FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SITUATION AT HOME AND ABROAD-MARKET REPORTS
STEEL UNFILLED
TONNAGE FIGURES
CAUSED SURPRISE
Street Had Generally Ex
pected That Orders on
Books Would Show
Heavy Decrease.
NEW TOniv, Dec 10.-The statement
of unfitted orders of tho United States
Steel Corporation was regarded as an
unexpectedly favorable development on
tho street. Ofllclats of tho company
estimated only two days jiro that tho
decrenso would be over 200,000 tons and
tho fact that now ontora kept so closo
to production was n. pleasant surprise.
This result Is belloved to reflect tho
appearanco of new business In tho last
W days of November. Now orders In
Docember aro comlnc In on a mora lib
eral scala than at any ttmo In tho past
four months, and there Is n good pros
pect that next month's alatomont will
show an Increase In unfilled orders,
v Tho action of tho Vandcrbllt directors
(n deferring dividend payments on stocks
In tho New York Central system Is n
ore disappointment to tho many holders
of Vandcrbllt stocks. They had grown to
regard December declarations as Christ
man boxes, and tho dividends for tho last
quarter of tho year have been desig
nated In that way for a long time past.
Tho statement that the deferred action
U duo to a doslra to wait for tho phys
ical consolidation of tho properties on
January 1 does not explain tho action
satisfactorily, as tho dividend declara
tions duo yesterday wero for tho last
- quarter of tho year and are In no way
connected with tho policy to bo Inaug
urated after tho beginning of the new
year. As It Is, stockholders may now
have to wait until tho middle of March
before they have any knowledge us to
1 what the dividend will bo.
At tho regular meeting of the Govern
ing Commlttoe last night arrangements
wore completed for resumption of trad
ing In stocks specified by tho special
committee of fivo on Saturday morning.
All tho stocks formerly on tho Clearing
House sheet will bo elenred through tho
Block Exchange Clearing House, and the
machinery of tho Clearing House has
been put In thorough working order for
handling the sheets.
Today there Is a good deal of conjec
ture as to what tho two, hours trading
on Saturday will show. The street gen
erally looks for quiet business on that
day, and It Is not expected that tho total
transactions will amount to mora than
60,000 shares.
ilonoy brokers look for n hardening
tendency In the money market, based on
an Idea Uiat trading In stocks will create,
ft new demand that has not been a factor
In the last two weeks.
Tho amount of Wall street loans be
tween brokers and Institutions has been
reduced fully ?ax,000,00u since tho Stock
Exchange was closed on July 30, and
they reason out that some of the large
Amount of stocks which was' then taken
out of the street will find their way back
to the market and necessitate new bank
ing accommodations. This view Is not
shared by many leading bankers, who
. .Insist that .money will be a. drug for a
long time In tho future and that even
"lower 'rates will prevail for both call
and time money.
' A suggestion that mora International
stocks will bo barred from trading by
the Special Committee of Five is ridi
culed by houses with foreign connec
tions. They Insist that Europe has been
fully advised of the advances In many
stocks hero on trading v through, tho
Cloarlng House and that neither Lon
don nor Amsterdam has shown any dls
, position to liquidate holdings of Amer
icans even where advances wero made.

MORE FIRMNESS
IN WHEAT TODAY;
CORN IN SYMPATHY
Selling Pressure of Little
Account Export Sales
for the Day Estimated at
1,500,000 Bushels.
CHICAGO, Dec lO.-Whcat wns a lit
tle firmer this morning nnd there was
nbt much selling prcssute. It was esti
mated that tho export sales tho last 21
hours wero 1,600,000 bushels. Tho techni
cal position of tho market was thought
to Imvo been relieved by tho recent
liquidation, but tho Illness of Emperor
William and continued largo receipts en
couraged oxtenslvo buying.
There was somo pressure In tho mar
ket at Livetpool on tho break In America
yesterday nnd warmer weather In Argen
tina, but Inter tho undertone there
Btendlcd on a belter inquiry for winters
nt a decline of lHd. Crop news generally
was better, although there nto somo
ports of Kansas still needing moisture.
In tho main, however, the winter wheat
belt has received much-needed precipita
tion. Shipments from Argentina for tho week
were OKtlmatcd at 120.000 bushels,
against 216,000 bushels a year ago. An
olllcial report places tho area sown to
wheat In Oreat Britain at 10 per cent,
larger than that of tho preceding area,
with the general outlook favorble. Tho
German Government has Issued another
warning to economize In tha uso of
brcadstuffs, and somo apprehension Is
oxpressed regarding tho outlook of tho
for new Argentlno wluit is keen, and, if
is expected that largo supplies will bo
taken by countries not accustomed to
buy there.
Corn wns stendy to firm In sympathy
with wheat, and on oxport sales tho last
21 hours of 300',TJ00 bushels shipments
from Argentina for tho wcok aro esti
mated nt 3,400,000 bushels, against 2,
050.000 bushels a year ngo. Corn at
