chicago, november Zine onOf-
nous qu-ntity OF wheat taken to-day
for export made prices for that cereal
strong at the close. December wheat
finished 34c higher. Corn advanced
1sc. Oats are a shade higher. Pork
rose 15c. Lard rose l0Q1212c and ribs
5@712c higher.
Rumored complications between
England and Russia gave wheat firm
start. The opening advance was add
ed to by heavy foreign acceptances,
New York early in the session report
ing so boat loads accepted on last
nights cabled offerings to the other
side and a Chicago house also had Is
boat loads accepted direct. English
cOnsols were as per cent. lower to
start with and the Northwestern re-
ceipts were somewhat lighter than the
recent average. The seaboard clear
ances were not extraordinarily heavy,
however, while the aggregate of west
ern primary market receipts were
enormous, amounting to 1,5S5,OOO
bushels against 1,123,000 bushels. the
corresponding day of last year. In
addition to this the early drop in Brit
ish consols was fully recovered, about
the middle of the session. That was
too much for the bulls enthusiasm
and the market dropped back to the
opening price before it took another
upward flight. Chicago received 301
cars compared with 125 the CORES
ponding day of last year, while Mimi
eapolis and Duluth reported S66 cars
received against S1S year ago.

The amount of the New York export
business was much in dispute, but
that it, was heavy was generally be-
lieved. The market here became very
strong and closed within a fraction Of
the high point OF the day. December
opened a shade higher at 66$a 06612c;
sold at 66A 0663sc; rose to 6612c; re-
acted to 661sc, then advanced quickly
to 67Hc and closed at 671sc buyers.
Lower cables and the expectation of
increased receipts on account OF the
improved weather weakened corn at
the start. A great deal OF long corn
was sold and for time the course OF
the market was downward. In the
last hour of the session that tendency
changed with wheat and in the end
became strongly upward on heavy
buying by shorts. Receipts were 1862
cars. December started 1s0Ac lower
at 32032Bc; declined to 317sc; then
advanced to 32$sc sellers, the closing
figure.
Oats relied upon corn for their
strength. The sellers of yesterday
changed their views and bought back
what they had disposed of. Receipts
were 203 cars. May began a shade
lower at 24M 0247sc; declined to 2412
02456c; advanced to 247s025c, then
reacted to 245s 024$4c at the close.
The unexpectedly heavy decrease in
stocks Of lard during October caused
an improvement in provisions. The
reduction in stocks was $4,000 tierces
and it was said that the worlds stocks
had been reduced $4,000 tierces. The
English houses opposed the advance in
prices ard sold heavily of lard. jan
uary pork opened unchanged to SC
higher at So COOS 95 and advanced to
50 05, the closing figure. January
lard started unchanged to sc higher
at 81 S71a04 80 and sold up to S. 90
at the close January ribs began 2@
csc up at 81 621a, sold at 81 60G4 g.,
rose to 81 6504 671a and closed at
