At the closo May wheat Hhowed a gain of 16 cent. Corn Is up Id cont. Oats Is unchanged. Provisions aro up live to ten cento. The wheat market showed greatest strength soon after tho opening. On a good domand from commlsslon-houso and locnl shorts sentiment at the start was bullish. Initial quotations on May wcro up to 16 cent at $1.10$rl II. The main causo of the urgent demand was a sharp falling off In receipts in tho Northwest. North-west. Another factor that ontered into tho situation, however, was a decreaso in tho amount on nassago, together with a decrease In world's shipments. A noticeable no-ticeable feature of tho statistics of the world's movement was the smallncas of shipments from Russia. Advices from Minneapolis told of a irood demand for cash wheat. With offerings light, prices advanced still further until May sold up to $1.1116. For a time tho market held firm, the strength being apparently due to a scarcity of offerings than to any great demand Bullish reports concerning concern-ing tho condition of tho wheat crop in .Kansas helped to support prices. Lato In tho day sentiment beenmo somewhat easier on profit-taking and on selling brought out by a considerable Increase In tho visible supply Tho weekly report of a Cincinnati trade Journal was also con-Htructcd con-Htructcd na being slightly bearish. According Ac-cording to this authority, tho snows and rains of tho past week havo afforded tho wheat crop partial rollof from the prevailing pre-vailing drouth. Whllo the ground Is still dry. existing conditions on tho whole were claimed to be qulto favorable. After Af-ter a reaction to 51.Wi3d.l0T. the May option closed at $1.11, a fairly firm under-tono under-tono being manifested at tho finish. Clearances of wheat and flour wero equal to 100,200 bushels. The amount on passage decreased 2.840.000 bushels, whllo tho visible supply Increased 1,471.000 bushels- Primary receipts wcro 1.033.COO bushels, compared with l.G5S,00 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago Chi-cago reported receipt: of 7S1 cars, against 1182 carsvlast week and 907 cars a year ago. Considering tho enormous total receipts, re-ceipts, tho corn market had a fairly firm tone tho greater part of tho day. May opened unchanged to IS cont lower at 45C?451$c. sold up to ioftSSlic, and closed at 45lc. Local receipts were 1025 cars, fcur of contract grade. A steady tone prevailed In tho oat market. May opened unchanged to 14c lower at 3llA&'Skc sold up to 3116c, and closed at 311ii331?jc. Local receipts word 181 cars. Provisions wcro firm throughout tho cntlro session. j At the closo May pork was up 10c at $12.9216. Lard and ribs wero each 5c higher high-er at ?7.1216and 5G.77!63G.i:T respectively.

Pollock & Co., bankers and brokers, G West Second South street, furnish fur-nish tho following stock letter and gossip received over their private wire: NKW YORK. Dec. 19. Logan & Bryan Stock Letter Market Is closing irregular but with a good, llrm undertone and very little change from Saturday's close; $1,-000,000 $1,-000,000 haa been taken for shipment to Europe, Eu-rope, and it Is rumored 51,000,000 gold coin will be shipped this week to Buenos , Ayres. It has been a typical holiday market, mar-ket, with no significance in tho trade. Wall street advices are uniformly bullish, particularly on the steel and coal stocks. Money, both time and call, continues plentiful, Indicating very llttlo uneasiness of tho new year. We continue to feel thu underlying conditions arc strong and Improving, Im-proving, and believe thoy will, in the end, prevail and bring ultimately higher prices for stocks. In tho meantime, however, wo look for an Irregular market. It would be too much to expect a patient to sit up so soon after the severe shock the market has had. New York T. A. Mclntyrc & Co. Stock Letter Tho speculation in tho general sleek market may now be said to havo relapsed into holiday dullness Incidental to this season of tho year. Wo believe that any of tho better class of stocks should be bought on any fresh bear drive, especially when the market Is under an attack, such as those witnessed last week. If purchases, of any of tho good stocks are Judiciously made on ,such occasions and held for a reasonable length of time, thoy will show fairly good prollts; but we would only ad se purchases on the weak spots at the present, with a view of selling sell-ing out promptly on any bulge for a scalp, as we do not think we are going to havo anything better than a scalpers market the rest of the year. New York Marshall. Spader & Co. Stock Letter In a general way tho list was well taken care of today. Wo bellovo that with the opening of the new year general confidence will bo demonstrated in a most satisfactory way. Tho technical situation of the market Is infinitely better bet-ter ns a result of recent liquidation. New York Dick Bros. Stock Letter Tho market has been professional, narrow nar-row and sluggish today, showing turns of strength and weakness and closing with unimportant changes. Early gains were, ns a rule, lost again In the late trading nnd most stocks closed heavy. The United States Steel stocks again wero ag-grosslvcly ag-grosslvcly bought, but they sold off at the closing. Numerous specialties wcro marked up. The railroad list was not very active, Somo good buying was seen In Pennsylvania, but the stock did not hold Its gain. There was very llttlo news. Money was unusually easy and sterling continued strong. Tho total transactions were smaller than for somo time. NEW YORK. Walker Stock Letter- Wo do not look for any great activity until un-til after tho first of tho year. The market, however, should hold llrmor and looks llkt a purchase. NEW YORK. Hutton Stock Letter-Professional Letter-Professional operations characterized today's to-day's market practically during tho entire session There was no pressure to sell from any source, and probably tho heaviest dealings In any one security was centered In the ateels. Jt Is said that Mr. Lnwson's article will appear in his magazine maga-zine tomorrow on this corporation, nnd plentv of mud slinging may be looked for. However, these stocks were bought during the entire session by bankers Identified with these securities, and It is plausible that any attack by the Boston operator will be repulaed by tho continued heavy buying of recent date and that all offerings offer-ings will be taken freely by thoso willing 10 sell It Is hardly to bo expected that any great activity will be witnessed In tho market until after tho first of the year, but we do look for a gradual hardening of prices to this period nnd on any recessions good securities are a buy.
