CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. January l2.-The bulls de-
rived some benefit from to-days wheat
market, shorts covering enough property
to rally prices over cent from the INSIDE,
which latter point was touched early
There were several strong points noted,
and short selling dwindled I'm popularity.
After the opening, which was firm ana l-zc.
higher than yesterdays close, there was a
drive made at prices, the intention being
to force out more long wheat. The object
was partly achieved, but when May
reached 70 3-4c. a revulsion in feeling oc-
Cured. and from that time until the
close prices were on stronger basis. The
buIIish feature was the comparatively
strong Liverpool cables, and the resump-
ton OF the cash demand for export. May
wheat opened at from % IL 10 % S-oc.,
sold between 70 81 and 81 1-sc., and closed
az so 7-Sc.-3-fc. higher than yesterday.
Cash wheat was firm and l-2ulc. per
bushel higher
corn.-The movement In corn was slow,
and the action irregular. Narrow fluctua-
tIons took place. and they were generally
i'm reflection OF the direction shown by
wheat. May corn opened at q 5-Sc., sold
between q IL and "a 3-ic., and closed at
Tho outside-i-4c. over yesterday. Cash
corn was firm and Lie. higher
oats were moderately active and fairly
steady. May closed 1-4c. higher. Cash
oats we're firm, without appreciable
change in price.
Proyisions.--A Shade better prices were
quotable early: Hogs were UP a little,
md 10 coincide Herewith product i'm
nroved. Later packers sold freely. and
Commission also had orders on
mat side, the prospect Of heavy arrivals
Of hogs In the near future prompting the
action. May pork closed Zoe. lower.
The leading futures ranged as fohows:
