ARGENTINA SCARE
ENTHUSES BULLS
TRADING IN WHEAT PIT MARKED
-ARGENTINA REPORTS ARE
UNSATISFACTORY.
Demand for December and May DeIiv-
cries Is About Equally Urgent
During Session.

CHICAGO, Dec 6.-The crop scare
of bullish enthusiasm into trading in
the wheat pit today, although the mar
ket earlier in the session has dis
played moderate firmness. The reports
from the South American republic,
however were not of a satisfactory
character failing, as they cid, to state
definitely the area affected by the al
legged visitation Although part of the
crop has already been harvested in the
rcrthern sections and other portions
of Argentina it is now beyound the
damage stage, although vast amount
to serious injury by cold weather.
Early adviccs from Argentina told of
return of wet weather, which would
delay harvesting, and this together
with firm cables had inspired con-
siderable covering by shorts during the
first hour. The liberality of worlds
shipments, the movement for the week
being about three million bushels in
excess of the figures for the CORES
ponding period a year ago, had ten
dency to hold buyers in check early in
the day. Demand for the December
and May deliveries was about equally
urgent during the last half of the
session The former month ranged be-
tween s1O6 and $107 SIS, while May
sold between s1.O6 and $1.07 IL. The
market closed strong, December at
s1O7 1-2 and May at s1.o7 3-S.
Corn displayed remarkable strength
considering the material drop in temp
erature over the corn belt The market
closed strong, 5-Sc to 1-2@5-Sc higher.
Brisk demand for cash oats caused
strength in that grain. At the close
prices were Lac to 5Sc above Sat
urday's close.
Provisions were strong and closed
strong, 10 to soc higher.
Cash quotations were as follows:

Grain statistics:
Total clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to $4,000 blu. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bu., compared with
$4,000 blu. the corresponding day a
year ago. The visible supply of wheat
in the United States increased 1862

Shall the Commercial association
retain its present quarters and inn
prove them or shall the club move
into the new city hall? This Is a
question that will soon have to be
solved by the members and from APP
pearances the decision is going to
preciptate a warm though friendly
contest.
During the past few weeks the sub
ject of remodeling the club has been
much discussed in local business cir
cles. There are many members who
believe that the association should re-
main where II is. But the advocates
of the city hall location are also nu-

ALL WANT BETTER QUARTERS
BUT DIFFER As TO LOCATION
