Lack of Outside News and Light
Receipts Also Help the Up
ward Movement.

Grain markets were sharply on th" up
turn in Yesterdays session. III" storm
threatened to check the movement to all
receiving points and the little statistical
news received favored the buying side.

WHEAT RISES TWO AND A HALF CENTS
BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME BLIZZARD
Corn Market Holds Firm III EX-
pcctation of Decreased
Deliveries.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Chicago. Dec. IA cold wave OF un-
usual radius was the chief cause of a
strong wheat market to-day. May de-
livery advanced .l4c and closed at the
highest point reached Corn is up 1sal4c.
Oats and provisions are unchanged.
Inspired lay Il good demand wheat
opened strong with May up asmi2c IL "a
nfsc. at $l.i2%. 10 sl.l3is. The weather
map exhibited extreme cold weather. aS
prevailing in the Northwest and rapidly
spreading across the whole country. The
cold wave made the probability of re-
duceG deliveries OF wheat by farmers
much more certain than had been pre-
yiously apparent
Another factor Influential in producing
Il buls. was Il cab!egruni from II Chicago
crop expert in Argentina The cablcgrLIn
Argentina had been ripened pfematurely
by frost.
From the first tap OF the bell a lively
demand was in evidence from commits
sion houses. but sellers Were few. In con-
. sequence. the market steadily gained il
strength, notwithstanding reports ind!cat-
ing the long drOuth III the winter wheat
territory had been broken by rain or
snow.
Demand for cash wheat, both in the
Northwest and Southwest was greatly
improved and this helped 10 create a
more bV!i.sh sentiment IN speculative trad
| ing. Primary receipts also were much
smaller than for the corresponding day u
year ago. but owing to wire tTGuDl" these
statistics were incomplete. During the
latter part of the session leader of the
bull crowd was a free seller. The in
creased offerings found ready buyers,
however, and prices continued to mount
The market closed at the highest pcint
Of the session. iIral quotations on May be-
ing at $l.lf2Ml.ii".. The amount on pass
age decreased $4,000 bu. Primary receipts
CEcompletcD were 59S 'tD bu.. compared
with 1.2g3.aUO bu. d year ago.
CORN.
Influenced by the strength OF wheat the
corn market held firm throughout the en-
| tire session. \ cold wave which is ex-
pecIcd TO decrease the movement from the
/ farms ant also TO Increase the cOn5ump-
| tiOn Of corn, was factor OF perhaps
! equal Importance in giving .irmn.ss to the
| market. May opened unchanged to l+c
| higher AT iJlac to 45@.c. and held within
| thr opening range. the close being at ijhs n
| i,&.c. LOca! receipts were LBS cars Gi
| days. with 10 of contract grade.
| OATS.
| The oats market influenced by strength
/ in other grains. and by the anticipated in
| creased consumption that would result
! from zero weather. The volume of bust
! ness continued very light. May opened
| unchanged at 3lSsc sold between aii.c and
| 81 H3l%4c ana closed at %l3sc. Local re-
| ceipts were 20 cars.
