The General Market Remained
Somewhat Dull Throughout
the Session-Corn Was Firm,
Oats Steady, and Provisions
DuIi-LiverpooI Steady, With
Some Disposition to Buy.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3O.-The last trading
day of the year wound up with wheat
&c higher, the advance being due to
liberal buying, light receipts and re-
ports of export buying at ST. Louis.
Corn gained 35c, oats like amount, and
provisions closed firm, with pork and
xibs higher and lard unchanged. lnffu-
Gnced by the free buying of yesterday,
wheat opened higher, with May 56c up
at 653lc. There was some heavy selling
at that figure, prices declined about &c,
and the market was easier for
about an hour, Partridge leading
the selling. Some liberal buying
orders made their appearance in time,
however, to prevent further
break and the market began to firm up
again. The receipts here were 80 cars,
and Minneapolis and Duluth modestly
reported but $40 cars in the Northwest.
This encouraged the traders who were
Inclined to buy, and the offerings were
readily taken. Liverpool was quoted
steady, with more disposition to buy.
The clearances from the four principal
Atlantic ports today, exclusive OF New
Orleans. amounted in wheat and flour
to $4,000 bu, and were a potent in
fluence in the bulliSh news of the day.
There were plenty of buyers as the
session neared the end, and May closed
at the top figures of the day. May
opened at 65$lc. declined &c, advanced
nc, lost &c and reacted &c to the close
at 6614c to close at 66Bc.
Corn was firm Oh free buying by
Hess, BartletI-Frazier, f. NJ. Baxter
and other traders. May opened &c
higher at 3S25c, lost sc, sold up re and
reached SC, to close 8 C from the top at
B655c.
Oats were shade frmer in sympathy
with the larger markets. May opened
unchanged at 304c, lost sc, sold up &c
md closed at the top figures OF the day
hi 305sc.
Provisions were firm but dull. Hog
receipts were light, being but $1,000,
and offerings were light, helping to firm
up the market. Compared with last
night, January pork was Zoe higher.
May lard unchanged and May ribs sc
higher.
