Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The wheat market
opened strong to-day and for time prices con-
tinued TO advance a good demand from
commission houses, local bills and shorts.
Reasons for the advance were various The
one most frequently mentioned at the start
was the possibility OF war between Russia and
Japan. Something Of more immediate infu-
ence, however was report from Argentina
that heavy rain was again prevailing in the
wheat districts. and that harvesting be-
ing delayed. Foreign markets showed gains
as result of these advices, and the higher
prices abroad were largely responsible for the
strength here After opening "a to 12c higher
at SBc to S4bc, May advanced steadily to
S41sc an advance of l cent from the low
point. Liberal selling by longs and some
selling set in during the last half hour on a
rumor that the big bull operator unloading
and much of the advance was lost. A firm
undertone however, prevailed at the close.
and final figures on May were at S4A@%c.
Corn was firm at the opening. due to higher
cables and light receipts. The market in
creased in strength throughout the session,
with only small offerings The close was
strong, with May at 451sc.
Oats were firm with local shorts doing con-
siderable covering. The close was strong at
37%G&c.
With hogs selling at lOc advance and grains
all acting strong. shorts in provisions deemed
il wise to cover. and their efforts in this di-
rection caused a strong opening. There was
good buying for investment account. and prices
ing in the way of profit taking. The close
was strong, with May pork 12Iac higher, lard
up 1ac and ribs sc higher
The leading futures ranged as follows.

Mail reports from New York say that Coast
holders of Prunes have recently turned very
firm, and are turning down Eastern bids
which they would have been very glad TO get
a week or ten days ago. Prices remain as be-
fore, however
Honey is weak and very dull with stocks
accommodating perceptbly. The tendency is TO
accept lower prices rather than miss sales
