CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-There was large
and active trade in wheat today. and the
market ruled strong on covering by

abroad. The close was at the highest
point OF the day. &c higher than last
night Liverpool reported their market
as firm, I'D higher for the day, on pre-
dicted smaller shipments TO that port.
