CATTLE-There was another very fair
run of cattle here this morning and the re-
ceipts consisted very largely of warmed-up
steers, a with a very good sprlnkling or
butcher stock and trash Of all kinds.
The trade opened in good season in the
morning, buyers for the most part being
out In the yards early, and as they very
evidently wanted fresh supplies OF beef
aspect. AS to prices there was no very
marked change in any direction. Desirable
kinds of cattle sold at just about steady
prices and statesmen were not pointing out
any very great change.
There was no great surplus OF cows and
heifers, in fact, buyers complained that the
supply was rather short. With the demand
good the trade was fairly active and pretty
much everything changed hands IN good
season. Late trains delayed the trade
quite satisfactory.
There were very few stockers and feeders
In sight, but such as there were sold to
good advantage. prices being very strong.
Feeder buyers helped out very materially
in taking quite a good many of the warmed
anxious for,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Ronrd of Trade.


CHICAGO, Dec. 2a-Argentine advices
formed the basis of a l cent advance in the
price OF wheat here today. The market
closed strong at the top notch. Corn and
oats also closed strong, but provisions were
weak.
One of the factors aiding strength OF
wheat was a cablegram from Argentina
stating that severe storms were doing con-
siderable damage to the wheat crop. Other
advices from that country confirmed pre-
vious or a comparatively small
Tor export, These reports transformed a
weak market into one of decided strength.
Al the opening prices were bc 70 Aqhc
lower compared with the previous close,
the weakness being due to a decline of u
pence TO " pence at Liverpool. A firmer
hour. d sTs tSSae 1gwsFa tt the 4s emo 81 the ~ fl tSs
day sentiment In the pit continued to be
bullish. A special report on the fall sown
crop OF wheat In this country made by a
local expert. who was inclined to doubt the
accuracy of the government statistics,
showed that the official figure placed the
total acreage. at 1.25O.0oO acres more than
was claimed by this authority. This report
helped 10 strengthen the market. The mar
ket closed strong with all deliveries at the
and July at $3.50. Clearances OF wheat and
flour were equal to $4,000 bushels. The
worlds visible supply. as shown by Brad
streets. increased 1900 bushels. Primary
with 5O6. 900 bushels the corresponding day
a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported total receipts or JO cars
against 2Sj last week and 42l a year ago..
A prospective falling off in receipts was
the chief incentive to considerable buying
OF corn by elevator interests and shorts,
which resulted In a strong market during
the last half OF the day. The expectation
of a decreased movement was based mainly
on official forecast OF unsettled weather
for the corn belt, slight weakness was
manifested early in the day, owing to
lower cables and the weakness of wheat.
The market closed strong at the highest
point with prices up NC to sh9Ac; final
quotations on May being at 6i1G6l%c and
on July 6i&c. Local receipts were AS cars,
with seven OF contract grade.
The advance in wheat and corn impaired
moderate firmness to the oats market, but
the volume of trade was extremely small
81 The bulk of business was in the May de.
livery. The market closed firm at the tor
with prices up kQhc TO &c compared with
the previous close, final quotations on May
y being at 51Sc. and on July 46%c. Local re-
ceipts were 1877 cars.
Increased receipts OF live hogs here anc
at other western packing centers induced
moderate realizing In provisions by loca
longs which caused a weak marke
throughout the entire day. Prices at the
close were off 2k to 10 cents.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat

HOGS-A run of about $50 loads of hogs
this morning was the signal for a decline
in prices. The quality was fairly good. the
most Of the stuff being on the desirable
order. Packers demands were generally
light, so that they started In from the first
to pound the market, bidding early In the
morning fully 1c lower and later on l0c
or more, lower on all grades, especially
on the light, common kind. In some cases
light stuff showed even a greater decline
than lOc, but the general market may be
quoted as 1Oc lower. with a top at $50 and
the hulk from AZ bOQ6 70.

Fair and Colder Is the Forecast for
Wednesday.

OMAHA, Dec. %, 1908.
The pressure is high east of the Missis-

the southwest. The depression in the ex-
IRENE northwest. noted in the preceding
report. has moved eastward and is now
central over the northern line of North
Dakota, and extends south over the upper
Missouri valley and middle Rocky noun
tain slope. This disturbance was accom-
panied by light snow flurries over the
extreme northwest. and is followed by
flurries of snow in western Montana this
morning. Increasing cloudiness is shown
throughout the upper valleys. and warmer
weather prevails In the mountains and east
over the valleys to the Lake region. The
hig pressure on the Pacific coast, is ac-
companied by a decided fall in tempera-
ture i'm the extreme northwest and the out
look is for fair and colder in this vicinity
