CHICAGO, Dec. 2-It was thought yesterday
chat wheat could net be more inactive or heavier
but the first half of todays session proved
the fallacy Of this as. until shortly before the
noon hour, the market dragged heavily, with
scarcely any fluctuations in prices. The rumor
that some wheat had been taken for export at
the seaboard. and fresh war rumorS woke uD
speculation, which served to carry prices up fully
1c over the close Yesterday. In the afternoon
the market was quite excited for time, January
advancing to SIC and closing at that figure
which is an advance of 14c over yesterday. The
latter advance was due to more exciting news from
the Balkans and the intimation that Turkey
was about to advance with her forces to accom-
plish the military occupation of Roumelia The
advance In values aided by the fact of lighter
receipts and an increased demand from the win
ter wheat districts. There frmer feeling
in the other grains, from nearly the same causes.
and both corn and oats closed frmer and higher
than yesterday. Provisions were weaker, pork
closing l2ac lower than yesterday.
