Argentina Offers Wheat Seven
Cents Below Domestic
Quotation.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-wheat trad
ing showed a holiday character to-
day. There was a steady start, but
weakness developed. News was a
little bearish. Dispatches said Ar
gentina was offering wheat at &c
under American wheat at the Gulf
to the British. Wheat finished nc
higher for December, but late
months were lc lower.
Corn was weaker. also dull. Pres
sure through the commission houses
carried prices off after there had
been little fair buying at the
start. Indications are that the cash
corn market will need support in
order to bolster up the bull side
Much corn will be diverted here in
the next few days, as Chicago il

Futures were 4a5sc lower.
The usual preholiday spirit caused
but little activity in oats Prices
were lower, along with other grains
Oats were unchanged to sc lower.
Rye was 2i4c higher and barley
was lc lower.
Provisions broke sharply after a
firm start. 4 gain of 25a4Oc in hogs
at the outset encouraged a little
ouying, but heavy selling of lard
by big packers caused the market

WILSON WAITSFOR
MEDIATORS' REPLY
Labor Secretary Holds OFF
Action in Anthracite Coal
" Controversy.

Secretary, of Labor Wilson yes
terday was waiting a report from,
his personal medfators before max
ing any new move in the contro-
versy between anthracite coal mine
operators and 125,000 workers dis
satisfied with the award of the Ma
donal Anthracite Coal Commission.
Wilson expected a report from
Mediators James Purcell and L. r.
Thomas, who yesterday in Philadel-
phia attended a meeting between
of the operators aud
miners union officials.
Labor Department officials eX-
pressed a hope that the controversy
could be settle without a strike.
The miners, following yesterdays
meeting, gave notice they would
frame their policy in the contro-
versy at a meeting of the general
wage scale committee in HaEleton,
Pa. Tuesday.
The miners asked the operator s
TO grant them wage increases aY-
eraging 13 per cent more than the
II per cent advance awarded by the
Anthracite Coal Commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson. The
operators refused TO grant this de-
mand, on the ground that the min
ers agreed in advance TO abide by
the decision of the commission. lac
operators, however, offered to aJ-
just any individual grievances Of
