was based chiefly on talk of an improved export business, fifty-two boatloads of wheat being reported as taken today at New York. while twenty boatloads were said to have been purchased here for dt- rect shipment. The close was strong.
 The amount on passage decreased 2.952,- 900 bushels and the visible supply decreas- ed 204.00 bushels. Primary receipts were 1,126,000 bushels compared with 1,152.000 bushels the corresponding day year ago.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receiputs of 977 cars, against 646 cars last week and 73s cars a year ago.
 The corn market was weak early in the session owing to renewed liquidation of the December delivery. The market rallied in sympathy with wheat and nearly all of the early loss was resained. The close was steady.
 Trade in oats was light and the market was mainly influenced by corn. Shorts were the chief buyers. Local receipts were 151 cars. e'
 Provisions had sharp reaction after a weak opening. Shorts and local packers were active buyers during the last half of the session which resulted In substantial advance from the opening quotations. A further decline of 15@20c in the price of live hogs was responsible for the weakness. The market closed strong with January pork up 200 at $11. 95. Lard was 2lsc higher at s7.25. Ribs were 2he higher at $6.35.
