The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-10-24


cHIcAGo-Corn was the leader on
Change to-day and furnished the prin-
clpal foundation for the strength de-
veloped in the other markets, Disap-
pointing husking returns and another
decrease in stocks gave corn traders an
opportunity to give vent to n feeling
that had been struggling for expression
for some time and the December opilon
closed with gain Of &c. There was q
general buying movement IN wheat
with shorts the principal participants
and December closed with an advance
of A0Ilc. Oats rose hGhC, and proVls-
ions from 2h610c.
Wheat opened strong and active.
Complaints OF damage by drouth In the
southwest and higher Liverpool cables,
notwithstanding the downward ten
dency Of the market here for the last
week caused the change in sentiment.
Buying was heavy from the outset and
as offerings were scarce the market
soon got above call figures. Profit tak-
ing and selling by holders Of privileges
caused n slight reaction after &c had
been added to the opening advance, but
as corn had begun 10 show decided
strength shorts became anxious and
ran to cover. Outside buying fastened
the upturn that followed and the price
tended upward the remainder OF the
session, the market closing strong nj
the best price Of the day. a smaller lu-
crease in the visible supply thnn e%-
pected. and much liberal clearances
helped 10 maintain the advance. De-
cember opened shade higher at G9BN
zoe: advanced to 70hd7O1kc; sold off to
7Ohc, and advanced to 7OA@IO7sc at the
close.
Chicago received 300 cars, nine Of
which were Of graded contract. Mime
apolls md Duluth got 1921 cars. COM

1,3S40OO bushels. against 2,OOS,O00 BUSH

els. Worlds shipments to Europe last
week were 5000, 600 bushels, The visible
supply Increased only 1,24l,00O bushels,
whereas an Increase Of over 100000
bushels had been expected. Cash de-
mand here was slow, as we'll MS ut the
seaboDrd, whore only twenty boatlonds
were reported sold for export.
Corn started strong and kept I'M
proving little right along until within
half nm hour from the close when profit
taking checked the advance. Reports
Of poor yields and large decrease In
stocks coupled with the heavy current
requirements of both foreign and do
nestle consumption was the basis nf
the markets strength. The buying was
well distributed with the market
broad one. Receipts $50 cars. Domestic
visible decreased $4,000 bushels Cash

Nc higher Mt 30% G9OAc Ia 50TSc; sold
