Chicago, Dec. AT the close of the
wheat market to-day prices had fully re-
covered from weak point reached early,
and were even higher than at the end Of
yesterdays trade. The governments fig
cures on wheat feeding, which were is
sued Yesterday afternoon, did not confine
the eXtravagant estimates made by indi-
Viduals, but the effect on to-day's market
was very mild, for the reason that within
the past two days influential parties had
quoted an amount suspiciously close to
that Appropriated by the AGRICULTURAL
department at Washington, and had oper-
ated on that basis. Three different re-
ports on the growing winter wheat were
out to-day, but the crowd were pleased to
reject them all on account of the wide diff
ference shown between them.
An easy feeling was obtained in the mar
ket at the start; prices receding to a slight
extent during the early part of the ses-
sion, but rallying on coverings by shorts
ing much firmness at the close Nav
wheat opened from 601kGD60Ac to Coo sold
between 0jSsUbV12c, Closing at the latter
Sake higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was easy, sales being made 1lc decline
from yesterday. The nominal close was
firmer with the futures.
Corn-The speculative element in corn
continues to look to the receipts for in
spiration Although to-day's arrivals of
291 cars were 81 more than expected. they
were not viewed as extraordinary, but
quite the contrary. The sentiment Of the
crowd shows the appreciation of the
changing conditions and the values re-
fleet the improvements. Prices were firm
to-day, the close being slightly under the
sold between 4912li495s G50kc, closing al
497sc-hc higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was about steady. A shade better
prices were obtained in some Instances
Oats were without enlivening feature
The strength and weakness of the sur
rounding pits found reflection in the
market, but the trade was so light that
prices scarcely changed a fraction The
late strength in wheat was responsible
for firm close with a gain of isc over
yesterday for May. Cash oats were quo
tably steady.
Provisions-When the market for the
product opened, a loss from Yesterday
was shown in the orders expected. This
was due to the reports from the stock
yards. A subsequent report gave an inn
provement in the live hog trade and
prompt rally took place in provisions. ST.
multaneous strength in grain added
weight to the firmness and closed prices
at the outside point OF the day, with jan
yesterday. and January lard 2ian5c
higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing
