CHICAGO, Dec. 3-The wheat market took
on veritable boom to-day before the close of
the afternoon session, the temper of the market
freely The buying was more general on both
local and outside account than on any previous day
since the up-turn In prices began The starting
price for the May option was 65ac per bushel, or
20 higher than at the close last night. Public
advices from abroad were favorable. Early pri-
vate cables quoted eargoes higher, but noted
that holders were selling more freely, with in
creasing shipments OF Indian wheat Later pri-
vate cables were not as encouraging, and quoted
an easier feeling at Liverpool The offerings
were very free at the opening, and May fell off
to S5sc, ruled steady, and then began to advance
on good buying, induced by reports of large
purchases for export. The price ad-
vanced to $3.50 at the 1 o'clock ad-
journmenr, and on the afternoon board con-
tinued to advance until the options had touched
$3.50, the highest point reached by the option
since the present advance began. The excite
ment in the pit was very pronounced after the
price had passed SIC, and the volume of trading
on the short afternoon board was equal to that
of the entire morning session One operator
was credited with the purchase Of two million
bushels for May delivery, but the buying ap
peared to be very general The closing prices
were about the best of the day. The receipts at
primary points show falling off, with clearings
from three seaboard points of 214 900 bushels.
Corn ruled active and steady on the regular ses-
sion, but became strong, with wheat, closing Sc
higher than yesterday. The shipping demand
was light but receipts were smaller than ex-
pected. Oats ruled quiet, and closed at yester-
days figures. Provisions were not so active
Mess pork opened go per barrel higher, fell
back 20 030c, rallied again to nearly the outside
figures, and closed steady. Flour was fairly act
I've and firm at former quotations. The leading
