CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. December 1l.-fioiders
OF wheat found reason for rejoicing IN
the action OF that cereal to-day. From
the opening until the close prices pressed
slowly but surely upward, and although
the gain was not great one. still IL was
made In the face OF difficulties. The crowd
WAS fixed for break at the start. but
an unexpected demand sprang up, with
Brosseau 4 Co. leading In the buying
May wheat opened at from IS to 5gAc.. ad-
yanced TO 59s.c., and closed at 5y1sc.--s 50
nc. higher than yesterday. Cash wnea'
was steady and without essential chanBe
as 10 prices
There was a slow trade In corn, prices
being confined within the narrow range
OF nc. all day. May opened al itsc.,
sold between that and 50c., and closed
at 4g7sc-a shade over yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
A moderate advance was made IN oats
Cash oats were shade frmer
Provisions-For a short while after the
start to-day II looked somewhat dubious
for product, the weakness in live hogs
giving a feeling Of depression 20 the trade
The turn in wheat, however, worked an
improvement In provisions and a recovery
took place which was kept well In hand
until the close. January pork was un.
changed from yesterday at the end oi
the session, January lard 2lzc. higher, anu
January ribs sc. higher.
