BreAdstuns and Provisions.
CHICAGo-In anticipation OF to-
morrow's Thanksgiving holiday, the
board of trade markets were all very
quiet to-day, but fairly firm. Wheat
was helped by another good advance at
Liverpool and closed 1s@Fc higher for
May and &c higher for December, Corn
and provisions closed about where they
did yesterday and oats l-16c higher,
Wheat opened at an advance of from
Nc to &c, May being quoted at 9t&@
01hc. Strong cables and a sudden and
emphatic drop in the receipts in the
northwest encouraged the bulls and
caused moderate buying. Calls sold
yesterday afternoon at &c rel that
days closing price for May delivery, so
that, fortified by the liberal lines OF
these privileges they had bought, some
Of the heaviest local spectators be-
came free sellers every time in the
first two hours, the May price touched
within &c OF the call price, or say 9lssc.
1t reached that point on several occa-
sions In the time named and once or
twice jumped to 9l&09lkc, but reacted
TO 9ltsc, the latter throughout the fore
noon being the price al which buyers
seemed willing TO take offerings. LiY-
erpool reported great frmness in the
prices I here, but an advance of Id,
which was considerably reduced before
the close. The close showed the days
gain at Liverpool ranging from I'D for
December to I'D for later deliveries.
The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were 762 cars, against 100 the previous
week, but only AS cars were received
the corresponding day of the year be-
fore. The receipts at Chicago were 145
cars by rail and $3.50 bushels by lake.
New York reported a good continental
demand and cable aCceptances of yes
terday's offers both to continent and
United Kingdom. st. Louis received
| cable a]cceptances OF wheat and flour
offered 10 France the day before. The
| seaboard %clearances Of wheat and flour
were quite up to their recent volume,
amounting to $4,000 bushels. one
welghty bcarlsh fact vas that the re-
ceipts at western primary markets were
l.O7S,0OO bushels, compared with only
sos bushels the corresponding day or
1896.
The market was very tame and re-
qulrcd constant %prodding by the bull
crowd to make II assume an appear
ance OF being alive. Near the close II
was urged into a little activity by buy
Ing orders from the clique at 9lSc for
May, at which price there was n profit
of lkc In a large number of calls bought
Yesterday afternoon, and the selling
against these privileges prevented a
further advance. The closing price was
91& 69l%c for May.
Corn was almost without interest,
prices keeping within a hc range, The
feeling was rather easy, though final
figures showed but little change. Sell
ing Of December and replacing II with
May constituted most Of the business.
Receipts were 1923 cars. A strengthen
| Ing feature was the enormous local
shipments, $4,000 bushels. Cables were
Nd lower. May ranged from 29H@
29ssc to 299s 129iAc, and closed a shade
lower at 29lsc.
A very quiet session was passed In
oats. Scarcely any interest was taken
In the market and fluctuations kept re-
placing II with May within ]sc. There
was more selling Of December and buy
Ing Of May at lisc difference. a good
cash business was reported, 100000
