cisfon largely characterized today's
trading in wheat. The market was
active and fluctuated frequently, but
wide changes either down or UP were
quickly checked. Talk of huge sup
plies in Argentina and Australia was
more or less offset by word Of fresh ad-
vance in vessel rates, lifting to 75A a

bought freely Opening prices ranged
from 1sak Y to Sa1s higher and there were
slight additional gains before a reac-
ton set in.

NEW YORK, December 10.-The un-

7.1s9.4s9 tons. an increase Of 1,024,037
tons over October.
The increase in the unfilled tonnage

well above, in many cases double, all

mark the greatest increase ever an
nounced by the United States Steel

mage is. with one exception, the largest
ever reported. The untitled tonnage
for March. 1913. was 7,4SS.956.
Just how much of this unified tom
mage Is represented by foreign busi-

believed that European orders repre-
sent a considerable portion. In ad-
dition to the European orders the steel
corporation is said to have booked
large orders in South America during

tended to swell materially the unfilled
