west receipts were comparatively ngnC,
but the impression prevailed that this
was due to scarcity of cars and would
be succeeded by correspondingly heavy
arrivals later and for the time being
had no effect on trading. The Liver
pool firmness was reflected by an OPEN
ing advance OF Nose higher, Deem
Der starting at 73A@738se, and under
good buying, mostly by local profess
SIGNALS, further slight advance took
place, December getting to 731sc. Re-
alizing sales caused a temporary set
back, December reacting to 7SAc, but
the buying movement soon became
quite general and though no marked
advance took place, the market waa
firm to the end of the session A good
deal of attention was given to the small
receipts at Toledo, St. Louis and Kan
sas City, and they were one Of the bull
incentives of the late trading. st.
Louis also reported 100000 bushels sold
there for export. The market, rather
quiet at first, became quite active be-
fore noon and December gradually adj
vanced to 1890. There was consider
able realizing at the bulge and some
selling against calls and the price was
hammered down to 1890. But at that
point 1t was steadily maintained and
closed firm at 1880 bid. September
was seldom heard from. A few offer
ings early in the session caused de-
cline to 1890, but before the close it
had rallied to 742sc, and advance of
3sc over yesterday. Minneapolis and
Duluth receipts were 799 cars, against
721 last week and 997 cars a year ago.
Chicago receipts were 148 cars, none of
contract grade. Total primary re-
ceipts were 100000 bushels, compared
with 100000 bushels a year ago. At
lantic port clearances of wheat and
-four amounted to $4,000 bushels. A
good export business was done, New
York reporting $50 loads taken. The
selling movement was freest shortly be-
fore the close estimates of 365, 900, 900
bushels for the French crop, the larg-
est ever known, having some influence
on traders.
Corn was quite active, firm for the
more remote futures, but decidedly
weak for September. There was heavy
additions to the contract stocks out OF
the United States and elevator concerns
offered freely, the price declining
sharply under the liquidation. Early
in the session there was also consider
able December liquidation, but later
that option became stronger helped by
wheat and the immense export engage
ments, $50 loads. Receipts were 791
cars. Belief that the contract stocks
would be ample by Saturday to fill the
oh inf Nor
ranged from 29% @297sc to 303sc, and
closed unchanged at soc. September
ranged from 33c to 34Ac, and closed
11ac lower at 33c.
Oats were inactive and steady. There
was a fair demand from shorts for De-
cember and an inclination TO dispose OF
September, which resulted in a disap-
pearance of the slight September prem
ium. The December strength was en-
tirely with wheat. The demand for
foreign account was large and 100 loads
were reported engaged for export. De-
cember ranged from 22%c to 227s @23c,
and closed 1sc higher at 227sc.
Provisions, though sluggish, We're
firm. Liverpool reported an advance
and there was more outside trade. Most
of to-day's trading was confined TO
changing over from October to Janu-
airy products. At the close January
pork was 712c higher at $9.S212; Janu-
airy lard 5@71ac higher at s5.621a; and
January ribs 21ac higher at S5.1212.
