lhe bulls SIN have the wheat market
their own way and prices continue 10 ad-
vance. Congestion in the December option
b. stll evident. Notwithstanding the fact
that shorts have covered freely and further
advances In cash wheat are predicted.
The bears on Che corn market are more
confident and have not changed their opln-
ions they stiI predict heavy country ship
ments with gradually lower prices.
shorts in December wheat are being
saueeZed into covering their sales by bulls
and cash sellers who are boosting Prices
on Light receipts and small contract stocks.
The cash market b. strong and values ere
working higher.
The corn market was less active and
values remained STEADY. but unchanged.

HOGS-So4d l0c higher than yesterday =
general market. If q comparison Was 10 Re
ma0e with yesterday morning il would
show an advance OF l0a1bc. The trade SAs
RcuiVe al the advance ana pretty mucn
everything II sight changed hands in very
good season IN the morning. In fact The
early receipts, consisting Of about forty
five cars, were sold before 10 O'CLOCK III the
morning. The prices paid ranged lErgs ely
from Ss.25 up 10 $3.50, and as high Al SAE7hs
for strictly good hogs. Yesterday q very
large proportion OF the hogs brought SS.l6a
STA with g top al SGE7M-
ToGayE advance makes up for all the de-
cline Of Wednesday, ana more, too, leaving
the market very nearly as good as II was
On Monday
After the more urgent orders were filled
and as II became apparent that receipts
ere likely to rEn considerably above first
buyers seemed 10 come 10 the
conclusion thai they mad paid more money
FOR their hogs early than was necessary
and they accordingly lowered their bids
Thus IL appeneG that the market became
very SLOW and DUN on the late trains, with
a good share o. the mornings advances
wiped out.
