the case for a week or more. Saturday

for preferred has been 20. Today one
broker was anxious to get bids for both
securities, but none were made. He
offered to sell two shares of the COM
mon at 20 and a like amount Of the
preferred at 40. When no bids were forth
coming he said he would pay 10 for the
common stock and 90 for the preferred,
and these bids accordingly went on the
record.

was 40 and the asking price 115. The

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. November 29.-Wheat eased
Off today owing to a return OF weather
favorable for the Argentine havest-
There were also reports that the new
Australian crop was being freely offered
at Liverpool; heavy shipments from Du-
luth helped to check the decline The
opening was Is to u lower, and fur
ther setback ensued before the market
began to show power to rally.
Unsettled weather put some firmness
into corn. Signs Of liberal arrivals next
week, however. brought about a reac-
ton. The opening was a shade to Y
higher. but gradually the gain disap-
peared.
Oats sagged as a result Of demand
being slack. Price changes, though.
We're narrow.
Despite strength in the hog market.
provisions went down grade. First sales
ranged from 21aa5 lower to advance.
and then suffered general fall, because
of increasing offers from scattered
sources.
Scattered longs letting go of December
tended afterward to keep the wheat mar
ket weak. The close showed a loss of
ssaIa to ssaA net.
Unloading on the part of a bull leader
brought about subsequent material de-
preston in the corn market The close
was heavy, lsaA to Las under last night.

Specialties Are Weakened.
Markets Equilibrium Restored.

The long succession of dull, colorless
days during recent weeks on the stock
exchange was broken into Tuesday by
a general rise of fair proportions. The
advance grew out of an oversold condi-
ton, and resulted in wedding out the
weaker shorts. This accomplished, the
markets equilibrium was restored, and
stocks became almost motionless once
more. Except for Tuesdays rise, there
was no general movement Of conse-
quence. Speculative sentiment was still
beariSh.
Reports from various lines of trade
were discouraging. and a large increase
in idle freight cars indicated diminished
activity in business. October railroad
returns were mixed. but in most cases
they showed shrinkages in net earnings.
Steel trade reports told of further re-
duction in working forces, price cut
ting and contraction of new business.
The close of the month brought
furry in call money, such as is not
unusual at this time Of the year. The
money market was influenced by
preparations for December 1 interest
and dividend payments. and by unusual
" heavy shipments of gold to Canada.

NEW YORK, November 29.-There were
no changes of importance at the opening
of the stock market today. Fluctuations
We're unusually small. The coppers were
firm, but among the rest of the list there
was preponderance of slight declines
which gave the market an easy tone.

additional fractions.

and further unfavorable reports of busi-
ness conditions.
Offerings were small, but there was no
sustaining demand and prices eased off
generally.

of inactive specialties indicated the diff
Guilty encountered in placing loans on

account Of themselves. despite the prev
alence Of inside selling elsewhere, and
