Chicago, Dec. 6.-The short interest ere
ated IN wheat recently was evidently a
large one and at the present time il is
not in very complacent mood. To-day's
market owes quite a respectable gain in
prices to the uncomfortable feeling dis
played by this class of traders. The SEN
tlment early was rather undecided. The
lear OF something in the nature of a
European complication tended to deter
selling, whilst bull news being scarce
buyers We're correspondingly backward
Although prices opened firm it took only
moderate offerings to cause them to re-
cede. After noon the movement in an
opposite direction set in and at the close
the feeling was strong at the outside
quotations of the day May wheat opened
from 611s to 6144c, sold between 6024c and
6lBc-closing at the outside, nc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat in the sample
department was firm and 12c higher
Corn-ln obedience to the influence ex-
erted by wheat, corn declined in the
morning and advanced in the afternoon
The opening trading was at firm prices,
but the lack of bull ardor and the down
ward trend of wheat soon gave the mar
ket different phase. The rally before
the close was purely a matter of SYM
pathy. May corn opened from 29c to 29Ihc
sold between SBQ29c and 29hQ29Ac,
closing, at the outside, 1sGAc higher than
yesterday. Cash corn was active.
Oats-Bus1ness was light in oats. The
feeling was irregular. Opening trades
We're at steady prices, but an easier tone
process set in and at the close the best
variations in wheat and corn furnished
the inspiration to oats. May oats closed
sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats
were firm.
ProVisions-The buying of product by
several packing concerns at and around
the opening was the noticeable incident
of the day in provisions. When it eased
the vim, If the moderate activity was
possessed Of any, disappeared, the balance
of the session dragging, with prices
changing but little At the close May
pork was 2l5c lower and May lard and
ribs each a shade lower than yesterday.
