Chicago Dec 19-Buying Of wheat by
New York during the last thirty or forty
five minutes of to-day's session, was the
only event of note in to-days trade in
that market Previous TO that time
range Of a of cent was wide enough to
accommodate the business Nor was the
news anything more than of the ordinary
routine character. May wheat opened
from 5sisG5SAc to 581sc, sold between 5SGl
5Slac and 5S5sG5S34c, closing al 5S5sc-12c
higher than yesterday, the gain being
all made near the close. Cash wheat was
dull and easy, the nominal closing being
quotabe firmer with the futures.
Corn was Influenced by the mild weather
and by the receipts, which ran over
the estimate to-day, with further in
crease in arrivals promi sed for tO-mOr-
row. The final improvement in wheat
worked a partial recovery in corn, but
the close was still under yesterday. With
drawals from store were 9,796 bushels,
and 1882 bushels cleared at the sea-
board. May corn opened from 49isd49Ac
to 491kc, declined to 4S34a487sc, closing at
491sc-s1hc under yesterday. Cash corn
was easy to 14c. per bushel lower.
Oats declined fractionally with corn and
rallied later with wheat. Several prom
inent commission houses were active sell
lers at one and the same time early in
the day but the demand seemed Of suffi-
Client proportions to absorb the offering
and to prevent much of loss to prices.
May closed a shade higher than yester-
day Cash cats were in poor demand ex-
cept for choice grades. Prices averaged
Mdkc per bushel lower.
ProVisions-Packe were unanimous
as sellers OF product to-day and shorts"
