basis and bulk Of receipts changed hands

OMAHA Dec. y, lba.
The wheat market was not so errauc

strongly in the corn situation, while SEN

strength.
Wheat started high on firm cables and
carly buying orders. AS soon as the flrst

Corn weakened sharply and was sold

HOGS-Receipts OF boss were light this
morning and sellers taking note of that
fact and the further fact that adYices
from other selling points were encouraging
started out asking dee dedly higher prices
than yesterday, On the Other hand, priets
being already close up to the high point
OF the year, packers were slow about put
ting on anything. They wanted the hogs,
but they did not seem 10 want TO bid up
very much higher. The result was that
the market opened slow, but gradually
prices stiffened up until the more dtsir-
able OF the hogs possessing some weight
sold about Sc higher. The light and under
Weight loads aid not sell quite so readily
and il took more work to get buyers to
raise prices on that kind. still the hogs
kept selling a load or two at a time and
the early receipts were cleaned up In fair
season.
Hogs are selling so high that packers are
buying them as II were under protest, and
hence the natural thing TO expect Is that
they will take advantage Of any Opportunity
afforded TO cheaper up their purchases.
Late trains which arrived at the yards
after the more urgent orders are filled and
some of the buyers have dropped out. at
ford the very best opportunity fer this
eheapening up OF droVes. fhe result 10
that the market closes lower nearly every
day. Today the same old program was In
force, While the early market was higher,
as noted above, the later market sased off,
b. yeTs trying to pick up the late arrivals
al prices quite a little lower. making the
trade slow and Unsatisfactory toward the
close.

CATTLE-There was a decent run Of cat
tie here this morning, the supply being
generally just about equal to the demand
so that the trade was in a fairly satsfac-
tory condition as a whole.
The proportion of beef steers among the
receipts was not so large as yesterday, but
still there was a fair showing. Buyers all
seemed to want a few good killers end as q
rule We're out in the yards in fair season
cleaning up The early arrivals some little
time before midday. The prices paid were
steady to strong as compared with yester-
day.
Cows and heifeTs were. also in very good
demand, n they too, sold quite freely
at steady to strong prices. The early ar
as q whole was satisf AGtory.
The only unsatisfactory feature OF the
cattle trade was the poor demand Tor
feeders and stoekeTs, but that was to be
expected under existing conditions. The
trade In consequence was slow and dull,
with the tendency of prices lower.

The principal factor responsible for the
strong opening in wheat was a dispatch

A later decline was preclpitated by the
selling of december by a prominent cash
