THE NORTHWEST
BUYING WHEAT HERE
Armour Reported to Be Long
Bears Afraid to Go Short to
Any Extent

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-Widespread de-
mand for cash wheat was the main cause
of strong market in speculative options.
At the close May wheat was UP x O. &c.
Corn showed a gain of u @3sc Oats are
up Is q Ac. Provisions are practically un-
changed.
Wheat
Sentiment in the wheat pit at the open.
ing was rather bearish as a result of lower
cables and a material increase in ship
ments from Argentina Initial quotations
on May We're off 1sc TO Ne at $1.103s a
1.l01s. News from the Northwest, how
ever, was OF continued bullish tenor: AS
result the market here soon developed
stronger tone. One report from Mime
apol1s stated that the demand for cash
wheat there was of most excellent char
acter. Another report was that sales of
low grade wheat to go to Kansas City had
been made during the day. These adj
vices were given additional weight by
good buying orders from Northwestern
additional strength through a report from
st. Louis to the effect that Indiana and
OHIO millers are buying wheat In the
Southwest.
A feature of trading during the latter
part OF the session was an urgent demand
for September delivery There was
resultant advance of 21zc in the price of
that option. Shorts were the principal
buyers of December Meantime May ad-
Yanced 1ssc from the low point of the
DAY, selling up to $1l1&. Part of the
gain was subsequently lost on profit taxi
ing, but the market closed strong. Final
quotations on May were at $1.11A @1. IL 3s.
Ciearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $1,000 bushels. Exports for the
week, as shown by Bradstreet's were
liz. 900 bushels. Primary receipts were
729, 800 bushels, compared with GAG, 900
bushels year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 581 cars,
against ZIG cars last week and 426 cars
year ago.
Influenced by lower cables and increased
prevailed in the corn market at the open
ing. On an active covering by shorts,
however, firm undertone soon developed.
An improved demand for the cash grain
had bullish effect on the December OPP
ton, but distant deliveries were held in
check by the immense size of the new
crop. May opened unchanged at Ash "a
1850 Local receipts were 444 cars, with
of contract grade.
The oats market was firm throughout
the entire day. At the outset prices were
bid up by local shorts who bought on the
light receipts. Later the market acted in
sympathy with the advance in wheat.
Cash prices were higher. May opened un-
changed to &c higher at 31Ac to $3.50
31Nc, sold up to 313s @311ac and closed at
BIZ @312sc. Local receipts were AZ ears.
Provisions
On fair support by packers the provis-
ions market held firm the entire day.
Trading was comparatively quiet. At the
close May pork was up 21s @5e. at $12.92k.
Lard was shade lower at $712k. Ribs
were unchanged at $3.50.
