The tone of wheat was heavy all day. Trad
ers generally put bearish construction on the
governments final crop figures, and regarded
the total as depressing. in view OF the absence
of foreign demand. Shipments were big from
Argentina. India and Australia The market
was also Influenced by the large primary re-
eeipts in this country and by the liberal stocks
on hand. Another fact that weighed against
prices came in the shape of rather vigorous for
eign selling here. Some reaction followed. but

NEW YORK Dec. 16.-Bradstreet's tomorrow

slight slowing down in Industrial lines, reduced
activities in speculative circles and easier money.
due apparently to lessened trade and speculative
demands are the leading features brought out
in the reporfs this week. In iobhing trade the
tendency has been toward quiet Iron and steel
operations are being curtailed aud overholiday
operations in cotton goods is also heard and the
material markets tend toward quiet The

but displaying caution about accommodating stocks
for future demands. Supplies in the hands of
distributors are generally light. There is wi ide
difference of opinion as to the outlook for 1911
business. In iron and steel there no indca-
tions that any significant change is imminent.
Rail requirements of the New York Central sys-
tenn for 1911 were estimated at los 600 tons
other roads have taken moderate amounts and
some orders are pending. but inquiries for roll
ing stock are mot numerous. Structural steel
makes the most encouraging showing in the vol
ume of new business, vet the margin of profit is
small. The tonnage of structural work for the
year. however. equals the best previous record.
II is the height of the buying season In retail
dry goods. and the quiet obtaining in jobbng
markets is seasonable and due in part to in
ventory time. There has been some Improvement
in dress goods for spring. and fall lines promise
to be more attractive than usual. The silk mills
are hrmer in their demands for higher prices.
Trade in boots aud shoes is still far from active
the present being quiet period, most of
the travelling statesmen are coming home for the
