made the trade more cautious. The market held
quiet and firm, but after the early strength
showed no decided tendency either way. At the
close Liverpool Is I'd higher Owing to
the poor wire service the figures for worlds
shipments were missing, were the other regu-
lar Monday morning statistics that traders al
ways watch for with great interest. Chicago
had a stronger turn along toward noon and re-
ported the strength in December there due to
the buying Of large northwestern house. The
same advices said the visible would probably
show an increase of fully 1000, 900 bu less than
the general tone there was quiet.
That many Of the big Chicago traders are bulls
is evidenced by the messages sent out Swing
house wired this morning that the risk incurred
in buying wheat corn is very generally con-
pro nf So
enough to advance prices little to-day. We
have felt that with navigation closed some liqui-
bullish features, would get decline
of "a &c in both wheat and corn. and as the
markets do not weaken the question comes:
VIII they do SO I think at the moment they
act fully as much like working higher.
Another house wired that despite the closing of
navigation and the advance In rail rates, the May
difference is narrowing and there must be an i'm
portant shortage in December. Private cables
report Argentine weather unfavorable. The
official reduction of 10, 900 blu in Manitoba
crops Is factor. The visible will not increase
heavily expected.
A little later the visible figures came along,
showing an increase of S5S.O00 bu.
In the cash market an excellent demand ruled
for the top grades at May price for the No 1
northern and nc under for No. 2 northern. The
No. 3 and the lower grades were less active and
dragged a little at times, although the cash
demand on the whole good Demand for
wheat to arrive active and there
trades in number of lots Oh that basis.
The market closed firm, December at 72A q
