CHICAGO, October 24-Continued
activity among the bulls In the corn PIT
Influenced higher prices in grains again
to-day December corn closed nc
higher; December wheat shade lower
and December oats shade advanced.
Provisions closed unchanged to a shade
lower
Corn had the stronger and larger
market, the early strength being inn
parted by improved cables which doubt
less were following the advance here
yesterday. December opened shade
to MaAc higher at 561ec to 565sc but
an early weakness in wheat resulting
from profit taking depressed the coarser
cereal until December sold at b6Bc.
Following this sag came renewed buy
ing by the professional clique that bull
eo the market yesterday and shorts
rushed to cover. December sold up to
56Ha57c. but toward the end Of the ses-
sion profit taking eased the market 10
565sa56%c, where 1t closed firm nc
above yesterday There was some good
support from the outside which influ-
enced the buying, specially reports Of
purchases for the southwest. Receipts
were 157 cars.
Wheat had some little spurts of ac-
tivity and ruled with firm undertorc.
The outside trade was unimportant, but
improved cables and continued news of
damage to the Argentine crop brought
an advance at the opening of BaHc to
Aa%c for December at 71asc to 71Ac.
On this advance ere was reversal
of feeling among the bulls and quaint
ity of long wheat came out for profits.
This and reports OF a free movement in
the northwest brought December 10
70%c. For time every one wanted to
sell and the market became oversold.
The better feeling in the corn pit
brought quick reaction, however,
shorts covering until December touch
ed its opening price again. Commits
sion houses had good resting orders at
Tic, and longs took profits to this fig
ure. December closed steady a shade
unaer yesterdays close at Tic. Local
receipts were IS cars, one of contract
grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceived 60U cars. making the total for
the three points of 6ss cars. against
744 last week and 733 year ago. Pri-
mary receipts were 955,125 bushels.
compared with 941 900 bushels a year
ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour equalled 5000 bushels. The
seaboard reported 10 loads taken for
export.
OaJs were somewhat active and
higher early in sympathy with the
strength in other grains. There was a
fair demand from commission houses
but nothing of special importance and
the market steed dull and narrow.
Shippers and elevators were sellers.
December sold between 35asa351z and
35ssc, and closed shade higher at
351sa355sc. Receipts were 1873 cars.
Provisions we're dull and narrow with
an easier feeling pervading the pit.
Prices were better at the opening under
the influence of better prices for hogs
and there was some strength gained
from grains. but the cash demand was
slow and at the close prices were only
steady. January pork closed unchang-
ed at 1910; January lard shade low
err at $S.92h. and January ribs a shade
lower at $7.821sa7.S5.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, ITO cars; corn, 135 cars; oats,
$50 cars: hogs, $4,000 head.
