 visions Close Steady.
PRICES ARE FIRM ALL DAY

Chicago, December 10.-Iight receipts and a bulge in coarse grain imparted a strong tone to wheat today, prices at the close showing net gains of 14c to ssQAc. Corn and oats were extremely strong, the former closing 1isq1hc to 11sd14sc higher, and the latter 5sd1c higher than the final figures of the previous session. Provisions Also closed strong.
 Domestic conditions supplanted the Ar genuine situation with traders in wheat today, and held the market remarkably strong, despite advices from the South American country minimizing the injury by the recent frost to the new crop. Continued light receipts at all primary points in this country were the chief req son for the firmness which was mani Tested throughout the entire session The total movement was 2S2,000 against 6S8, ,000 bushels the corresponding day a year ago.
 The future deliveries displayed greater strength than the December option, and during the day May sold between $1 .081s and $1.09. December ranged between s1.0sss and q. l.10sk. At the close Decem. ber was up Ac at s1.l0, while May was ss@Ac higher at s1.0S7s@1 .0s.
 Corn for May delivery sold today at the highest price for the crop. the new rec ord being 641Ac. which was 15sc above the previous close. All other deliveries also made sharp gains, the December op- tion advancing 1Ac above the final figures of the previous session. Trading was of unusually large volume and the market closed at almost the best for the day. The range for December was between 5S7Ac and 6OMc, and for May between 621zc and 6fsc. The close on December was at Soc and on May at 64c.
 Trading in the oats pit was exceedingly active and the market was strong throughout the entire day. The chief rea- son for the urgent demand which was led by shorts was the continued light re- ceipts. The close was at the top with December at 431sc and May at 443sc.
 Provisions were strong because of con tinued receipts of live hogs and because of the upturn in coarse grains. Shorts and packers were the principal bidders. The market closed strong with prices 50 221z points hihgher.

 Is Strong With Prices 20 to
 27 Points Higher.

New York, December 10-It was the most sensationally excited day of the season in the cotton market with busi- ness on a tremendously active scale fol- lowing the publication of the govern ment's crop estimate, while prices scored big advances. with all deliveries making new high records for the season. The trade had been looking for & gov ernment estimate of about 1o Oo,o0o bales, on the average and when the official fig ures-only 10.08S, ,00o-were published, May contracts sold up to 15.soc or half a cent from the low level of the morning, 42 points above the closing figures of last night and TOT points, or $5.s5 per bale above the low of last week. Reac- tions occurred later, but the market closed firm and excited at d net advance of to s7 points. generally 20 to 2 points higher on current crop deliveries.
 The market had opened steady at an advance of 10 points to decline of s points and ruled irregular during the earlier trading. None of the larger bulls seenied to be reducing their lines but there was quite q good deal Of scatter ing liquidation. Cables had made q fair ly steady showing, however and there was little or no disposition to take the short side on the eve of such an irn- portant report. so that the market made a generally steady showing, and after selling off to a net loss of to points on the spring and summer months ral- lied to about or little over the clos ing figures Of last night before the governments estimate was published This was followed by d general buying movement while realizing was extreme ly heavy with reactions during the late session.
 The market gave evidence of the bull ish construction placed on the govern ment figures. The government estimate of 10,oS8000 bales is intended to repre- sent the growth of the season, exclu- sive of linters expressed in bales of 5o0 pounds gross. It Is usually expected that the estimate is under the commercial crop, which Includes the linters and oth- ef items.
 Liverpool which had opened after the regular closing to trade on the esti- mate made quick response of about 20 American points.
