CHICAGO. Dec. O.-1uS 1Id-hOIo OAA
.change to-day for the leading cereals and
provisions were steadier, frmer and higher.
This was we'll sustained throughout the
day, every market closing strong excepting
only corn, which weakened somewhat dur
ing the afternoon. The wheat pit was
rather quiet, but the feeling was firm, and
at the close month was about dc higher
than at 1 O'Clock yesterday, January 3$c
better, seller February II better. and May
was 1ac higher. Early sales were at about
yesterdays closing figures, but gradually
improved about 3 e C, eased off triie, then
advanced and closed tolerably firm. Or
the call board prices ruled steady under
moderate inquiry. Winter was irmer and
3sc higher. Spring was in fair demand,
No. . was stronger and &c
higher, No. 3 was 1ac lower
and rejected, neglected and nominal.
Flour was quiet and unchanged. There
was no inquiry to speak of from local job
bers, although exporters bought fairly.
Corn was again active and rather unsettled,
but generally stronger and at the close
cash November was about 58c higher than
it closed at o'clock yesterday, December
Or year abou. 5}sc higher, January q high
er, February &c higher, and May was &c
higher. The opening prices were at about
the closing figures at o'clock yesterday,
but when it vas found that the receipts
were again large, there was quite a pres
sure to sell, under which prices soon weak
ened, December OF year falling &c, Janu-
ary $sc and February 5sc,but later under
the infuenceof an increasing demand and in
sympathy with the sharp advance in pro-
visions the market improved, year selling
up nearly 1 &c from the lowest point Jan
uary &c, February .alc,--Nay 5sc. eased
off a trihe, then fuctuated and closed
strong. IL both legitimate and specula-
tive circles operators seemed to take hold
with more confidence to-day. In the af-
ternoon the offerings became somewhat
more free, and exceeded the demand prices
weakeniug trife.
Oats were very steady, cash and Novem
Der delivery sold 3lc over the closing on
'change yesterday, and slightly above the
call boards closing. A good speculative
demand existed, and the offerings were
mearer. There was also an improvement
in the deferred futures. No. cash
sold at 35I @36c, rejected
about 3215c, but nominal,
for consignments were all sold on track,
sample lots were steady and firm, and the
inquiry was good. A feeling Of weakness
INTERVIEWED before the close of the morn
ing session, but in the afternoon the feel
ing was stronger and prices frmer. Bar

ported i'll store lots to-day. Rye is fairly
active and steady for spot.
The inquiry for hog produce was quite
active on speculative account, and the offer
ings were liberal. The feeling was rather
quiet early, and prices ruled comparative
.ly steady. About the middle of the ses-
sion decidedly stronger feeling Was de-
veloped, the competition for the offerings
was active and material advance gained in
prices for all the leading articles. The
shipping demand was fairly active for all
descriptions. The receipts of product
were moderate, and the shipments of all
kinds were very large. Foreign advices
were rather unfavorable and pork and ba
cor was quoted Sd Lower. Easter markets
steadier and prices little more favorable
to sellers. The demand for pork was ac-
tive and the offerings were free. Prices
were advanced 25a 30c on the whole
range, and the improvement was moaer-
atelv we'll maintained. Cash quiet and
steady.
An active demand prevailed also for
lard. and the offerings were lib
eral. Prices were stronger, advanced
15@2oc per 100 pounds, and closed
comparatively steady. Cash in moderate
demand and steady. In the afternoon
higher, and lard in active demand and a
shade sitter. Some 43,Oes live hogs of
better quality were received to-day, and
prices were we'll sustained, the market be-
ing active and stronger in packing and
shipping account.
It having been announced here on
'change that the German reichstag had
passed law stopping the importation OF
American hog products in any form into
the German empire, GLOBE representa-.
tive called upon P. D. Armour. He stated
that he understood from private advicet
that this law would be passed over 6
week ago. He did not think i
woH affect the trade here much
at least at present. The low prices there
a1d greater demand and high prices here
had operated to keep all the meats in this
country anyway. The only shipments
were going to France, England and Rol
land. There might be some bad effect
felt when prices changed, but not at pres
ent.
The recent failures resulting from tn
Harry In corn were the subject of genera
discussion on change to-day, but no fur
