BEARS REMAIN IN
 CONTROL IF WHEAT
Close Weak Nearly a Cent Under Night Before.
 Corn Lower

Chicago, November 16.--Wheat head ed downward again today. The market has been on a decline for nearly three weeks. Rapidly increasing supplies and no adequate demand, allowed the bears to remain in control. The close was weak, ssQ&o under last night. Corn finished Hc to $ Q ise lower; oats varying from a shade off to like amount up, and provisions unchanged to an advance of 2oc.
 Except for an unfounded report that peace negotiations had been broken off, bulls in wheat found no encouragement. The effect in the pit, however, proved brief and selling was general and free. Argentine weather was favorable, northwestern car lot arrivals for the week nearly doubled those of q year ago, and Chicago receipts-of 1,500,00o bushels in excess of the shipments. Moreover. the Russian spring crop was reported to be 50 per cent larger than in 1911. December ranged from s5s4 Q s6s4c c. with last sales s5 2 Qs57sc. loss of Ac net.
 Ideal weather brought the corn mar ket to the lowest level of the year. Despite week and evening up little power to recuperate was shown. De- eember fluctuated between 471s CAT A c and 47M Q47 5sc closing steady B e F c net lower at 47 A 047 3sc. Cash grades were weak. No. yellow was quoted at 5s5sc.
 oats developed comparative strength. Offerings were light and contract stocks small for December. which sold from 30ss 930%c and closed a shade net higher at S0s QsOhc.
 Provisions ruled firmer, owing to a large shrinkage in the amount of lard on hand here. At the end of the day lard had risen 15 @20c, pork was un- changed to IT lko up and ribs dearer by 12 F 015c.

SHARP REBOUNDI IN
 STOCKS AT CLOSE
Full Recovery Brought and in Somes Cases Net
 Gains

New York, November 1s.--A heavy tone prevailed during most of tcday's uau. ing in stocks and prices ranged wen below yesterdays close. In the last hai' hour there was a sharp rebound, "hien brought full recovery and in some cases net gains. The early heaviness was at tributed to the announcement that a sps- cial session of Congress Will De caiieo in the spring for revision of the tarin' The announcement was seieed upon py bear traders as an incentive Tor selling and in the first hour the list was raided effectively. Losses were largest among industrials. which are expected to be most affected by downward revision and the declines. in some cases, ran to points There was a sympathetic decline through the rest of the list, some of the rail- road shares losing point or more.
 However, there were no indications that Governor Wilson's announcement had caused any deep seated uneasiness in Wall street. where it had been expected for some time. That the movement was merely a speculative one was indicated by the ease with which prices recovered before the close Trading in the last hour was more vigorous than it has been for several days, and the number of shares handled in the two hour session considerably exceeded the total in the five hours of trading yesterday.
 Bonds were steady. There was con- tinued liquidation in Colorado Midland 4s. Total sales, par value, $S75, coco.
 United States bonds unchanged on call on the week.

Hubbard Bros. < Co.'s Letter

New York, November 16.-(speeial Jour cablegrams from Liverpool state that the feeling there has become very bear ish because of the heavy movement and the belief that the calling of an extra session means a general revision of the tariff, which in turn. they think, means general prostration of business in this country. following the precedent of the early DOS.
 AS we have stated, there is very bearsh sentiment among a number of large houses here who feel that no such movement could come from q moderate crop and their views are undoubtedly scattered broadcast over Europe who naturally wishes to buy at low prices.
 In face of this sentiment and the re- ceipts, the market showed comparative steadiness yesterday. There were many rumors of a bearish ginners report, but nothing was heard today.
