REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO December 17.-There was o
sudden revival Of activity In wheat specu-
ing at 9ec. for May: rose steadily to ETC.,;
broke OF to 9essc.; rose 20 9lkc., with
scarcely any wavering, and closed Ct tho
outside figure Oh, the regular Board. but
advices were unfavorabIe. The amount
OF wheat on ocean passage showed
an increase OF 100000 bushels, end
foreign advices were unfavorsble, but
in early, which made the shorts anxious 70
cover and gave O stronger tone TO values.
The receipts were light at ali points. With
shipments almost at standstlll. Large
shipments OF flour from New York aSniekod
in giving greater firmne9 to the market,
There was very little doing In corn. Distant
deliveries ruling q shade easier. while Gil
the year delivery was moderately arm.
sions were strong after an easy opening aud
closed higher.
