o.
a special meeting of the British cabinet
coming simultaneously with decline in
English consols, although it was claimed
that there was no relationship between
the two, alarmed shorts" in wheat to-
day. a furry in prices taking place as a
result. The market, aside from this in
cident, was firm and at no time was there
more than the most insignificant fraction
decline from yesterday quoted. Condi-
tons did not favor the bears. Decem-
Der wheat opened from 5911c to 59ssG591sc,
sold between $3.50 and 60l6c, closing at
597sc-ss@1sc higher than yesterday. Cash
wheat was firm and 15Q%c per bushel
higher.
Corn-The sentiment in corn shows an
increase IN the bullish feeling which orig
mated with the reduction of the crop
percentage, as given by the government
Naturally the strength of wheat was of
assistance to prices to-day, and although
trading was not of an extensive charac-
ter, still there was a more tenacious at
titude displayed by holders. May corn
opened at 24Ac, advanced to 24ssd24s4c
closing at 243sc-1sc higher than yester-
day. Cash corn was 19c per bushel higher
Oats were affected with languor. Even
the boom in wheat was barren of effect,
a slow and dragging market prevailing
throughout the session. May oats closed
kc under yesterday. Cash oats were firm,
an advance of NC being quotabIe
Provisions-Not much action took place
in provisions. Due attention was ac-
corded an easy hog market; prices declin-
ing moderately during the first half hour
on that consideration. The strength of
wheat did not at first find response in
product, but as the session progressed a
gradual hardening took place. January
pork closed 5d7ikc higher than yester-
day; January lard shade higher, and
January ribs &c higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
