GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, December S.-The Argentine
frost scare displaced the government re-
port as a factor in the wheat market to-
day, and as a result sentiment in the pit
early in the session was bullish. Lead
ing commission houses and shorts were
eager bidders, while offerings for time
were meager. News received from Ar
gentina today was still of conflicting
nature but the general opinion of trad
ers seemed to incline to the belief that
considerable damage would result from
the recent freeze"
Prices opened 1s to u lower. May open
ing at 1.O7A to LOTS. Within a few
minutes the price of the May option had
advanced to LOS.
The bulge in wheat caused considerable
strength in the corn market, shorts and
cash interests being active bidders. Light
receipts inspired good demand for the De-
cember delivery, and the price of that op-
ton advanced about kc. May. which
opened a shade lower to a shade higher.
at 61ts to 6la, advanced to 62ls
Oats were active and strong. Commits
sion houses and shorts were active buy
ers. owing to continued light receipts. The
May delivery opened unchanged to &c
higher at 43ls to 43A and advanced to
43ss.
Provisions were strong because of fair
ment of live hogs Offerings were scanty.
Prices at the start were unchanged to
121aa15c higher.
Buying in the December wheat delivery
by a leading elevator interest caused a
still further bulge during the final half of
the day, the price of December option adj
vancing to 100. which was . cents
above the low point of the day. At the
same time May sold up to 1.OSAass.
The market closed strong with Decem Der

scented a charming appearance, eXecut-
ing several graceful dances.
The carnival OF lanterns" was espe-
cially attractive, the old walls and
buildings of Pompeii forming a pictur-
esque background for the scene. In the
midst of this pretty scene occurred the
eruption of Vesuvius Amid spouting
lava and rockets and a noise as of heavy
artillery in action, the walls Of Pompeit
crumbled before this outburst of fury.
The people, fleeing in every direction,
with terror stricken cries, made the
scene realistic.
To close the program magnificent
display of fireworks was given. One
large piece represented Niagara falls.
Every exploding bomb drew forth an
outburst of delighted exclatnations from
the audience.
A large piece was touched off at the
close of the program representing Leo
Youngworth, while another, equally
good, showed the head of the time hon
ored Elk, and beneath. the figure "09."

Pain Fireworks company and are prob
ably the finest ever shown in Los An
