Chicago. Dec. 5.-Every little scrap of
bull news counted in the market for
wheat to-day, and the result was a &c
gain in prices for the day, although the
close was not at the high figures of the
session. AT the top figures the profits
out before the close, prices losing some
thing by the operation. The difference be-
tween December and May narrowed to
very near cents to-day. Nav wheat
opened from 6O3s d6OIhc, sold to Sic. clos.
ing at 81, with the gain above noted. Cash
wheat was firm and 1zc higher.
Corn-The trading in corn was at a
high range of prices, though the advance
was not enough to arouse enthush SIN
or cause unusual activity. The strength
which permitted of the advance was at
tributed to Improvement in wheat and
to light receipts of corn. May corn opened
at 28%c, advanced to 291sc, closing at 29AGD
.292sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn
was firm. Prices were unchanged to Ac
higher.
Oats derived benefit from the upward
movement of the other grains. The
amount of business, whilst probably a
little better than has been noted lately,
was, however, considerably short of fair
May oats closed 1sdAc higher than yes
terday; cash oats were firm and fully 4
of a cent higher.
Provisions-Product cNsed at about the
same prices as ruled al the opening, al
though there was an advance at the in
term. The hog market was down and
provisions responded at the start The
strength of wheat was considered en-
couraging, however, and the scalpers
bought, but offerings became too great,
and at the close the feeling was scarcely
steady at a complete loss of the early
appreciation. At the close May pork was
a shade higher than yesterday. May lard
and ribs unchanged.
Leading futures ranged as follows
