Closing.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Strength in the
coarse grains helped all markets today,
and December wheat closed Ac higher,
December corn 1c up and December oats
IL advanced. Provisions closed PIC to
17lbc higher.
Trading in the corn pit was the heav-
lest in a week, Notwithstanding it was
Saturday Continued rains in the West
retarded the crop movement. Cables
We're somewhat improved and offerings
We're light Added to this, several promf-
nent professionals began to bull this &C.
real. December opened 1s@14c higher at
603s@60Ac, largely on the cables. The
demand all round was good. both for sam
pies and options. st. Louis. Peoria and
Kansas City were all buyers OF futures,
and New England placed orders here
the first for a long time. These bullish
influences forced a good many shorts to
cover and December advanced steadily to
a strong close, cent higher, at size.
Receipts We're 146 cars.
Wheat trading was dull and narrow
December opened a shade to 1s@14c high,
er at 721sQl2Ac on better cables than
had been expected, but fiuctuated be-
tween these two prices until just before
the close. Receipts Were liberal, par
ticularly in the Northwest. Late reports
stated that tne rains in the Southwest
had not brought relief from the drought.
But clearanceS We're slight and the prob
ability of large worlds shipments to be
reported Monday steadied the market.
The corn bulge, as much as anything,
perhaps, brought the slight advance. To-
ward the end of the session covering by
shorts brought a slight advance, and De-
cember closed firm, 14c higher at 721z@
1880. Local receipts were SO cars, maxi
ing total for the three points of 9S7
cars against last weeks 913 and GAO a
year ago. Primary receipts We're 1,01S,0 00
blu, compared with 666,000 bu last year.
Seaboard clearanceS in wheat and flour
equaled $500 bu.
Bullish activity developed early in the
oats pit. The cash demand was very
strong and the spectators could secure
none until prices went up L cent The
bulge in corn also helped the situation, as
did also the strength of outside markets.
December opened unchanged at 41c, and
it looked at first as though there was
nothing to he had. There was a good
deal of in and out trading by commission
people and general covering by shorts,
which indicated a market much more
oversold than was formerly thought.
December quickly advanced under these
influences and with hardly a setback
closed strong, 112c higher at 4212c. Re-
ceiptS were 219 cars.
Provisions We're dull WITH an early
sipated soon by fair demand by shorts
and the grain bulges. The hog run
was large and estimates indicate con-
tinued increases. January pork closed
171sc higher a S15.45; January lard 215c up
at $3.50, and January ribs 71zc higher at
s7S71A.
The estimated receipts for Monday are
Wheat, 20 cars; corn. los cars; oats, $50
cars and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Analysis of Financial Movement.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23-The Financier
says: The most reliable of the estimates
far as they affect the bank statement
show that last week the banks gained
$95, 400, Notwithstanding the large gold
shipmentsSto Europe. The payments by
the subtreasury for unmatured bonds
and for new gold, the net receipts by the
banks from the interior and the receipts
of gold from Montreal together exceeded
for shipment to Europe and the excess
of receipts over payments by the sub
treasury on the regular operations Of
that Office.
The amount paid for bonds purchased
by the treasury was 81, S64, 800 and the dis
burSements for assay Office checks, rep
resenting domestic bullion and also Yu-
kon gold deposited at Pacific coast points
were $1.402.S0o, making together &c. 100.
The receipts for transfers through the
subtreasury were $4,000, hence the net
payments by that office were Sc, 137, 100.
The banks lost to the subtreasury on fis-
cal and other regular operations s., 925 200,
so that the net gain to the banks from
the subtreasury was S4,S12,5C0.
The interior movement of money re-
suited in a gain to the banks of $2,119 AGO.
and 81 100000 received from Montreal
made the total gain 1881, GOO. Gold eX-
