llVeFles are again higher. There are said to
be few orders here from the South to buv

January deliveries, and Of course affecting all
later months. Prices advanced l7-l000

| CHICAGO, Dec. I6.-The leading markets
to-day showed marked improvement, par
| ticularly wheat, and IN lesser degree corn.
| The better feeling came jointly from outside
and local influences, home buying being good,
and the New York visible supply figures max
| ing over 500, 900 less increase than ours. The
close of the morning session was firm and
| steady. Wheat opened SOC higher, and
| for the first hour ruled a little heavy and
| somewhat downward. within nc on free sell
| ing and an increase of ,600.0Q0 bushels shown
for the week at decline; New York reported
| a good shipping demand on export account,
| and an increase of only 1000, GOO; this induced
/ a frmer feeling, which was followed by an
advance of &C, the close being steady at only
a fraction less. Corn opened steady and with
| an entire absence of the brisk demand which
| influenced year options yesterday; this in
| duced a drop from 4l1zc to 1890, which was
l the extreme range on the morning sessions;
the fluctuations were confined to &c. with no
particular feature to the market. Oats con-
tinued dull and heavy, with but little trade
in any except for May delivery. which is the
only option showing any signs OF life, quota
lions in other months being entirely nominal.
| Provisions held up with moderate activity,
but showed little strength and only slight
fluctuations. Cash pork was quoted at $40 ~
and cash lard at VIC. The lowest qnOta-
lions were generally current at the opening.
