CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-A firm tone was OBJ
servable In wheat at the opening and 1T
improved as the session advanced. The
chief incentive to buy came from the fur
ther decrease in the deliveries in the north
west and though other bullish news came
In during the day, this proved the main
strengthening factor throughout For the
first time shorts In December showed real
anxiety. December opened at &c. or Y
above yesterdays close. A little selling by
the bull clique sufficed to put the price
back to 9SA, but an hour later an attempt
to buy few lots put the price up to $1.00
very quickly. The interest in the option
did not then die out. as 1t did yesterday
More buying orders came in, after a slight
reaction, which put the price to s101. Again
the bull crowd let go, but for tho rest Of
the day December showed an affection for
the dollar mark. There was good action
In the May option also, due partly to the
bidding up Of December, partly to the bull
influence Chicago receipts were 256 cars,
compared with q last year, but there are
extraordinary inducements being offered
to bring wheat here II 1t comes up to the
high requirements of the Chicago contract
quality. Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to GOA 600 bushels. Dur
ing the last hours trading May sold off to
9Oh. on realizing, and closed at 90laQ90ss.
DECEMBER closed at $1O0A.
Corn was utterly Indifferent to the ad-
vance In wheat and barely managed to
hold Its own. Outside of little trading
in May early in the day, there was almost
nothing doing.
Oats, though quiet, were firmly held by
the strength of wheat.
Provisions were weak from the start.
January pork closed TIC lower, January
lard &c lower, and January ribs 71ec lower.
