Wheat was considerably more active

helped prices and December opened
kassm TO 2aJsc higher at 70ssc TO
707sc. Bulls took comfort in reports
that the Russian crop was falling on
and that the movement In the north
west was hampered by wet weather.
There was an appreciate decrease In
the amount OF 'breadstuffs on passage.
| likewise in worlds shipments. Pri-
mary receipts were somewhat decreas-
ed and there was small improve
ment In exports. These all gave
strength to wheat, but on the early rise
holders of long corn and oats began
to unload all the market would stand
and thus bereft wheat of some OF the
buoyant feeling. and December sold off
to 70ssc. When this pressure was re-
moved, natural elasticity brought De-
cember back to 70ka7lc. Profit taxi
ing at the end OF the session eased
prices and December closed nrm &ahc
advance at 70lae. Local receipts
were 145 cars, two OF contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported S55
cars, making total for the three
points Of / 900 cars, against 1.447 last
week and 1,437 year ago. Primary
receipts were 1,124.347 bushels, com
pared with 1,7S3,000 year ago. The
decrease in the quantity on passage
was 100000 bushels. The worlds
visible supply increased 7S4.000 bush
els. Worlds shipments were 1872, 900
bushels, against last weeks 1914, 900
bushels. Seaboard clearances In wheat
and hour equalled $4,000 bushels. The
seaboard reported 80 loads taken for
export.
Corn ruled steady with scarcely
anything beyond a local pit interest.
There was an inclination to follow the
wheat market, but there were no indie
pendent factors TO effect the situation.
December opened &c to %c higher on
! stronger cables. but at once sagged
under the pressure OF considerable un-
loading of heavy holders. The cash
demand was slow and December
ranged between $3.50 and 56Ac, clos
ing steady and unchanged at 55Hc.
Receipts were 271 cars.
Oats were moderately active, espe-
cially for the May account. Heavy To-
cal traders began to unload when
there was an upward tendency in
other grains with seeming intent to
press May under &c. On the slump,
numerous commission house orders
steadied the market and there was a
small reaction ON coverings toward
the close. December opened unchang-
ed and ranged between 34Nc and 35Ac,
and closed steady and shade lower at
35Ma35Nc. Receipts were $50 cars.
Provisions started out with a COM
Portable advance due to a firmer hog
market. but met with more of that
general liquidation that depressed
prices week ago. Trade. however,
was comparatively narrow and local.
January pork sold between 1890 and
81 05a15.07h, and closed 15c lower at
$15.07H; January lard closed TIC
down at $500, and January ribs TIA
10c depressed at $7.S7h.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 215 cars; corn, 215 cars; oats,
270 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
