CHICAGO GRAIN AMI PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices ON Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The railroad strike in
the northwest had ceased to be a factor
in the wheat market today and the eyes
of the traders were again focused on Ar
said to be favorable for harvesting. Fa-
Vorable crop reDorts from the South Amer
lean country caused a heavy tone In the
market all day and at the close prices
we're hG%c below the final figures OF the
previous session. Coarse grain and pro-
visions also closed weak.
Although sensational rumors we're cir
culated on the floor Of the exchange be-
fore the opening Of trading predicting u
general strike on all railroads as the out
come Of the situation In the northwest the
reports were given no credence In favor
Of the more optimistic tenor OF news
emanatlng from the scene of the labor
troubles. Traders, however, were inclined
up new deals. and as, a result The volume
OF business was small. The rapid spread
OF harvest operations In Argentina inspired
more or less selling throughout the day,
all deliveries. Cold weather was the off,
cial forecast for the entire winter wheat
belt, but this failed to have any bullish
effect, owing to the newly-seeded crop be-
ing covered with snow in many sections,
dy was between sLO5ssQ1.O 6%. The mar
ket closed only q trifle above to the low

The corn market was weak and closed
almost at the lowest point, with prices $50

Oats were moderately firm at the start
but developed an easier tone early IN the
session and became weaker as trading
progressed. At the close prices We're. q
