Chicago, December 3.-The early
wheat market was strong and bull
traders were much encouraged by the
action abroad Liverpool opened at
decline of 1s05sd, but by 1870 p. m.
showed a net advance Of M0$sd over
last nights close. This action was
considered rather remarkable, in view
of the break here yesterday. Local
shorts were inclined to cover and
houses with foreign connections were
moderate buyers. Statistical news was
bearish. ThOman's crop report esu-
mated 275,000,000 bushels of wheat yet
in farmers hands, and made the area
II per cent. larger than last year.
1t also made the exportable surplus
up to next July 115,000,000 bushels.
The latest estimate on the worlds
wheat crop made it 100000 bushels
less than last year. Paris was up . TO
40 confines. but later cables from
Liverpool were weaker; at g. 30 p. m.
advices from that market showed a
net Il decline from yesterdays closing
figures. This and the extreme weak
ness which was being displayed by
corn caused some selling of May and
a gradual decline took place. Deem
Der was strongly maintained. but the
clique brokers bought everything in
sight. May opened ~ higher at 901sc
split. 1t sold at 90A@$sc, and then
declined to $3.50. December opened
sc higher at $3.50, advanced to 96c,
and then declined nc. Afternoon
trade became limited and the market
moved narrowly. prices of the May op-
ton advancing to S91sc by one O'Clock.
The close was shade firmer at $3.50
asked.
