New York, Dec. 9.—The reduction In

rate today had a strengthening effect
on the securities markets in all the
great financial centers. The action
came as a surprise, as the conditions
which prompted it have been in exist-
ence for several weeks past without in-
fluencing the governors to recede from
their position. \
The demand which carried prices
upwards was somewhat desultory and
spotty in character. Many stocks not
usually prominent, and including a list
of low-priced stocks were embraced in
the movement. Hopeful views were
still heard about the stock market of

Fort Worth, Dec. 9— All former
records were smashed today on the
Fort.Worth market when a load of
Oklahoma hogs topped the market at
2835. Thia is the climax of a persistent
advance in the market. Receipts of
livestock were fair in all divisions. The
count showed 3600 head of cattle, 500
calves, 1500 hogs. 315 sheep. Beef
steerB, active and steady, to 16c higher;
cows and heifers, strong; calves, active
fuH styho8s, 5C to 100 higher; sheep.
The run of beef steers was composed
of medium weight grassers to fully
well-finished cake and real-fed killers,
and met an urgent demand. Three
loads of choice steen, sold at 86.50 and
85.50; while other representative sales
were from 86.70 to 85.00
Stockers and feeders had a fair
showing for the lass of offerings, be-
ing of light thin stockers to good feed-
ers. The bulk of sales on this class
ranged from 83.00 to 84.00; with the
top at 84.65.
The day’s offerings of cows and
heifers was made up of canners, with
a few loads of good cows. The top
ruled at 83.60; with the bulk from 82.40
to 83.25.
There was nothing strictly good of-
fered in vealers, the bulk of the supply
bet ng of fair to medium heavy calyes.

report, when issued, will compare with
a commercia] crop last year of about
13,800,000 bales, and the total ginning
last year of 13,086,000.
Receipts at the ports today. 26.582

Chicago, Dec. 0.—Wheat for Decem-
ber delivery advanced to 8140 5-8c dur-
ing the sesslon, marked by considerable
bullish enthusiasm. The market, how-
ever, failed to maintain the gain and
at the close prices were a shade lower
, to 3-40 higher than the previous close.
Corn and oat* closed firm and provis-
ions strong. m
A bulge of nearly 2 cents in the price
of the December delivery was the fea-
ture of trading in wheat. The market
opened firm with prices unchanged to
3-8c higher, with December at $1,99 to
81.09 8-8, and May, $1,083-8. Persistent
efferts of shorts in the December op-
tion to cover gradually forced prices up
until the current months touched
8140 5-8, May in the meantime ad-
vanced to 8108 3-4. Late in the ses-
sion, however, several of the commi-
sion houses took advantage of the
bulge to sell and this caused recessions
all around. The market closed about
steady with December, $1.09,3-4 and
May, 81.08 1-4.
Actlelty and strength characterized
the trading in corn. The close was
firm with price* a shade to 3-8c to l-2c
higher.
Exceedingly light receipts inspired
active demand for oats today.
Provisions were strong all day be-
cause of the continuance of abnormally
light receipts of live hogs throughout
the west. Prices at the close showed
net gains of 7 l-2025c.

New York, Dec. 9.—The cotton mar-
ket was called upon to absorb some
heavy realizing sales today and prices
showed irregularity in consequence,
with the tone rather nervous toward
the close. There was no actual weak-
ness, however, and the volume of fresh
buying uggested quite general confi-
dence in a bullish bureau report tomor-
row. The close was steady, net eight
points lower to five points higher, the
late positions which have been telling
at a big discount being relatively firm
on bull support.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of three to ten points on a con-
tinuation of the outside buying move-
ment created by yesterday's bullish
census report and with the further en-
couragement of strong Liverpool mar-
kets. Offerings, however, were ex-
ceedingly heavy on the Initial advance
and it was made quite apparent that
some of the bigger old bulls were again
taking profit on a L\.e scale. These of-

dling. 14 11-16c. Sales on the spot, 740
bales, and 800 to arrive.
Futures opened steady at an advance
of two to five points on favorable ca-
bles. The market was very steady in
the early hours and prices were six to
ten points over yesterday’e closing,
which established a new high level for
the season. July sold at 15.83c at the
highest.
Around noon profit taking by the
long side became very heavy and it in-
creased In the afternoon. The selling
erased the advance and finally put
prices six to eight points below yes-
terday’s closing.
The advance today. in the opilon of
conservative traders, was caused
wholly byrthe belief , that tomorrow’s
estimate of, the crop from the govern-
ment must-come in below 10,600,000
bales.
The market closed steady, with
prices one point up to four down, com-
pared with yesterday’s closing. Fu-
