Chicago. Nov. 27.-Cables opened 12d
any strength to our market, but enough
! to make US weaker. The result was we
! opened off half a cent and ruled weak
| most of the day, closing nearly Y cent
lower than last night. Northwest receipts
were 92l cars, against 40 the same day
last year. Clearances were so, 900 bushels.
The December option was strong and
weak at intervals, but closed PIC below yes
terdey's high point. The general situation
remains bull.sh so fas as the gossip is
! concerned, but the high price is against
/ an advance for the present. We look for
! a weaker market and advise those who feel
bullish to buy only on the weak points,
and fel that those who feel bearish can
! sell with perfect confidence on the strong
| places. New York reported good buying
| and foreigners were reported as heavy buy
ers. Yesterdays advance IN December
was supposed to have been brought about
by St Louis orders emanat;ng from kauff-
man, and was not therefore a part Of the
bull scheme to advance the market. 1t
/ was thought today that the clique bro
kers were rendering some support to the
/ May option. Broomhall wires that Beer
BONN now admits the Russian deficiency
/ to be about 6i, 100000 bushels Of wheat. 1t
| may not be policy to get too bearish on
/ this wheat, as the situation ultimately war
rants much higher prices. Corn did not
! sympathiZe with the break in wheat, los;n &
only 1sc. Cash demand continues fairly
/ good. This cereal is worth the money and
! should be bought on the weak places. Pro-
! visions were unchanged. They should be
| bought on the weak spots.

WEEKLY WHEAT REVIEW.
Chicago, Nov. N.-The past week has
been very slow one in the wheat market,
which most of the time presented de-
cidedly holiday appearance. So stagnant,
indeed, was trading at times that scat
tered scalping operations and little buy
| ing and selling by the December bull
crowded constituted almost the entire bus
iness. Since Monday the trend of the mar
ket has been upward, and closing purices
yesterday in May, the leading future, show
ed an advance of 214d22s cents. In this
the strength displayed by Liverpool played
no small part. Interest In the December
deal is growing as the end of the month
approaches, and shorts are evidently get
ting very anxious at the Increasing diff
Guilty to cover. The opinion that December
is cornered was strengthened by the spas
modic action of the market for that op-
ton yesterday, when the price was jump
ed TO a dollar before it was possible to
purchase any. There was a marked mar
+, rowing of n spread between December
and May early in the week This was due
to the enormous receipts at the two north
west receiving points on that day, which
started quite heavy selling OF December.
But in the struggle to cover December
yesterday, May and December were SELL
ing at one time at 7 cents difference The
range for May has been S95sd9S12. selling
at the low point on Monday, while the
high figures were reached yesterday. De-
cember has ranged from 81 cents to 81
