Chicago, Dec. 3.-The bulls supplied the
news and Partridge the wheat to-day,
the former gaining the victory, which
was, however, not very startling one.
In the matter of information the bears
had two very important pieces IN their
favor. which for time prevented prices
from assuming very decided upward ten
dency. These were the increase in the
amount on ocean passage of 328, 900 bush
els, and on the visible supply of l.2l5,O09
bushels. After the visible supply had
been thoroughly digested the market be-
gan to improve and showed good strength
up until the end of the session. May wheat
opened from 6O@c 20 6O%+c, sold between
60i3c and 6lhc, closing at 6lQ6llsc-%s0i2c
higher than Saturday. Cash wheat was
Corn-Whilst wheat was a trihe easy
at the start corn was directly opposite.
The advance in prices was retarded, how
ever, by the small amount of business.
May corn opened at $3.50, SOLD between
49Ac and 49lzQA9Bc, closing at $3.50
1sGAc higher than Saturday Cash corn
was strong. prices ruling 14Q1ac higher
Oats-The business in this grain lacked
attractiveness, the tone being similar TO
that of corn as a matter of sympathy.
Fluctuations were narrow and the trade
featureless. May oats closed i4c higher
than Saturday. Cash oats were firm.
Provisions - The market for produce
sagged from sheer neglect at the start,
the fact that hogs were firm and in some
a ffordfncr no raftpf
in the session without reason or explana-
ton the shorts suddenly began TO display
some anxiety and their covering opera
lions gave another phase to the tone, and
caused a substantial rally, particularly in
pork. January pork closed 10c higher than
Saturday; January lard 2izc higher and
January ribs sc higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing.
