The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-12-11

Chicago, Dec I0-Cables this morning
were only &c higher. After all of our
have paid little or no attention to the ad-
vance in Chicago for the December op-
ton. We feel that this is rather con-
fl nation Of the views we have expressed
from day 10 day about the real situation.
Every body knows and has known for some
time that the December option was prac-
tically cornered in Chicago, and that the
marking up of the price at any time re-
Qu:red but little effort on the part Of those
who control the situation. II looked again
today as though December might go high
er, and this gave continued strength TO
the market, especially the May option. AZ
ter the opening this morning Il stiu con-
tinued causing an advance over yester-
days higA point. reaching s5,sc, but under
good selling the market eased Off, reaching
9lia. or 1ssc under the high point OF the
day. The December option acts goo deal
as though il was out OF the way, but that
a settlement has been made no one seems
to know. II lost, however, s points Of the
advance and it is hardly likely that much
more advance can be expected, for while
at least. Corn was almost featureless to-
day, wheat absorbing the attention OF the
trade. Hogs were quiet and featureless.
