CHICAGO, Dec 30-The weather map seemed
during the initial half hour of trading and senti
ment was inclined TO be bearish, owing to quite
free selling by several leading commission
houses. A closer scrutiny of the weather report
however, apparently convinced many traders that
the fall sown crop of wheat, which was without
ously damaged by the decided drop in tempera-
ture which was scheduled to occur tonight or to-
morrow night throughout the lower Missouri
middle and upper Mississippi and lower Ohio
river valleys. This apprehension brought out
active buying Of wheat by shorts. which resulted
in the market becoming decidedly strong. One
of the leading bulls also bought freely through
out the last half Of the day. An improved de-
mand for cash wheat in the southwest espe-
bushels had been sold to southwestern millers
was additional strengthening influence. An
advance of 2s5c In the price of December wheat
at Winnipeg also had some effect. The market
closed strong at slmost the top point of the day,
with May at $1.08ss and July at S1.O01s
The bulge in wheat was chiefly responsible for
firm tone manifested in the corn market The
market closed firm and only triHe below the
hest marks Of the session, with prices up Ia a
&c. Final quotations on May were 61% and on
July 62c.
More activity was displayed in the oats nit
than for some time past, but great strength
manifested. The market closed steady, with
prices Il lower to 1sc higher than the previous
close, with May at 52c and July at 46Kc
A 10c decline in the price of live hogs caused
considerable weakness in provisions early In the
day, but a steadier tone developed later Clos
ing quotations were sc higher to 215c lower
compared with the previous close.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The leading futures
ranged as follows:
