Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-At the outset nearly
every bit of news favored upturn in wheat.
Cables were frmer. receipts both local and
Northwestern were very small and promised
to be smaller because of hard ralroading dur
ing the cold weather. and many shorts were
buying. The trade not large, but the gen
eral tone was one of buoyancy at the opening
May started a shade to Hc up at SOC to SO1s O
S0Ac and rapidly advanced to S0%c. When
the wheat bought early began to come out for
profits there also developed several bearish
factors that at once sent prices backward.
The seaboard reported export sales and even
indicated that foreigners were reselling there
The report Of disturbed state of affairs in
the MiLnea polls flour market and the conse-
quent reselling of -four there by millers also
troubled bulls Outsiders were doing practi
cally no buying and the holiday dullness pre-
vailed against the early advance. May wheat
started on the slide. downward and touched

opening. When wheat, began to slump corn

ment OF all the late unsettling influences in the
copper situation. The lowering of prices by the
dominant powers in the trade Is believed to
have cut off the margin Of profit on production
shadowing a decline In production. The bear
contingent in these securities was also appre-
hensive that the bottom point had been reached,
as ii is obviously bound to do at some time
after its extensive decline. The possibility that
all the bad news was out added to the urgency
of the demand from the shorts. Amalgamated
closed at the top price. 3 points above last
night and points above the low record price.
Further selling of Standard Oil in the outside
market at as low $50 attributed to
sympathy with the weakness in Amalgamated
Copper The general market showed a dispo-
sition to ignore the early weakness in Amalga
mated Copper. The motive for the underlying
strength in the market was the easier tone in
the money market, call loans ruling for the
most part at per cent. Fears of further gold
exports subsiding and confidence is growing
that the period until the rehuX of funds into
the channels of the money market will be
safely tided over. The transcontinental and
grain carrying roads. especially st. Paul and
Union Pacific, were effective leaders In the ad-
vance. The announcement of the cut in cop
per, while il drove the shorts to cover in that
stock and rallied Ii effectively, caused a sharp
reaction in the general market. The bears
centered their attack on Manhattan, forcing
it 31a under the best. The high-prced coalers
and number Of specialties, especially the
Cotton Oil stocks Western Union Pacific Mail
Colorado Fuel and the distiling stocks showed
notable strength. The buoyancy finally devel-
oped in Amalgamated Copper rallied the gen.
eral market and caused a firm closing.
