CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-The trading in
wheat to-day was larger in volume and
attended with more vim than has been
shown before in three months. The mar
ket opened 5000 higher than at the close
on Saturday, on firm torei gn adviceS and a
good export movement. The deStruct ion
of 74O. 900 bushels of wheat at Duluth had
a tendency to make prices firm at the open
ing. There was heavy realizing on the
advance and prices fell back &c, but rallied
again and the market showed signs of eX-
element in the afternoon, when values
rose &c above the inside prices of the day
and closed at top figures, or 1$4c higher
than on Saturday. The visible supply
showed an increase of about 10000, the
wheat damaged at Duluth being deducted
from the total. During the trading i'll the
afternoon the buying by Sh OrtS was large
and aided in forcing the advance. Corn
was rather quiet during most OF the session.
The visible supply showed an unusually
large decrease. |, 159. 900 bushels, but the
expectation of large arrivals checked any
advance until the advance in wheat 0c-
CURED, when more life was shown i'll trad
ing and an advance OF &c over the closing
figures of Saturday was scored. Oats ruled
slightly easier early in the session. but be-
came stronger near the close and finished
%@4c over Saturday. Provisions were
