BIG EXPORT DEMAND SENDS WHEAT UP
May Sales Affect Corn, Light offerings
Increase Dat values and strong
Demand Helps Provisions
to Mount.

CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-Higher prices pre-
vailed on the Board of Trade today, May
wheat closing 1d1hc higher, May corn was
up &c and oats NC better. January pro-
visions closed firm 171kd6Oc higher.
Wheat ruled active and strong, the big
export demand being the principal bull
factor. although outside markets were firm,
cables strong, receipts small and, In fact,
all statistics were favorable to the bulls.
Commission houses sold freely early I'm the
day, but the offerings were easily taken up
and after a temporary decline the market
cember was Nc under the best figure. The
sentiment In the pit was extremely bullish
and many shorts were compelled to cover,
thus narrowing the spread between Decem-
Der and May, which at one time was under
&c. May opened unchanged to baAc higher
at 75hd76c to 761bc, and there was a steady
advance throughout the day. the close be
ing at the top at &c, with a gain OF 1q11sc.
showed an increase OF Il, 500, 900 bushels, COM
pared with an increase the corresponding
time last year Of 1922, 900. C~learances OF
wheat and flour equalled S07,0oO bushels.
against 1yo11,OOO a year ago, Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts of $50 cars,
contract-made total receipts for the three
points of 6l3 cars, against 1,103 cars last
week and l,Oe4 a year ago.
Inc feature OF the corn market was the
heavy buying OF May by a prominent local
operator, who also has a large long line in
wheat. Offerings we're light, and as a re-
aspect for that delivery. December was
rather quiet and about steady. 1t was es-
timated that in the neighborhood of $780,
COZ bushels were taken by this one house.
Higher cables were a bull influence, but
the weather was a ounter-balancin fea-
ture, being favorable for the movement
and grading. The close was strong, May
being up %c at H%c, after selling between
43Ac and H%c. Local receipts were 1856 cars,
with z of contract grade.
oats were fairly active, with prices show
ing a bullish tendency, along with the
strength In other grains. Commission
houses were good buyers and there was
also considerable covering by shorts. Offer
ings were rather light throughout the day
and the close was strong with May sc
higher at S3%c, after ranging between 327sc
q33c and Sbc. Local receipts were 1870 cars.
An exceedingly strong demand for pro-
visions was manifested and in the absence
of any material offerings prices started On
a steady march toward higher prices. pork
being especially strong. The strength In
grains was also a supporting feature. The
close was strong and at much higher prices,
January pork closing with a gain of 60c at
Sl6.so, after selling between $l6. 32h and SIT.
January lard closed 17Rc higher at 50. IS
ard ribs were up 171k620c at 1855.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Volume of Business Again Decreases
and Price, Fnn nnce More.

NEW YORK. Dec. e.-Today's ~transac-
tons IN stocks were smaller than those Of
yesterday. only a few got as much as a
point away from last nights close at any
time during the day. There was a slight
advance IN the morning in sympathy with
special movements in one or two stocks,
but a reaction in the afternoon carried the
level OF prices below last night all around
ana the market closed easy, put dull. Quite
an active speculation in sugar was the
principal influence in saving the days deal
lngs IRON actual stagnation. The move
ment was accounted Tor by the announce
ment during the day OF an advance in
prices of renned sugars. After tins an
nCuncement the stock reacted. The en-
phattC disclaimers of recent rumors of a
compromise among the warning copper fac
copper market today combined to cause a
reaction in Amalgamated. The action of
these stocks had a sympathetic effect on
the whole market, owing to the ~preponder-
ance of the dealing in them. IN the late
afternoon Louisville Il Nashville was con-
spicuOus for a drop of III below last night.
Today 6 developments in the money market
offered no prospect of monetary RELIEF and
until the prospect appears no revival IN
took from the money market H,4lS,OW,
bringing its total absorption since the last
treasury also had a credit at the clearing
mouse this morning indicating a continued
drain from the money market Late In the
day rumors were current, without conhr-
nation, of a further hipment of gold to be
made to South America. Today's sterling
exchange market here was firm In spite OF
additional offerings of loan pills and an
other days large foreign demand, both for
wheat and cotton, but the sterling rate at
Paris reacted 1Ha centimes, thus raising. the
gold export level of sterling The call loan
market was not quite so stin, owing partly
to the almost total lack of demand, but
sixty and ninety-day loans were made at
per cent and for four months both Z and 8
per cent were paid. Holders or stocks are
very 10th to market securities, owing to
the poor absorplive power Of the market
on the other hand, there is little INCENTIVE
to pay about 8 per cent for money to hold
railroad stocks at prices which yield gem
