Chicago Grain Market.

L CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Lower cables had an
early depressing effect wheat but this was
soon overcome when 1t found that hardly
any offerings were coming. and those only
from few shorts. December opened a shade
lower to shade higher at 71%@72c, but felt
the effects of buying orders with the commits
sion houses and the strong tone in the corn
pit and began its upward journey. All during
the session trade was nervous and active and
on q broader scale than that OF either yester-
day or the. day before. News favored buyers,
with the exce.tion of the early cables Cash
prices strong and December sold up to
72Nc. closing strong at &c higher than yes
terday.
Last seasons corn crop failure is beginning
who sold short yesterday hurried to cover to-
day. December corn closed firm. kQssc higher,
at 5SAc.s

uation was particularly strong. December
closed strong. 1Hc higher, at 3S%c.
