CHICAGO CAR LOTS.
Estimated

| Chicago, Dec 1.-Cables were reported
higher, but the advances were immediate
| ly lost. Today was the day that the bull
| Clique was expected to show its hand. and
If there is any such thing as bull clique
| they treatud us TO nice little game OF
surprise by opening the market on 3 cent
to begin with for December, selling quick
| ly Is of cent lower, at which point De-
| cember shrorts came in to cover. and the
1 supposed bull clique began TO buy. The
market quickly rallied nearly cents a
bushel. selling from 81 to 9674c. Under the
1 influence OF this strength IN December,
May advanced to 915s. where the hidden
| hand seemed TO lag off the wheat. There
| IS something peculiar about the wheat ST
| uaGon. Clearances have been large. For
| eign demand hiss seemed TO take the cash
stun freely at the seaboard and all sorts
| or stories are told US atOut large require
nents abroad, yet in spite Of all this bull
| talk about the probable requirements De-
| ing greatly in excess of the product, wheat
continues TO pour in from first hands al all
| accumulative POINTS at a rate almost sur
passing anything on record in the past
| The situation in corn, with the advent OF
| the new month, has probably brought US
| TO where l,quida ton is probably over. This
cereal ought TO demand and probably VII
| do better. We see nothing to make Us
feel strong on an article when the price
IS low. There is nothing of a sensational
character 10 report, however, IN corn. Pro
| under the influence of almost phenomenal
receipts of hogs. The three principal re-
ceiving points. Kansas City. Chicago and
Omaha, received today 1900 mogs. We
feel that provisions. especially ribs. should
be bought on the weak places. The big
plungers In Chicago did not show their
hand az any time today and it is still a
guess.
