CROP DAMAGE IN ARGENTINA
SENT PRICE OF CEREAL
HIGHER IN CHICAGO.

Chicago. Dec. denomination that
heavy crop damage had been done by
hot winds in southern Argentina
caused renewed strength today in
wheat. Opening prices ranged from
last nights level to 1s@Ac up. May
which started at 9O& 69Uh to 81, the
same change as the market taken al
together, rose to 81 Nc. s..
Prices afterward sagged in conse-
qucnce of a decline ut Liverpool and
owing to the prospect of increased re-
ceipts southwest. The close was easy
with May at 90M, a net gain of shade.
Corn eased on account of favorable
weather but later became firm with
wheat. May opened shade to 10 q u c
lower at 4sH to 4sssc and rallied, to
4S%c.
Weakness again developed because
points east of Chicago were reported
underselling this market. The close
was easy a sixteenth under last night
at Asa for May.
Commission buying kept oats steady.
May seemed Inclined to hold at the
opening range, 33 to S3hc, shade
either way from last nights figures.
Provisions hardened as result Of a
lighter run Of hogs. first sales varied
from 21ac lower to nose, including
May at 1875 to $1S.77h for pork.
$10.22h for lard and $9.97a to SO for
ribs.

Blease had not taken an oath to up
hold the constitution and laws of his

tecr colored men as we'll as white men.

FIGURES Are Low
IN STOCK MARKET
PRICES OF STOCKS TAKE TUM.
Bile DOWNWARD SUDDENLY
IN WALL STREET.

New York, Dec. s.-Prices Of i'm
portant stocks went below yesterday
low figures when the market dropped
downward abruptly again today. Ihere
was no appearance Of effective support
and traders made vigorous onslaught.
Activity was on large scale while
prices were crumbing but there was
less Of the widespread liquidation OF
minor specialties which featured yes
terdays slump. Banks still scanned
collateral rightly but the forced selling
yesterday apparently disposed OF large
holdings Of the less stable securities.
Steel touched 67h Union Pacific 166 "a
31N. These figures represented declines
OF IN to IN with losses elsewhere
ranging up to five points. Bonds were
weak. l E@
Heavy trading in U. S. Steel was
resumed when the stock market open :
ed today. In the first three transactions
1900 shares changed hands at ssh, a
decline Of half. The list as a whole Vas
irregular with majority of small DE-
ciines National Biscuit lost y and
Canadian Pacific TX
Failing to get Steel below its open :
ing, the bears attacked Reading aho
lowered it a point. The trading was
nervous, various stocks moving half a
point up and down frequently.
Inc selling movement spent leS AohSo
around midday and there were recov-
cries Of / to IN which reduced the loss
IN the leaders to fractions. London
bought largely on the break, taking
fully 10000 shares
Steady improvement occurred during
the afternoon, despite the extreme
dullness which prevailed. Reading sold
g above yesterdays close and full re-
coyeries were made by Union Paclhc.
sAmalgamated, Northern Pacific and
other shares. Wabash fours and Wa
BASH Pittsburgh terminal certificates
were forced down three points.
The market closed easy. Following
the usual practice Of closing out con-
tracts on the day, short interests pur-
chased steadily and restored prices
quite generally to a parity with yes
terday's closing. In the last few min
utes however, the market again exhib-
tied a downward tendency. -..
