Chicago, November 19.-Pronounced
strength in corn to-day and heavy eX-
port business at the seabOard rescued
a dropping wheat market. December
wheat closed M0Bc higher and May
advanced 1sc. Corn rose 12c. Cats
left off &c up. Pork and ribs advanc-
ed 712c each and lard 212c.
Heavy receipts in the northwest and
easier cables from Liverpool started
wheat a shade lower. Corn developed
considerable strength, however, and
enough of that feeling was reflected in
the wheat pit to Offset the easy feeling
at the opening. Bradstreets reported
clearances of wheat and flour for the
week from both coasts at 5,619,0GO
bushels and BeerbOhms placed the to-
tai shipments of the week from all
quarters to Europe at 100000 which
left 2,721000 bushels from all sources
outside of shipments from this side.
That helped to some extent in produc-
ing the bullishness that so quickly fol-
lowed the easy feeling at the opening.
Chicago receipts were 223 cars against
1873 last year Minneapolis and Duluth
reported / 1876 cars as compared with
1929 a week ago and 972 the cores
bonding day OF the year before. Phi
mary western market receipts for the
day aggregated ,533 900 bushels COM
pared with 100000 bushels a year ago.
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
flour for "a hours were equal to 703,-
900 bu~hels. Reports from the sea-
board about foreign demand were con-
Trajectory, some claiming good inquiry
from both continent and United king
dom while others reported cablegrams
from all sources dull and no buying or
ders In the end, however, New York
reported 60 bOatloads disposed of there
for export That scared the December
shorts into covering and closing quo
tatiOns, e67sc was at the top OF the
days range May dragged slowly Ov-
er a range beginning at CO.'S and clos
ing at 660661bc sellers.
Higher cables and moderate receipts,
236 cars, gave corn a strong start. An
excellent cash demand together with
small interior movement served to
stimulate bull sentiment and the mar
ket very soon developed so ouch ad-
ditional upward tendency that it took
the lead in speculative activity. Seal
pers from the wheat pit took an active
part in the trade and the competition
that ensued held prices strong from
beginning to end. New York reported
sc loads taken for EXPORT at the sea-
board Nav started unchanged st
33hc and advanced to 34Mc, the clos
ing price.
A good cash demand and the adj
vance in corn strengthened oats.
Shorts were forced to cover and some
Of the most prominent longs added To

this had little effect and prices left &c
