CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The Russian ukase has
come at last but it had not the effect on the
Chicago wheat market that was anticipated.
Indeed the report of the issue of this i'm
perial mandate has been made so many
times and its appearance so confidently ex-
pected, that traders generally had taken it
for granted that the prohibition was but put
off few days and the effect of the ukOse had
spent to great degree itself before its ISSUE
But continental, as well as English, cables
came in higher, and this. together with an
unusual advance in the price of English
farmers deliveries and reported better buy
ing at san Francisco, started the market to
advance the second time, and was mostly ac-
equitable for the firmness which existed to-
day.
San Francisco was reported stronger at
81. II, fan advance of &c per blu. France
was reported a good buyer there and the
United Kingdom also reported as doing some
buying. The export clearances from four
ports for the week were 100 packages larger
of flour, and 1924 blu of wheat larger than
last week. From both coasts the increase in
exports was $4,000 bu wheat and flour.
For twenty one weeks the exports are re
ported S7,3S3,000 BUSH against 100000 blu
for the same period last year. The export
clearances yesterday from four ports aggre-
gated $4,000 blu wheat and flour. New

was about s4017Sc higher than yesterdays
closing, but eased off about H@I2c from
opening figures, then started upagain. prices
advancing 1@lIsc, ruled irregular. and the
closing was sole higher than yesterday.
The corn market started strong at some i'm
provement over Yesterdays closing prices.
After about ten minutes of active business.
the enthusiasm fattened out and dulIness,
with. however, a very firm undertone, was
the predominating feature for the remainder
OF the day. November opened at G0c and
closed at 5Sc; yeai ranged from Acc to 47c the
opening being at from 46s4c to 47c, and clos

The trade in oats for future delivery was
unusually light, the market being absolutely

closed 4c lower at that price. May started

traders, and in the absence of any strong
lead from any of the influential packers,
price changes were light. Pork closed 2I5c
lower for December and January, and 7I2c
lower Tor May. Lard is unchanged and ribs
are also at the same price as on the day be-
fore, except for May, which is a fraction
better.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
