CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-There was quiet business
in wheat most Of the day. but a rather firm
tone prevailed, prices averaging above yester-
days close. Both sides were able to draw
some comfort and consolation from the news in
circulation. and this fact helped to keep the

houses and the crowd generally seemed dis
posed to buy. and selling was
rather meager and cautious. May wheat
opened at $3.50. improved slowly to 97I6c
eased off g fraction, but during the last hour in
the face of easier late cables, grew strong
again, advancing 10 e71sc, closing firm at 975Gc,
against 9Ic at the close yesterday. shorts Gov
cred freely on increasing strength and there was
some good investment buying Corn was in
cltned to weakness. The clique. which sold a
good deal OF December corn on yesterdays
bulge delivered good deal Of it, ard this made
the market weak to-day, as parties who re-
ceived it did not want it and put it on the market
me clique is showing disposition to
milk the trade; they seem disposed
corn, break prices, and then cover at a profit.
II, as is claimed, they completed a deal, they do
not want the advance to start now, as it would
necessltate buying with current receipts for
some weeks at high prices. They prefer TO keep
prices about on shipping basis for some time
yet Receipts OF contract corn were
in alk This ought to have proved bull factor,
but did not. December opened at 4635c, sold
off to 1870, reacted with wheat to 4736c, weak
ened TO =. 14c, advanced to 411Sc and closed at
1850. May was steady within range of Nc
Oats were quiet and steady, closing unchanged
20 shade higher. Hog products opened higher
on small receipts Of live hogs-only $4,000 head
and an advance of 10c followed. But the ad-
vance developed free selling and the gain was
lost. A slight rally followed when corn ad-
vauced. During the last hour the market was
steady and the close was near inside figures and
at moderate declines compared with yester-
days last figures.
