General Advance.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW \ORK. Dee. 19.- Some of the
H-M'eiah it s engaged most of the specula
I me attention at the opening of the stock
j market today, although declines were
jnade throughout the list. Sears. Roe
, bu< k <<r Go. sustains! the biggest decline,
I opening at 200. Mexican Petroleum was
another weak stock sueeialty, opening \
off. Within fifteen minutes Mexican Pe
; troleum’s net loss from last night’s clos-
• ing price was 2 1 /*.
Among (he railroads New York Cen
‘ trul suffered the largest decline, opening
•1 * 1 lower. Amalgamated Copper was %
j oil on the first sale, but soon recovered
jits loss and gained * s additional. United
states Steel common acted similarly,
opening v’-s lower and later recovering.
Among the other initial losses were
American Can *4, f Anaconda Copper * 4 ,
Atchison I Bethlehem Steel *-. Chicago
\. ,rt bwestern * 2 . 'Western Maryland
•'•4. I nited States Rubber Southern
Rad way ’ 4 , Union Pacific 1 ; h, Southern
Pacific * 2 , Reading Lehigh Valiev * 4
and Chino Copper \. American Smelting
opened fractionally lower, hut subsequent
ly made up its loss. American Tobacco
was off L, at th« beginning, but recov
ered. Canadian Pacific was supported bv
London buying and was higher.
The curb was dull.
Americans in London were quiet.
In the late forenoon activity and
strength we-re shown in many of the lead
ing issues, which made gains ranging
around 1 point. American Tobacco was
the most prominent feature, advancing 7X Z
points. Union Pacific and Amalgamated
were also in brisk demand, moving up 1
i each, ('all money is loaning and renew
ing at 1» 2 per cent.
Ait(*r the violent upturn around midday
the market eased off. although prices in
the last hour were above the low range
•»f the day. Covering by shorts gave a
strong tone to the market after 2 o’clock.
The market closed firm; governments
unchanged; other bonds steady.

'’ I i ICAG<), Dec. 19 7 ■r< was i weak
ei* feeling in the wheat market this morn
ing, and prices were off as much as %c
under increased offerings and a lack of
buying power. Shorts were pretty well
covered and unless there is a continua
tion of the demand for cash wheat a price
setback Is among the pr-.babiliti< s. Liv
erpool was unchanged. The Ohio Decem
ber report as wired by (’ A. King * Co.
placed the condition of wheat as com
pared with an average at 92. against 98c
in November and 83 last December.
Corn yield per acre Is placed at 29,
against 3 5 a year ago. C«»rn was well
sustained in price on unsettled weather
in parts of the belt.
Oats were fractionally higher for May.
The other months were firmer.
Hog products were higher in sympathy
with hogs at the yards.
Profess! dials in the wheat market were
on the selling side during the last half
hour of today’s session and as the buying
power was less pronounced there were
small recessions from the best prices
reached and resting spots were %c to
*2<' lower Cash sales <>f wheat were 80,-
000 bushels and there wen fair sales of
this grain on export account at the sea
board, as \vell us in the Southwest.
Corn closed with losses of %e to %c,
with the weakness late, in sympathy with
wheat.
<>ats were oft’ the smallest fraction and
were under less pressure than the other
grains. There were 145,000 bushels of
cash corn aid 210,000 bushels of outs.
Provisions were fractionally better for
th.- day, but failed to hold ihe highest
prices reached.
