CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. December 3-The bulls
supplied the news. and Pardridge the
wheat to-day, the former gaining VIC
tory which was. however. not very
starting one. In the patter Of informa-
ton. the bears had two very important
pieces I'm their favor, which for a time
prevented prices from assuming a very
decided upward tendency. These were the
Increase in the amount on ocean passage
OF l.S2S,000 bushels, and In the visible sup
ply OF l.2l5.0O0 bushels. After the visible
supply had been thoroughly digested the
market began TO Improve, and showed
good strength until the end Of the session.
May wheat opened at from CO.'S 20 VIsc..
sold between COZ and 6lisc.. and closed
at ll6lhc.-b4lsc. higher than Saturday.
Cash wheat was hsc. higher.
Corn--Whilst wheat was trifie easy at
the start, corn was directly the opposite.
The advance In prices was retarded, how
ever, by the small amount OF business.
May corn opened at $3.50, sold between
49A and i9isU4ssc. and closed at f9izc.
haAc. higher than Saturday. Cash corn
was strong. prices ruling kai9c. higher.
Oats-The business In this grain lacked
attraetlyeness. the tone being similar 70
that OF corn, as matter or sympathy.
Fluctuations were narrow. and the trade
featureless. May oats closed Nc. higher
than Saturday. Cash oats were nrm.
without change In price.
Proyisions-The market for product sag
ged from sheer neglect the fact that hogs
were firm and In some Instances higher
affording no relief. Later In the session.
without reason or explanation, the shorts
suddenly began to display some anxiety.
and their covering operations gave another
phase to the tone and caused a substan-
tlal rally. particularly In pork. January
pork closed i0c. higher than Saturday,
January lard 2isc. higher. and January
rIhs 10 higher
