in the northwest more than the same day
last year. caused some buying and rally
to 90c There is nothing in the situation
TO cause any modification of our views. We
have not seen aything for some time 10
feel bullish about, and we are entering in
to the quiet month of December, which
usually gives us a dull dragging market
until after the holidays. But of course we
are confronted with conditions this season
that never before existed. Never IN the
history Of the country have the cash ar
ticle and the near futures commanded so
large a premium over the deferred for so
long time, nor have we ever noted such
taken with stronger assurances now that
the northwest receipts are going TO drop
off, makes US naturally feel less disposed
TO advise short selling.
Corn ruled weak again, and to our mind
there IS little reason for it. The price OF
corn is decidedly in fovar of its being a
purchase. Cash demand IS not large, and
we do not look for ab.g movement from
first hands. The price is against such a
government We shall not be surprised to
see it hang around herA but purchases OF
corn On weak places ought to make money.
Receipts of hogs today. while consider
ably under those Of year ago, are fairly
liberal. The product is not high. The
price. however, ruled today comparatively
firm. We are disposed to feel kindly to
the long side Of provisions, especially RIBS.
