Breadstuffs and Provisions.

CHICAGO = Wheat was moderately
active and firm to-day, chiefly on unset
tied weather and an export demand,
December closing &c over yesterday.
Corn closed &c and oats lsc higher.
Provisions ut the close were 1OIl2Ec9

Moderate activity and considerable

ket throughout the session., gave for
moment at the start. With the weather
unsettled, cables firm and Argentine re-
ports claiming 80 per cent damage to the
crop Of that country, December opened
n shade higher at 733Sc to 1870, and
soon after touched 1880. The receipts
show continued signs OF diminishing,
and this. coupled with the Argentine ad-
vises presaginS n reduction in the ex-
portable surplus Of that territory and q
corresponding demand for the domestic
product caused covering by shorts.
Cash houses were also good buyers, and
brokers had orders to buy for the for
eign account. Cash sales were report
ed at 100000 bushels. December nd-
vanccd gradually to 74AG74Sc, and
closed firm. &c over yesterday at 74lic.
New York reported flvc boat loads ia
wheat and flour were equal to $4,000
bushels. Primary receipts aggregated
$4,000 bushels, compared with 1.ol7.W0
buahels last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported sol cars. against 563
cars last week and 1883 cars year ago.
Local receipts were 130 cars, two OF
which were contract grade.
Corn was active and In good demand,
both for spot and futures. The feature
was the advance of November the first
few minutes of the session. due 10 the
growing scarcity of old corn and the
fact that much OF the delivery Is con-
centrated In few hands. The unset
tied weather and light country offerings
were also factors. November opened
A4hc higher at 3SH Gp39c, sold to 39hc
| and closed at 39c. December sold be-
| tween 35Ac and 3693shc. and closed lie
higher at 357sc. Receipts were S32
cars.
Oats were quiet, but ruled firm In
sympathy with wheat and corn. There
was no sign OF any move to reduce long
lines. Receipts were 102 cars. De-
cember sold between &c and 22tc and
closed &c higher at 22Hc.
The whole provision list advanced
sharply. Offerings suddenly ceased.
and shorts we're anxious buyers. Light
