CHICAGO, December l7.-Wheat opened
little lower this morning. outimproved lii
tone, advancing to point above the closing
prices of yesterday. The strength was due
almost entirely to local causes, as the con-
dltiOns abroad grow more and more dis
cOuraging. The foreign markets were not
only dull and nearly lifeless, but prices con-
tinue TO recede. There were some crop
damage reports in circulation, the plant
having been injured, it was said, by late
freezing and thawing, besides the receipts
IL the Northwest were smaller. AS rule,
however, the trade was slow and exceed
ingly narrow, while the operations were
largely of a scalping character. Corn was
quiet but firm, nearby futures scoring
decided advance. Oats were quiet but
stronger, and closed shade higher. Hog
products were unchanged, with moderate
demand. Flour, dull and lower. Wheat,
