v. 15 THE MORNING- GBEGOOTAN, WEDNESDAY, 21, 19Q4. ROPOF ARGENTINA Prospects Are improving in South American Country. I WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE Foreign Markets That Draw Supplies From Here Show No Uneasiness Over the Present . Situation. Argentine Treacher and -crop condition have fcr some time been important Influences. In the speculative markets of this country, and in a somewhat lejened way In those of Europe. I nsettled -weather baa prevailed in the South American republic for several .weeks, the" pe riods of fine weather being few and iar be-: ttreep, besides short-lived. Claims of damage and denials of serious damage have been made. besides assertions that damage was only to the quality, and not to the quantity. Te fact that a crop reporter has been sent to the Argentine from this country to investj gate and report the crop condition, and -that th'.c person was employed by a Minneapolis gra'n house that figured prominently In the rurt care In the Spring wheat crop, which re ports have bn proven by the Government's crop statements to have been grossly exag gerated. says tho Modern Miner, made the fade -f both America and Europe discredit tht advices ho cabled to his house. However, t!sey exerted an Influence in domestic centers at t.m when market was in a receptive csrd't'on for anything of a bullish character. The !ateat and most reliable cable from the Argentine report the weather improving;. One cable read. "Weather clear and fine: wheat harvest operations proceeding- favorably." Foreign markets that draw supplies from Seuth American exporting countrjes evince no uneasiness over the situation there.

Trading, Is .Profound at uarge up era tors wun rawn FromExchanae NEW YORK, Dec 2a The strength cn tc- fiay6 dull market was due lo the light offer ings of stocks. The dullness was really pro found: at times. The total for the day, al though only .about 500,000 shares, conveys no adequate Idea of tho .dullness, as this bUsi nees, small as it was, was largely concentrat ed In a few active stocks. The operators on a large scale, who have made the great mar kets of the recent past, seem to have with drawn by common consent, and to have left the dealings to a smaller, but still progres sive class. There la a pretty general agree ment that revived activity IS; not to be looked for until 'after tho holiday period. The large energies - and resources devoted to the great annual setuemenis-civeri mucn irom tne stocu mcrktst. This factor eems less operative than usual this year, owing to the abundance -of money offerings in the Joan "market. Tho call. loan rate swms to begin to. stiffen toward the end of the year, and little is done at as high 3 per cent. The loans are made on time for periods up (o six months, hot at 3H Bd 3 per cent and there is only a languid de mand even at these rates. Pressure continues upon the urgent supply, and also upon that of London, the average 'being in favor of Berlin. Along with the central aeretment In the probability of dull trading until New Years are expressions of confidence In higher prices when the market does become active again. These expressions of confidence Influnce the small buying such as was In evidence today. Attention la alert also to discover eigne of the investment buying which it la an old tradition to look for In Wall street during December. This Is supposed to come from capitalists who expect to receive dividends and Interest at the first of the year and- will see an advantage In securing their desired holdings before others who are seeking the same ends. The picture of capitalists of resources sitting .down to await the Immediate receipt of their increment of wealth for new outlad&e not appeal for its grea,t veruimiutudQ to all demands. Thare was some realizing In the United States Steel stocks on the additional advances In prices of product. Southern Pacific moved In response to rumors of, a coming dividend.

AT START REAK IN' LIVERPOOL PRICES CAUSES EASE ATCHICAGO. Heavy Movement In tha Northwest . Adds to the Depression Later Revival Not Upheld. CHICAGO. Dec 20. The greatest weakness in the wheat market waa manifested at the Immediate opening. Under the Influence of a sharp break In prices at Liverpool, Initial quotations here showed substantial losses, the May option being off c to e. at $1.10 to $1.10. According to a prominent British crop statistician, the decline at Liverpool waa caused by holders reselling Argentine cargoes and by late offerings of parcels, from that country at lowar figures. Another factor that contributed to weakness here was the heavy movement In the 2Corthwt, arrivals at Min neapolis and Duluth today being 478 caw. against 424,-cars the. corresponding day a year ago. The start shorts took advantage of the lower prices. and covered freely. Congested conditions of the December delivery caused a quick advance In the price of that option, other optldns rising In sympathy. The revival of bullish sentiment was aided by small re ceipts In the Southwest. On the upturn May sold up to $1.11. Realisms sales caused an other reaction late In the day, and tho mar ket closed ' easy. Final" quotations, on May were $1.10, a loss Of c. Corn was weak throughout the day. Baying by shorts had a steady effect. May closed c down, at 45c , The volume of tradlnr in cats waa light. May closed unchanged at 31c Provisions were easier, as a result of a small decline In prices at the 'yards. Senti ment later- became firmer on a demand from packers. At the close May pork and lard were each up 2c. and ribounchanged. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. ..$1.09 $1.11 .$1.00 ...1.10 l.ll 1.10 .. .07 - .03 .07 corn: Close.
