Show lies Mies New York, Dec. 3. Fractional declines de-clines were more or less general at tho opening of today's market, specialties, spe-cialties, metal shares and rails showing show-ing a lower trend. The most conspicuous con-spicuous feature was United States Steel, which was offered in an initial lot of 6000 shares at S4 3-4 to S5, tho latter being yesterday's final quota- tlon. Southern Pacific also weak- I 1 ened on largo sales, with a moderate I ' setback In Union Pacific, Erie and I $ Pennsylvania, Among the high- I I priced specialties, General Motors lost 1 I 3 at 462. Secondary prices were bet- 1 ; ter all around, however, most early Rl losses being more than recovered. Hf Chicago Grain ' 1 Chicago, Dec. 3. Broad activity'and K much higher prices in the wheat mar- mm ket "today resulted from reports of B' largo sales to foreigners and from Hj higher quotations at Liverpool. Ship- H ments arriving In Great Britain were H said to be receiving quick dlBtrlbu- H tion. Besides tho scarcity there was B emphasized by a fresh advance in ves- M eei rates irom Argentina ana Dy xne hh heavily loaded estimates of the 1 amount of milling wheat in the Unit- 'N ed States. After opening 5-S to 1 5-Sc II higher with December at $1.10 1-2 to mwm $3.11, and May at $1.12 3-4 to 1.13 3-4, the market reacted a trifle and then rose to more than 2c above yester- day's finish. B Corn hardened with wheat. Pros- pects of a somewhat increased crop II movement led, however, to consider- SI able profit taking at times on tho H part of holders. Opening prices, HI which ranged from l-8c off to 3-4c up, were followed by a decided sag, but then a new upturn. Oats reflected the action of corn. Packers soiling minimized an ad vance in provisions. 1 1 The wheat close was unsettled 1 1 1 1 1-S to 1 3-4c net higher, with De- cembor at $1.11 1-2, and May at . $1.13 3-S1.13 1-4.
