CHIcAGo-The wheat market was quite &C
tive to-day. and after temporary weakness
early IN the session another decided bull turn
was witnessed. Fluctuations, as on the two
previous days, were within moderate range,
but prices of late appear to advance more cas-
lily than they decline. The local crowd got
short little wheat yesterday, and there was
more selling to-day when December was around
7Ss4c, but the bears realized that with stocks OF
contract wheat SO light they have no leverage
and they cover speedily on every sign OF SUD-
stantial reactions.
Opening figures were about on level with
yesterdays closings to a shade better. Then
followed a temporary feeling of weakness and
&c decline. as it was generally believed that a
break was about due after the bulge that we
have had. There was a large volume OF trade
during the last hour of the session on local and
outside order account, with the bulk OF the
trading in December at around 7S7sqfs1Sc'

of &c in all futures and A9ssc below the eA-
treme top.

vanced the market became quiet and inactive;
