CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Deliveries of wheat
were unexpectedly large to-day. Baker
sent about 100, 900 bushels and Counselman
about as much more 1t is estimated that
at least 1850, 900 bushels landed with
Poole, Sherman 81 Co., and that b. +.
Hutchinson and Armour d Co. caught lot
more, quantity not named. Inc Market
was not nervous but prices We're held fairly
steady. Bear influences are at work to still
further depress values but there was
good buying throughout the session and the
substantial decline that many looked for
did not take place. The increase in the
visible supply of over 1, $50, 900 bushels was
larger than the trade had been led to ex
pect, but thoughtful traders were not in a
frame of mind to be thrown off their bal
ance by any exhibit. A place in the state
ment had to be found for the 600, 900 or
700, 900 bushels regularly ground up by the
Northwestern millers. Gables were
dull and depressed and reported lower for
wheat but no change in quotations was
made in the dispatches. Private advances
from the other side were discouraging in
the extreme. There was reported heavy
selling in the pit to-day. but inquiry failed
to confirm the talk in this particular. The
session was only two hours and half IN
duration, and business did not seem to be
phenomenally large. The fear of having
wheat delivered to them may have induced
them to sell their holdings. but the property
did not come out in sufficient quantity to
overwhelm the market, which was remark
ably steady under the circumstances, the
closing being within &c of yesterdays con-
Guiding quotations, the range only being
about &c at SAGE for December, S5$6c for
January S5Yc for February, 913scOfor
June There was no afternoon session,
the board adjourning at l o'clock out of re-
spect to the memory of the late vice preSi
dent.
CORN WAS DULL,
with speculation confined to small lots by
local scalpers. Receipts were good, but the
light deliveries and bad weather, and steady
Liverpool and New York markets scared
the shorts, who bought early and advanced
year sc. The demand then subsidized and a
gradual reaction followed and at the 1
o'clock close all the appreciation was lost.
Year opened at 40$4c, sold at 40Ic, broke
to 4038c, then advanced to Al sc, weakened
and closed at 40Mc, &c lower than yester
day. Longer futures were quiet and steady.
May closed at 3935c bid. Shippers bought
price as year.
Oats were firm, and a shade higher.
December sold at 2S1a @29c, and closed at
zoe.
Provisions were quiet and prices slightly
lower for pork and lard, ribs remaining firm
at yesterdays prices. The provision crowd
is evincing disposition to await the publ
cation of the monthly statement of stocks
on hand before doing much in the way of
speculation. The certainty that the exhibit
will SLOW a very large increase in stocks
had a weakening influence, but the effect of
such showing has been discounted in
great measure. Trading was almost eXclu
Sively on speculative account. Prices kept
within a narrow range and closed steady,
although shade lower than at 10 o'clock
yesterday. Mess pork closed at $40 for
January, S10.121a for February and 5000
for May. Lard closed at Sc. Is for Janu-
airy, 1928 for February and $5.3215 for
March. Short ribs closed at S4.921s for JAN
uary, SIS for February and S.. 10 for March.
