WAR NEWS HELPS WHEAT
GAIN WAS LOST IN LATE SESSION
BY PROFIT-TAKING.
Heayy Northwest and Southwest Re-
ceipts Helped Cause Early Loss
Provisions Higher.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3o.-Alarming reports in regard
to the crisis in the Orient caused strength in
both grain and provisions to-day. Liberal profit
taking however. caused loss of all the gain in
the leading option in wheat. May closing pre-
cisely at the final figures of yesterday May
corn closed sc up oats &c up and provisions
121za3715c higher.
An easier feeling was manifested in the wheat
pit at the start owing to lower cables. large re-
cepts in the Northwest and Southwest and
general disposition on the part of local traders
to take profits. Considerable wheat came out the
first hour and the market became quite weak.
May declining TO Ss&c after opening hqAc
lower. at s4aS4lsc.
Later the sentiment had a decided change.
On rumors that the leading long was buying
freely many of the early sellers turned buyers
and there additional purchases to even up
over the holidays. The market became hrmer
on this demand. Sensational war rumors were
circulated and prices advanced raploiy. May
sold up TO S4%c. with little for sale on the bulge
A reaction occurred during the last half-hour on
s4i4c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to
against 100 200 bu a year ago. Minneapolis.
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 6oS cars,
against 557 cars last week and S4I cars year
CORN STRONGER
War news was the lever for bulls In the corn
pit TO boost prices on little higher. Auoitiohai
factors. however. found in the cables. small
receipts and continued light movement in the
country. The feature in trading was the selling
OF about $50. 600 bu OF May by prominent pro-
vision house. The offerings were taken by COM
mission houses. Closing prices were strong:
May opened unchanged to &c higher, at 1870
45c. sold between 44&c ard 45Sc and closed at
454c. Local receipts were 100 cars, none OF
OATS HIGHER
Oats were easier. in sympathy with wheat but
later became strong under local buying by COM
mission houses The market was affected by the
same influence that governed wheat and corn.
Closing prices were near the top, with May at
3Sq3Shc. after opening shade lower, at SI32c,
and ranging between 377sc and 3sAc. Local re-
ceipts were los cars.
GOOD DEMAND FOR PROVISIONS.
Large shipments OF lard and meat, together
with the rumors, were the incentives that
caused a good demand for provisions There
was an unusually good demand for May pork,
and that product led the list in the advance.
There fair covering by shorts and an active
demand from packers The close was strong,
with May pork showing a gain Of 35437l2c, at
s12.S2h. May lard and ribs each were 1212 up,
at Sc. 921a and s6.65.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat. 20

CHICAGO. Dec. 3O-There has been a strong
wheat market to-day. with fears of the con-
sideration. Early there some weakness on
large receipts and the speculative dizziness.

Gables were lower An Odessa cable says there
was severe frost. with snow, and said the
Black sea shipments were handicapped by Ice.

CHICAGO. Dec. 3O.-Sentiment in wheat at the
start was decidedly bearish and prices yielded.
with the active options declining sc from last
nights close. Lower cables and large North
west and Southwest receipts the influences.
On the decline there good support. After
steadying around s3%c, May was suddenly
boosted on war news. and advance OF lc fol-
lowed. There is question but what the war
outlook has assumed n serious aspect, and late
cables make it almost certainty The peculiar
feature is that this fact dose not have more
bullish effect Russia being a large exporting
country, the declaration of would de-
cidedly be big bull card. Outside Of the war
cloud the situation is bearish.
Corn and oats both showed decided improve
ment. There was good buying in corn through
commission houses and attributed TO Armour
and White. The buying In oats was led by the
Patten crowd.
