CHICAGO, Dec. S.-The bears in wheat were
In trouble to-day. May opened at e91A099I%o
against ssssc at the close yesterday, but some
rather heavy longs reaped good profits and
proceeded to realize their sales, breaking the
market to 900. When this pressure was re-
moved. however, the market rebounded to
frequently within a narrow range
weakened IN the last hour under hammering
by bears and free realizing sales, and touched
9ec again. This was followed by another rally
70 09l6c, then weakened again, and closed at
991Sc. Late cables were all higher with the
single exception of Antwerp. Early London
cables showed decline of is on cargoes, but
this was evidently an error, as late advices
noted an advance from yesterday Corn was
fairly active, strong and higher. Receipts were
36S cars, but included only 25 cars OF contract
Shorts were uneasy, partly from poor
inspection and partly from the strong tone in
wheat, and covered freely, though selling was
restricted. further decrease in the already
small stocks in store here was also a strength
euing factor. Trading in December was very
light, and was tempered by a realization OF the
thara m a n fprhf In
IL before the month is ended. In fact, this con-
dition of affairs is likely to
extend into more remote futures
unless inspection improves materially
Shorts are beginning to realize this fact, and
are inclined to cover their deals in all futures
The result Of it all is a strong market. Decem-
Der opened at 472ec, touched 47Ac, held steady
for time, then bulged 20 1880, weakened
to 4s14c, advanced to 4s7sc and closed
nc lower. May fuctuated between 4olzc and
4S3sc, closing at 1870. against 1890
at the close yesterday. Oats were. dull but
firm and closed with q substantial advance
over yesterdays last figures. The provision
trade appeared to be badly mixed most of the
day. The market started with sort OF bound
because the hogs at the yards were half esti
mated at %. 600 and prices 10c higher Offer
ings were quite free st the advance and prices
went back TO the closing figures OF Monday.
Later dispatches from the yards reported heavy
| hogs at l6c up at 81 IS. This was 25c higher in
two days and cut profits of packers materially.
On this showing the price OF pork went again to
best points OF the morning. Packers bought
back pork and ribs sold early. Toward the
close the pit became dull and prices held steady
at little change from last night.
