The short interest on Produce Exchange in
corn for December. which put the market up
10000 per bushel for cash and December No.
corn since yesterday, with bids for lots of
| 100000 bushels at soc, was caused by exporters
selling for December what they did not
possess. The bulls are squeezing short eX-
| pOrters most numerically.

| CHICAGO. Dec. SO.-The wheat market
/ to-day was almost phenomenon. January
/ opened 80 higher than 1t closed yesterday
/ and May sc, but even this was not enough to
satisfy the demands of buyers, for January
/ advanced &c more and May 80 before the
| top was reached. The main cause of the eX-
/ element was the posting of the visible sup
| ply. One week ago the increase was nearly
/ 10000 900 bushels, as estimated by our authOri
/ ties, and it was expected that the increase to-
/ day would be 5,O0O,00 bushels. Natural sur
/ prise was created by the announcement that
/ the supply, as compared with last week. had
/ decreased nearly 100000 bushels. January
rose to 1920 and May to S312c. At the top,
/ however, considerable unloading was done,
| and prices rcceded about sc. Liverpool was
strong and Marx Lane higher. The quota
/ lions showed 6d(0ls improvement for Cali
/ fOrnia and red winter of the coast on passage
/ and for prompt shipment. 1t is estimated
| that only about One-third of the crop is now
/ left with the farmers of the Northwestern re-
| giOn, although our receipts (fOr two days
i were 476 cars, against 300 yesterday. Corn
| continues slow and rather heavy. Year OPP
| ton has ceased to excite any special interest
| January moved up &c and May opened &c
/ higher, and moved up another &c, but 1t did
/ not hold. The visible supply showed de-
| crease of only los, 900 bushels, which shows
/ that the current movement OF receipts Is
\ nearly equal to the active export and the
| cOnsumptlVe demand. The double receipts
/ were Go cars, against SOB yesterday, and out
| of this number 1913 graded No. 2. The lower
/ grades OF corn on tae track continue IN good
i demand. Oats opened steady at the late adj
/ vance, and declined little with the other
/ markets. February pork opened at $40 95,
| sold down to $40 S755, and up above the OPEN
/ ing February lard openei at s &C, declined
i to COO. and advanced to zoe.
