The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-12-15

ually easing off cent a bushel. We see
nothing to change our views on the gen
eral situation. We shall not be surprised
TO see some reaction In wheat at any time
We are confronted with the same unusual
conditions and are in the midst of very
strong bull sentiment. and bull news seems
10 be for this reason more N harmony with
the sentiment, and slight f1urries are easy.
All the big fellows have to do is to tighten
the string on the December option once In
while to make the crowd buy the May
because 1t is so much cheaper. Corn did
not sympathize with the weakness in
wheat, and barely held its own. Buy it
on the weak places. Receipts of hogs
were not large, but fairly good, and this
product rules stronger than anything on
the board. Provisions may not go up right
away, but purchases on weak places will
make money TO those who are disposed to
stay with il until the top comes. Cash de-
mand continues large
