WHEAT DROPS UNDER
 MODERATE SELLING
Close Easy 3-S@1-2c-Fine Harvest Weather in
 Argentine

Chicago, December 7--Wheat slid down today under moderate selling due mainly to fine weather for the harvest of Argentine.
 The market closed easy, as a l2e nn- der last night. Corn showed net loss of IA 6l ssc and oats decline of l4 d ss e. Provisions finished ' iac lower to frae- ton advance. Bears had control or wheat throughout the day. Resting or ders to buy steadied the market, but failed to induce a rally. From the start the crowd seemed bent on ienor- ing crop damage reports in Argentine s south. Dispatches telling of excellent conditions in the northern provinces where cutting was in progress received careful attention.
 Influence against the bulls continued to be found in millers' reports pointing to good prospects for the winter crop in the United States. Warmer tempera- lures northwest counted also and there were predictions that the government report Monday would be opposed to an upturn. May wheat sold from 90 7s @s0A e sse with the close at 90ssc, decline of Ikc net. Cold weather with in creased country offerings brought about setback in corn.
 A recent leader of the bulls was credited with unloading to consider r- able extent. May ranged between fsA and 4ssse closing easy, i4 9 ssc lower at 4S4 @4Sssc. Cash grades were weak. No. yellow was not quoted.
 Oats went down on account of sell inc .hy a few longs who seemed timid at first. May, which ranged from S24 s@ SSisc, finished hc net lower at 32$a c. Slowness of trade in provisions made the market average weaker. December lard sagged the most 1sc in all.

A Victim for Each Building

From the London chronicle.
 The belief, illustrated in the ballad of The Bridge of Arta," that human yic- tim is required to insure the stability of & bridge or building survives in Greece today. J. A. Lawson says
 There is no murder now. It suffices to obtain preferably from an enemy or an old person, hair, nail pairing, shred of clothing, old shoe or thread or stick marked with the persons height or foot print measure. and bury these beneath the foundation stone. The victim dies within year, but the building is safe
 Even a shadow will do. Mr. Lawson himself was dragged back by friend in Santorini so that his shadow might not fall across such a fatal spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told him that his four predecessors had all died from letting their shadows fall on foundation stones laid by them.

HEAVY SELLING MOVEMENT CHECKED After an Irregular Opening Stocks Gained Ground
 Slowly

New York. December 7.-While it is yet to be shown whether the stock mar ket has recovered its poise, the heavy selling movement for the time beingr at least. has been arrested and fiuctua- tions today were comparatively unim- portant. The rally which followed yes terday's severe break marked the crisis in the weeks movement, for there was no recurrence today of the persistent pressure which unsettled the list on re- vious occasions. To what extent the improvement in the market tone repre- scented the passing of the weeks dis turbing influence as market factors, was a matter of conjecture. The market, however, has plainly recovered from the first effects of the Hartman merger de- cson and the urgent liquidation of spe- cialties.
 Apparently this crusade has run its course. After an irregular opening stocks gained ground slowly. A break of 21z points in American beet sugar and five points in Texas company affected the general list adversely and encour- aged bear traders to renew operations. The list sold off easily, but the move ment was limited, and net changes for the day were small
 The clearing house banks and trust companies made their expected favor able return showing that the deficit re- ported last week had been wiped out, surplus of $3,000,00O appearing i'll the actual tabulation. There was decrease of s42,o0o,0O0 in loans, and of $40, ,000, GOO in deposits indicating that out of town in- stitutions had assumed a part of the burden of loans as they were in a posi- ton to do with the call from the comp troller for d statement of their condi- ton out of the way.
 The bond market was steady. Sales, total par value, SSS3, 600. United States bonds on call unchanged,
