Wheat and Corn Go Shade Under Friday g
Close,
POOR OUTSIDE DEMAND FOR WHEAT
Encouraging Hint of Better Export
Demand Gives View York Enrly Up
ward Tendency, but the
Market Sings Again.

| CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Wheat was steady
early, but weakened on "a poor demand
| from outside, closing 19G@sc under yester-
day Corn, influenced by the wheat mar
| ket closed a shade under. oats closed a
shade higher and provisions 5dIisc up, the
latter supported by a good demand and a
| light hog supply
At the opening today Liverpool was less
| influenced than expected by yesterdays
stump in the local pit and there was II
| general disposition to even UP over sunday.
| Consequently May wheat began the day
| fairly steady shade lower at 6S7sd69c and
| advanced to 69i4c New York early showed
an upward tendency, an encouraging hint
| of better export demand This, however
| failed to materalize An increase Of local
stocks of about O00OO bu was predicted
and considerable long wheat was let out
all of which was deprs ssing., The market
sagged to 6ShM6Sssc and closed 1aq3sc lower
for May at 6SasqSSigC The volume of ousi-
ness was small. New York reported %
loads taken for export. Local receipts were
and Duluth reported SSl cars, against ]. 432
cars last year. Primary receipts were go
900 bu., compared with 900 bu a year
ago. Clearances from the seabcard in
wheat and flour were equal to 32l0O0 bu.
Corn was steady early, sympathi2ing with
wheat weakening later wit that cereal
and on liberal receipts. The demand was
poor and local longs were free sellers.
Primary points received 337. 100 bu., against
55l 500 bu. last year; local receipts were 629
cars Stocks here are expected to decrease
about 100000 bu. May ranged from &2lsc to
32ssd321zc, closing a shade down at 32iS9
32Ac
oats was firm early and, closed steady
Trade was dull and featureless and fiuctu-
ations narrow Little change in local stocks
is predicted. Clearances were only 1900 bu
Local receipts were 3O5 cars. The ship
ping demand was, poor. May sold from
2SSc to 237sM24c. closing a shade over yes
terday at 2334 d237sc.
Provisions held firm. December ribs 1t
one time were up 10c, fact due to small
stocks. Deliveries were about as expected.
The strength was due principally to a
light hog supply and a good outside de
mand. Shipments for the week were lib
eral though under last years. The worlds
lard stock showed IA decrease of 63,O00
tierces for November. May pork ranged
from S957Ia to $9.65 and closed sc up at $9.65;
May lard from s5.S21s to $5.3712a5;4o, clos
ing 5G712c higher at $5.3l12, and May ribs
from $5l2h to $5.17I2 and closed &c better
at S515.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat, 100
cars; corn $40 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs,
$1,000 head.

fact the top was sc higher than yesterday
The most of the hogs sold early, but a
little later, when Chicago reported weak
close, the market at this point eased off
and closed weak, Sellers all wanted the
early prices, so that the close was rather
slow.
The hog market this week has been in
pretty fair shape, though there was u
Ing the first three days. on Thursday the
market changed and from that day, until
the close the tendency was upward. At
the close of the week the market is not
far from where it was at the opening of
the week. The demand has been good all
the week. A glance at the table of average

tie here, but not enough were on sale to
make a test of the market and about all
that can be said of 1t is to quote it as
nominally steady. 1t was just such mar
ket as is usual on the last day of the week
AS already noted in these, columns the
tendency of the cattle market this week
has been upward. Beef steers have been
in good demand and it is safe to say that
the market on that kind of cattle is all of
25c higher. The market ca cows and
heifers has also been good and values have
gradually strengthened until the market at
the close of the week is fully l5d20c higher
than a week ago. '
Stockers and feeders have been in mod
crate supply all the week, while at the
same time there has been a good demand
so that the market has been gradually ad-
vanced. Values each day have been firm
and prices are 10015c higher than last week
