steer offerings were common. In the
stock cattle alleys prices were firm and

CHICAGO, Dec. 12-Wheat opened
steady today on prospects of a freeze,
but weakened on the heavy increase in
the worlds visible, May closing Ac under
yesterday. May corn closed a shade up
and May oats unchanged. Provisions We're
strengthened by a hog movement lighter
than expected, small offerings and good
outside demand, May pork closing 15c
over yesterday, May lard and ribs each
up sc.
May wheat opened &c up at 69A@694oc,
all because some shorts saw prospects Of
damage in the cold snap following the
recent mild weather. This advantage was
lost on profit taking and selling against
calls For some time the market held
fairly well at the decline, shorts doing a
bit of covering and scalpers buying
against puts. The report of a heavy in
crease in the worlds visible, coming wren
it had been expected there would be little
change in the figures, turned the tide
against the price and May fell to 682c.
Some of this was recovered on buying
against privileges but the close was easy,
May 1s@14c lower at G9c.
New York reported no wheat taken for
export. Allan ic ort clearances equal d
2SS,G00 bushels. Local receipts were "a
cars, p of contract grade, most Of it
coming from p tvate hOUs.s M nne3poH 5
and Duluth reported G32 cars, AGAINST
1929 last week and S64 a year ago Pri-
mary receipts were 527 COZ bushels, COM
pared wiz 1,175,0G0 bushes last year
Corn early was easy and very DUH bat
the CLOSE was firm. A trifle was nipped
off the price shortly after the opening,
but this was recovered. The steadiness
was due principally to the small country
offerings and the unwillingness of local
holders to let go. The weather, too, has
not turned enough to premise immed ate
encouragement to the NOV ment r.
ceipts, SIC cars. May ranged from S2Ac
TO 32S4c, closing 4 shade up at $3.50.
Oats market held teaiy but In a very
dull and listiess way, the range being only
3sc. Bad weather for movement was a
support. Receipts, sos cars. May sold
from 2375c to 24c, closing unchanged at
24c
Provisions were firm, pork especially
so. The opening was at a gain, and this
as the session progress sed, with some ami
nation at times, was added to in way
very encouraging to holders. Some deal
ers saw a little mystery in the streng h.
believing support more potent than the
light movement, good shipping demand
and small offerings were at the bottom
of the market At the close the May OPP
ton stood: Pork, $1022I3; lard, IS. 60; ribs,
S5.421a.
Estimates tomorrow: Wheat, so cars; ;
corn, 225; oats, 1870; hogs, $1,000 head
