And Corn, Oats and Provisions Follow 1t
Upward.
CHICAGO Dec. 9.-Big exports, equivalent
to !, 2l5 900 bushels from five ports pulled
the price OF wheat here half a cent out of
the hole. At the close the market was
steady at Nc gain over last nights prices.
Corn shows an advance of &c, and provi-
sions, after averaging very weak, left on
slightly above yesterdays final figures.
Wheat opened a shade easier on light busi-
ness and the large receipts in the North
west but there was not much offered, and
with the demand sufficient to absorb it
readily, prices held steady. Later, when
the clearances became known, the market
displayed decided strength. On the ad-
vance there was free selling, but the market
soon rallied. The big exports, ia ken in con,
nection with the reported dullness ana
weakness of the trade abroad, were sur.
prise to the trade. Many contended tnat
the exports are OF wheat sold during
the summer for future shipment, and only
now going forward. Others said it was
merely wheat consigned on speculation, as
it could be carried cheaper abroad tnan
here. 1t was also declared that the visible
supply indications pointed to an increase OF
2, 900 900, Notwithstanding the large exports.
On the other hand, there were rumors that
strong parties here have bought more than
twice as much for May as there is contract
wheat in store, and viii insist upon fene-
tian reckoning win the short sellers.
Corn opened about unchanged and after
selling up a traction eased on H9Zc. AT
the decline the demand improved and on
buying by commission houses, supposed to
be representing the provision interest, the
price was soon advanced full 15c. The close
was steady at top prices.
Oats fluctuated with corn and closed from
nc to sc higher.
Provisions opened strong and higher on
buying of ribs by Cudahy and the fact that
the hog market was quoted early as opening
lfuhnF Ia
lower. The second report caused some SELL
ing of provisions and there was quite de-
cline from the opening prices, but late IN the
session the clique brokers became actlVe
buyers and caused a reaction to above the
closing figures of the previous day Pork at
the close is up SC. lard from 59lOc and ribs
215c.
