Chicago, November 29.-Wheat to-

course closed heavy and &c under yes
terday's final figure. 1t was case of
enormous receipts against splendid
demand, and the receipts finally tri-
umphed. Corn and oats are unchang-
ed. Provisions closed little higher.

last week and 1,043 a year ago. That
gave the market the easy opening Re-
ports that heavy snow storm pre-
vailed in the Dakotas, suggesting con-
sequent decrease in receipts, was ap-
parently the reason for brief adj
vance, December selling to $3.50 and
May to $3.50 shortly after the opening.
Then followed period of depression
which lasted until about II o'clock.
Reports from the Argentine crop, the
condition of which has been exciting
much interest, were conflicting, one
report claiming much damage from
locuSts and froSts and another report
saying the eXportable surplus would
be large in spite of any damage. But
this report gave the eXpOrtable sur
plus at about 100000 bushels, which
is considerably below previous esti-
mates and therefore the Argentine
news had supporting influence if
anything. Bradstreets reported the
worlds visible increase at 3,S0S, 900
bushels, about as was expected. There
was still more or less nervousness
shown by December longs and liqui-
dation from that source though not so
heavy by any means as of late, was
nevertheless feature of the morning
decline. Before the pressure had been
removed December had been forced
down to 651ac and May to CSC. After
IL o'clock the market became firm.
Clearances were put at 966, 900 BUSH
els, and forty loads were reported sold
for export. Strength in corn also help
ed to create the demand which finally
sent May up to 66hc and December to
663s @66Bc. But primary receipts
were very heavy, 1922 900 bushels, and
this announcement again brought be-
fore traders the fact that farmers were
apparently unanimous in desire to
sell. The demand gradually fell off
and during the last thirty minutes
trading the market was quite weak.
December finally declined to 6o5sc and
closed at 65Ac. May declined to and
closed at 65B@66c.
Corn, though having periods of de-
preston, was in the main firm. The
demand for December was a feature
Receipts were moderate, Ats cars, and
cables were steady. Soft weather west
was a bull influence. Shipping houses
reported fewer offers from the west.
Seaboard sales amounted to II loads.

ers. Prices advanced during the morn
ing but the advantage was lost when
wheat weakened May ranged from
34A @34Ssc to 34%c and closed I'M

Oats followed corn very closely.
There was only fair business trans

crate sellers. Cash and export de-
mands were reported good and reports
OF receipts were moderate. 314 cars.
May ranged from 261ac to 26Ac, and
closed unchanged at 26%c.
Provisions were dull but firm in the
face of heavy receipts of hogs. Room
traders as a rule were bullish. Shorts

ness to cover, and there was also some
buying for the long account. Packers
were moderate sellers. There was
some depression near the end on ac-
count of the declines in grain. At the
close January pork was sc higher at
$9.07R; January lard 21ac higher at
$4.971a, and January ribs 21ac higher at
$4.57R.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
