CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Entnre Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Bullish sentiment pre-
vailed in the wheat pit throughout to-day $
entire session. At the start the December
delivery was up 9s@%c to A@Tsc at 81 O95a
to 81 CO.'S. May was up 5sQs4c to 1c at 81 10ls
to 81 103.. The initial advance was due mainly
to a sharp rise in wheat prices at Liverpool
quotations there being up finally Id. The
strength of the English market said to
be the result of bullsh advices from Argen-
tina. Reports from that country indicated
that excessive rains had caused delay in har-
vest operations. entailing considerable damage
to the CROP. Another bullish factor was dis
patch from Odessa claiming an appreciable
decrease in arrivals and shipments of wheat
there. Domestic conditions also favored the
bulls Drouth in the Southwest remained un-
influential character, -four mills at Minneap-
oils being good buyers of the higher grades
On profit taking the market early lost a por-
tion of the opening advance, December easing
off to 81 co.'s. May declined to 81 09%01 10
On the reaction shorts became active buyers
of the day excellent demand was in evil
dence, offerings being readily taken. A report
by a St Louis crop journal telling of damage
by drouth and Hessian flies was bullish fac
tor late. The high point Of the day was
reached at 81 10h for December. Meantime
May advanced to 81 H. The market closed
strong, with December up 1sQlc at 81 09$.
