the opening, there was an advance of 10 points
Tor the day; closing strong at the highest
| figures. Leading bulls added somewhat to
their load, and local long scalpers furnished a
portion Of the supply by selling ont to take
their profits

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Outside the pork pit there
| was little activity on Change to-day. Trans
actions in wheat were of the same character as
| on Friday, and prices kept within a narrow
! range. May wheat opened sc lower at S412c,
| and sold off to Sic in the first hour. Buying by
a prominent house and the crowd who had got
| short caused a reaction, and by noon May was
| back to opening figures. There were periods of
extreme dullness after this, but the market did
| not again decline. May closed at S416c. Corn
was even duller than wheat. aud there not
| enough trading in the market to make it
| worthy of mention. May opened at 5416c sold
off to sac, and closed at 541sc Pork was the
most active article the board at the start,
but even it was not nearly exciting for
| the preceding days Of the week, The hog
| market was 10Q15c lower. May pork opened sc
lower at SIS 10. Big operators who have been
bears right along bought little and sold little.
| All of their purchases were used to club the
| market with when it showed signs of weak
ness May sold from Sl5 10 down to SIS 0215c.
Scattering buying in small lots advanced the
price of May to SIS 1919 by 1870 The ruling
figure for the rest of the session was S15 1919,
but occasional raids by local bears would break
prices down to $15 10, once as low as S15 o.
But there would be enough buying demand to
