New York. December Temporarily
early in the week wheat prices were
slightly stronger. offerings were
smaller while sellers for the decline
were showing nervousness and anxiety
TO cover. prompted almost entirely by
encouraging cables. European markets
were stronger, owing TO fear of polltl-
cal complications in southeastern Eu-
rope. II was alleged that Turkey was

was friction between Austria AND

dency in Europe. the war clouds hav-

attributed 10 large world 5 shipments

as in the Southern spot markets and
at Liverpool. The various bull cliques
have been taking advantage Of these
conditions. They have been aggres-
sively active during tho week IN ad-
Vancing prices AS much as possible.
BuIIish Sentiment Prevailing.
Early in October, when tho prospects
favored a crop OF over 100000
bales. trade sentiment was so bearish
that very few could be induced TO buy
cotton. as prices in the local market
were slumping to the icc. basis. II
was then believed the market was on
the way at least to &c. In the last
two weeks. however. there has been
revulsion of sentiment to such an eX-
tent that there are practically no bears
now left. Almost every one, OH the
contrary, is very bullish and predtc-
tions are now being freely made and
circulated throughout the trade that

later on to over l5c.

bulges this week, but this has come
mosely from original trade bulls taking
profits. but on the failure Of more
than temporary reactions of l. or 20
points so far to matcrialiZe. and the
continuance Of very bullish reports
from the South regarding the alleged
great spot demand. such sellers have
come back into the market and re-
instated their large lines at higher
prices. Middling cotton is now being

BUOYANCY IN WHEAT
OF SHORT DURATION
1t Is Quickly Succee ded by Weakness, Attributed
Partly to keactionary Tendency in Europe
Corn Inactive and Narrow.

Well-to-do farmers ia winter wheat
territory are refusing current bids
and deliveries to country stations nave
diminished. Prices have now reached
such a low level that II Is tair TO
suppose that farmers in spring wheat
territory will also make lighter de-
liveries to country stations.
The Late Decline.
Late ia the week. wheat was down
10 a still lower plane. falling almost
t. the low record established several
days ago. Demand was devoid OF
spirit. while offerings were fairly
heavy. prompted largely by favorable
weather West and good private crop
reports. which were afterwards con-
nrmed by the Modern Miller. Then,
too. receipts at primary points continue
fairly heavy. but this factor was partly
counteroalanced by eorrespondingly
large shipments into consumptive chan
nels
The downward trend was checked
temporarily by Unexpectedly irner
cables, European markets being infu-
cnced partly by the expectation O.
light worlds shipments for the week,
and by reports OF injury TO the Ar
gentine crop from torrential rains.
There has been a decided abatement OF
war talk. and apprehension on that
score seems TO have largely subsised.
Little Interest in Corn.
in corn. the trading has been devoid
of life AS a rule, the fluctuations
were slow. Traders were inclined 10
move with great caution or to hold
aloof, awaiting more positive develop
rnents. In other words. every one, ex
cepting the farmer. seems TO be in
cl'ned to manoeuvre for decline. This
growth of 'bearish sentiment was OF
course, mainly based on all the stir
that has been made respecting the
huge crop. Nevertheless, there has
been a partial cessation of short sell
ing, as 1t has become the general i'm
preston that there has been too much
unanimity on the bear side. and that
the market was largely oversold. This
might result in embarrassment for the
shorts, In case the movement of new
corn should prove smaller than ex-
pected. and particularly should the
grading be poor
AS a matter OF fact the receipts
nave been disappointing. and ii has
aeen stated that farmers were refusing
&c accept current bids. To make
matters worse. the new corn received
thus far in Western markets has been
decidedly damp. some Of il containing
a large PERCENTAGE of moisture. More
over. IL is the general opinion that
there will be a decidedly brisk demand
for new corn as soon as II becomes
bly, dry. on account of the great
scarcity Of old corn and its products.
Besides. II is imagined that Europe
will buy moderately large quantities
in case the supply becomes larger and
freight room more plentiful
