Chicago, Dec. 12-Wheat opened easy
this morning, fuctuated aimlessly during
the most of the session between narrow
boundaries, but finally closed hard, firm
and higher, the final tone being ascribed
to the action of corn. There was hardly
anything of interest in the way of news
that affected prices. May opened 591s to
$3.50, sold between 59hd593sc and 59sz0
59%c-closing at the outside, H61kc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat was quiet
and steady.
Corn-The receipts and the estimates
scared the corn shorts" to-day. The for
The anxiety did not take definite shape,
nor result in unusual strength until near
the close, when prices responded actively
to the covering and advanced to the out
side point of the day which was sc higher
than yesterday for MAY. May corn opened
at SOC and closed at 50Kc. There was no
cndnge IN cash corn.
Oats were dull, quiet and without par
ticular change, until just before the close
when the bulge in corn worked to their
benefit in moderate way. There was
nothing bearing on this grain in the gossip
of the day. May closed at 3234 132Jsc-1sc
higher than yesterday.
Provisions-Some encouragement to the
holders of product was the talk of an i'm
mediate dropping off in arrivals of live
hogs. The. strength so derived received
further assistance from the market at the
yards which was higher and later in the
day, from the advance in grain. The close
was TIC higher than Yesterday for Janu-
airy pork and nc higher each for Janu-
airy lard and January ribs.
