Chicago. Nov 19-Increased con-
gestion In the December delivery caus-
ed further advance in the price OF
that option in the wheat market mere
to-day, the high point for the day being
reached at i.0s IA. Distant deliveries
were inclined to drop. A. tae ei sse,
prices were 1-s lower to Ia higher !.
Coarse grain and provisions closed
higher.
Active demand for the December de-
livery and consequent widening OF
the spread between that option and the
May delivery was the feature OF trad
Ing In the wheat pit At one time du-
Der was 2 rs. compared with IA the
previous season. Many of the smaller
shorts alarmed at the prospects OF y
squeeze" In tn nearby delivery, were
urgent bidders nearly all day. but Of
ferings were light the greater part OF
the time. Decreased receipts at all
primary points IN this country contrib
uted to slight degree to the strength
NJ that delivery.
The distant futures failed to follow
the upward trend of the December de-
livery. owing to favorable reports re-
garding the new crop In Argentina and
Australia, as well as in this country. A
st. Louis trade journal reported the
fall sown crop to be In excellent con-
dition with the exception of some dam
age by Hessian fly In Illinois and Mis-
souri,. Demand for cash wheat wac
rather slack at all the principal cen
ters.

but the selling pressure was not heavy
at any time. owing to the action Of
December wheat. Trading was incliaed
to drag throughout the day. and prices
moved over narrow range. The close
was easy with prices shade to 1-SGf

Proat-taking In the December option
caused moderate weakness in the oats
market. The volume of trading. how.
ever, was small. At the close. prices
were unchanged to 1-8@1-4 lower.
Despite bullish statistics regarding
the hog movement throughout the
West. the provisions market was weak
nj day. Local packers were moderate
sellers and this resulted in material
declines. particularly in pork. Prices
at the close were 5G27 1-a cents be-
low the final figures OF the previous
day.
