CHICAGO, Illinois, December L.
Wheat-The general market OF the
past week has been dull and heavy, but
prices sagged almost constantly. The
tone of foreign markets has been rather
steady and Liverpool prices have near
ly been one cent bushel during the
week. Export demand, however, has
been small until to-day when the sea-
board reported a big business for for
eign account. Argentine advlceS have
been coming unfavorable for the past
day or two and the outlook so far is for
small worlds shipments in Monday
report Domestic milling demand is
good and shipments to interior mills
have been quite large, so that even
with the small exports is a question II
the visible supply will not show a de-
crease again on Monday. Local specu-
lative operations have been on small
scale, except in the way OF changing
decrease over the future months. More
or less liquidation by tired holders has
taken place in this process and the
pressure on the market has come from
that source 1t would seem to us that
with the unfavorable character of ad-
vices from Argentine end what present
and prospective good interior demand
at market centres for wheat, that now
the liquidation is over the the market
should do better. While a continued
fair movement in Southwest may be ex-
pected, we think the Northwest move
ment is at an end and with anything
like fair export demand stocks should
continue to decrease. These conditions,
l. Nf 70
IL sharp advance. Primary receipts for
the week are 100000 against 6,249, 900
Shipments 6,612,000 against 1906, 900
Exports for the week $500, 600 against
100000 last year Visible supply de-
creased 100000 and it is now 62,000,000
against 56,000,000 year ago The
worlds shipments 100000 10000
and the amount on passage is $4,000, 000
24,000,000 last year. Estimated cars for
Monday 100.
Corn-The tone of the market during
the early part of the week was strong
but with the settling of the November
shorts and with the collapse of prices
the last day or two, the more distant
futures have sold off. Country offerings
are quite fair only, although weak, have
been generally favorable to movement.
Shippers are still paying a premium for
the cash corn over December price and
although the November corner induced
some movement, we doubt if any mater
ial increase in stocks will result from
it. Primary receipts for the week $780,
600, 100000. Shipments 3,450,000, 2,814,-
600. The visible supply increased 276,-
600 and is now 100000 against II ,500,-
600. The amount on passage is 13,000,-
900 against 100000 year ago. Esti-
mated cars for Monday 270.
Oats-Were featureless.
Provisions are about twenty cents
lower for pork and to 71ac lower for
ribs than last week. The general tone
Of the market has been steady. Receipts
of hogs large. p7m2r6 for meats large
and demand for lard fair. Local stocks
of lard are probably increasing The
speculative support to the market has
come largely from local packing inter
ests, but these are not unanimously bull
ish Receipts of hogs primary markets
for the week 481 600 against AL 900 same
week last year.
