New York. December IL. G. Bar

ed the six-hour session today and gave
assurances of excellent financial back
ing to Richmond's request. A commit
tee named to consider both the cases
of Baltimore and Jersey City will re-
port tomorrow or later in the week.
There was some talk of having the
Jersey City clubs franchise transferred

port and the seNtiment of the dele

mond and Syracuse.
No reference was made as to action
regarding the inroads made on organ
lied baseball by the Federal league
but this may be a subject for discus
sion during the remainder of the week

WHEAT IS HEAVY
NEAR THE CLOSE
Moderate Advance Scored Is
More Than Wiped Out.
Corn Loses

Chicago, December What turned
heavy in the last 15 minutes today and
a moderate advance which had been
scored was more than wiped out. Dis
closure that the market had become bare
of speculative orders to buy was respon-
sible. Prices finished weak at shade
to &c under Saturday. Corn lost i4e to
ssc net, and oats Z to ssc to sc. In
provisions the outcome was unchanged
to 10c down.
Buyers of wheat appeared to have full
ly satisfied their wants, and toward the
close were more intent on realizing a
profit than making any additional invest
ment.
Support from shorts was lacking, as
they had generally been forced to cover
just previous owing to an unexpectedly
substantial decrease in the domestic visi-
Bile supply. Besides rains throughout the
United States winter crop belt, where
drought damage was feared, had ten
dency to diminish somewhat the conf
dence of the bulls.
Foreign advices developed most of the
strength that characterized the wheat
market until the sag. Adverse weather
In Argentina and lighter European ship
ments were reported and 1t was said
India would soon prohibit exports. There
was also talk that ocean forwardings
from the United States during Decem-
| Der would be at least 40,0oOoo0 bushels.
the largest amount on record
Heavy receipts proved too much of a
burden on the price of corn. An In
| crease In the visible supply total added
| to the worries of the bull side.
| Oats merely reflected the action of corn
and wheat Trade was light and price
changes narrow.
| Provisions averaged lower on account
of expected generous supplies of hogs.
| Packers let so most willingly of pork
and ribs.

LESS DEMAND FOR
THELATE MONTHS
New York Market Is Quiet
But UndertOne Is
Steady

New York. December 7.-Cotton was
very quiet today. but there was enough
trade or investment buying to give a
generally steady undertone. The close
was net unchanged to 2 points higher.
The demand for the late months was
less active than 1t was toward the end
OF last week. but bullish sentiment was
encouraged to some extent by the con-
tinued absence of southern hedge SELL
ing on any important scale and the in
CT easing export movement, and there ap-
peared to be little or no pressure against
the market.
The opening was steady at an advance
of l to points in response to steady
about 5000 bales were reported In circu-
lation, but evidently caused no liquida-
ton of consequence, and the active
months sold about to 4 points net high
er shortly after the call Reactions of
5 or points Followed under realizing.
but trade buying made its appearance
ON every little setback and the close
was within or points of the best.
While houses with European connections
have been among the best buyers here
rec emily, and some traders have attrib-
pted The demand to German interests,
others claim that the buying of late
moAths has been largely for the account
of domestic spinners. Mills are said to
be buying spot cotton only for their
Immediate needs. while 1t Is reported
that they find difficulty In buying con-
tracts from southern shippers for deliv-
cries next summer or autumn at any
thing like the prevailing spot quotation
and they are taking futures on the de-
clines as protection against their needs
