Th!« state of mind on the floor usually marks the turn The writer has observed it i>n two oiher occasions NEW. VOHK. December .The stock nark«t to-day recovered much of the srouml ost In last week's declining movement. Iin- >rovement began at the outset and was maintained to the very end, nt which time the day's best prices were recorded. Trail- ing was on :i larger scale than at almost any time site e the- resumption of open deal¬ ings. with activity most pronounced In the internatlonaal group. Net gains averaged almost ; points with sharp recoveries Irom their minimum l>y such Importunt shares as Cnlted states Steel and Southern I'udtie. The rlv> extended to a number of special¬ ties. Including equipment stocks and Beth¬ lehem Steel A few of the less active stocks, including Chicago and Northwestern and Chesopeake and Ohio, fell to established prices. Much of to-day's buying came from the short interest, but. according to reports, the rise was accelerated by Investment buy¬ ing from out of town. Heaviness of Northwestern was associated with the road statcmeent for November, which showed a net loss slightly in excess of JtVX'.IOO. while the Southern Hallway suf- lered to a similar extent for the sumo pe¬ riod. Foreign exchange declined to the bot¬ tom price ot the year, cables and sight drafts on l.or.don being quoted at $4S5*i, and 'v$l.ST>. respectively Time money also touched the minimum figures since January last. Vans from ninety days to six months be¬ ing made at per cent. Mercantile paper of the letter quality was easier.

PATTEN SELLS 600.000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT [Special to The Times-Dispatch.] CHICAGO, I.H'iember 2.s..James A. Fatten, known the world over as the wheat king, scld a line of possibly 500,000 bushels of the May future to¬ day in order to secure a handsome pioflt. The fact that this big specula¬ tor was liquidating a part of his hold- lugs spread over the wheat pit in a few moment.s, and the selling soon be¬ came general. The market was in no ct nidtion to absorb the offerings as rapidly as they came forward, and the result was price declines of 1 1-8 to 1 7-X cents for the day. In addition to the .selling by longs, short lines were also put out. The selling by fatten was doubtless the result of a cablegram received from Huenos Aires,, which stated that the best authorities place Argentina's exportable surplus of wheat at 130,000,000 bushels, and that their offerings would be more of a factor in the near future. In case Argentine wheat should come out in larger quantities, it will affect the freights and the Mediterranean de- maud, and it is more than likely to keep Liverpool under pressure and pre¬ vent any sharp advances in that mar- ket. The expori business in wheat to¬ day was smaller at 180,000 bushels. There was a further decrease in the visible supply in the United States for the week of l,:ifil,000 bushels. It is generally believed that this decrease will continue, and that this will prove a bullish help. Corn closed with losses of 1 1-4 to 1 :i-S cents. There was further strength early on a promise of unsettled weath- er, but with the weakness in wheat corn sold off rapidly. Oats were 1-4 to f»-S cent lower for the day, and the volume of trade was moderate. The country is selling grain in large quantities, and the situ¬ ation at the moment looks heavy. Provisions were unusually active, and the market was sharply higher early on the light hog receipts and the 1 51-cent advance in that market. On the advancs there was heavy realizing and the market closed easy. I Capital, Surplus, $1,000,000 SI,000,000 Old Dominion Trust Company, Richmond, Ya. Acts as.

JAMES A. PATTEN SELLS600.000 BUSHELS OF WHEAT
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]CHICAGO, I.H'iember 2.s..James A.Fatten, known the world over as thewheat king, scld a line of possibly500,000 bushels of the May future to¬day in order to secure a handsomepioflt. The fact that this big specula¬tor was liquidating a part of his hold-lugs spread over the wheat pit in afew moment.s, and the selling soon be¬came general. The market was in noct nidtion to absorb the offerings asrapidly as they came forward, and theresult was price declines of 1 1-8 to1 7-X cents for the day. In additionto the .selling by longs, short lineswere also put out. The selling byfatten was doubtless the result of acablegram received from Huenos Aires,,which stated that the best authoritiesplace Argentina's exportable surplusof wheat at 130,000,000 bushels, andthat their offerings would be more ofa factor in the near future. In caseArgentine wheat should come out inlarger quantities, it will affect thefreights and the Mediterranean de-maud, and it is more than likely tokeep Liverpool under pressure and pre¬vent any sharp advances in that mar-ket.The expori business in wheat to¬day was smaller at 180,000 bushels.There was a further decrease in thevisible supply in the United States forthe week of l,:ifil,000 bushels. It isgenerally believed that this decreasewill continue, and that this will provea bullish help.Corn closed with losses of 1 1-4 to1 :i-S cents. There was further strengthearly on a promise of unsettled weath-
er, but with the weakness in wheatcorn sold off rapidly.Oats were 1-4 to f»-S cent lower forthe day, and the volume of trade wasmoderate. The country is sellinggrain in large quantities, and the situ¬ation at the moment looks heavy.Provisions were unusually active,and the market was sharply higherearly on the light hog receipts and the1 51-cent advance in that market. Onthe advancs there was heavy realizingand the market closed easy.
