CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 12.-With evil
dence at hand that all the current
deliveries on December wheat con-
tracts are being shipped out of Chi
cago promptly, wheat prices today
took an upward swing almost as soon
as business began. Unexpected firm
ness of wheat quotations at Liver
pool tended also to lift values here.
Besides, there was renewed buying on
the part of houses that have recently
been sellers to realize profits. The
opening. which ranged from 4 de-
cline to 4 advance. with May 1854 L
to 1.65 and July 144h to 144ss, was
followed by material gains all around.
Corn and oats sympathized with
wheat strength. Reports of further
rain in Argentina had only. a tran
sient bearish effect. After opening
unchanged to = lower, May 1.26& to

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 12.-Th'
taking up of the railway shares, lee

Another favorable factor was thu

Short Covering in Steel.
The rally in stocks like United
States Steel and Baldwin Locomotiv,
was set down principally to shor
covering. Baldwin at Thursday'i

MORGAN LOAN BIC
BOOST TORRANCE
Funds Playing Powerful Part
in Steady Rise in
Bond Values.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. December 12.-The Morgan
loan to France is playing an impor-
tant part in the continued upward
trend here of the and . per cent
bonds or rentes. as they are called.
Proceeds of the loan, available as a
guarantee of immense purchases of
rentes, brought a steady rise during
recent weeks. Such is the opinion of
many French financiers, including
Senator Henry Berenger, former re-
porter of the budget in the upper
house.
Four weeks ago the and 5 per
cent rentes were quoted at 4S.00 and
5s.2o, respectively. Since the Morgan
loan was voted by the Senate and
Chamber. November %. both these is
sues have steadily improved, the 3
per cents today being quoted at 81
francs and the 5 per cents at 62
francs so centimes.
The complete success of the French
internal four billion franc loan which
closed Wednesday, the balance of
trade now in favor of France, and the
money market recovering it's resil-
iency in respect to government bonds,
are other symptoms causing bourse
experts to be optimistic regarding the
continued upward movement in
renteS..

by GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 12.--High-
er prices for speculative rails and
some Of the fractions gave an ap-
pearance of strength to today's bond
market.
The leaders were Chesapeake and
Ohio convertible SIS. which made an
other new high above 10S, keeping &
pace with the advance in the stock,
and the Erie issues generally. OF the
latter the general As were very
strong, up point and a half, while
buying at advancing prices appeared
in the convertible series. St. Paul
bonds staged a rally, the IS Of 1925
and the AIS Of 1892 each gaining a
point or more. There was a gain
OF a point or so in Seaboard adjust
mentS.
Traction Issues Feature.
In the fractions the Interborough
issues provided the feature. The re-
funding SIS got back about all Of
Thursdays loss. The market for the
6 and per cent notes was also bet
ter today Chicago Railways 5s were
higher, but below the high made
earlier in the week. No particular
enthusiasm was shown for industrial
bonds. Cuba Cane Sugar IS were
heavy below par. United States Rub
ber 5s dropped back fractionally. The
copper bonds were just about steady.
Among investment bonds there was
great irregularity. First mortgage
rails were lower, with the notable
exception of B. & o. first As, for
which there was an unusually heavy
demand. Liberties were practically
unchanged. For the heayiness in the
high grade rails indications of flrmer
money were probably responsible.
Trading i'm New Notes.
No Improvement was apparent in
the foreign group. Reports of new
foreign financing were numerous. in
cluding a Greek and a new Belgian
loan. There was talk that some time
next year France might again call
upon Anne rican bankers
An interesting feature of the out
side market was the inauguration of

January traded up to 1881, March
