CHICAGO, December l5.-The wheat bust
ness gave unmstakable signs of an under
living sentiment of strong bullish tenden-
cies pervading the crowd. The opening
was about &c higher than the close OF
Saturday The immediate cause of the ad-
vance was the firm tone of the cable ad-
vices and "a marked advance in the price OF
silver at New York There was likewise
a continuation of Saturdays expectation OF
decrease in the visible supply. The sig
nificance of the advance in silver was. OF
course. the expected hinderance IT would
prove to the freedom Of Indian and Russian
shipments. II should not be lost sight OF
in this connection that silver was consider
ably higher than when shortly after this
years crop began TO move, and although
much was said of its paralyzing effect, some
Indian aud Russian exporters managed TO
put aflOat as much as had been expected
with silver in a normal condition. Corn
was inactive and closed &c lower than on
Saturday. There are indications OF in
creasing receipts in the near future and
the present mild weather is not an encour-
agement to prices. Heavy liquidatlons IN
oats superinduced by heavy estimates for
tomorrow caused a decline of lc in prices
Provisions, n fairly active trade reported
and prices ruled irregular within moder-
ate range Flour, steady and unchanged.
