CHICAGOI Dec, e,-Reports of frost in
Argentina cansed a sharp advance in wheat
prices here today. final quotations showing
net gains of 1c to 1ssc Corn, oats and pro-
visions also scored substantial gains.
The crop scare from Argentina injected
a vast amount of bullish enthusiasm into
trading in the wheat pit about the middle
of the session., although the market earlier
in the day had displayed moderate firm
ness. The reports from the South Ameri-
car republic, however, were not Of a salts
factory character, failing as they did to
state definitely the area affected by the
allegation of the visitation. A large part
Of the crop has already been harvested in
northern sections and other portions of 1t
are now beyond the damage stage. A vast
amount of it. 1t was claimed, is still sub
ject to serious injury by cold weather,
Earlier adviees from Argentina had told of
a return of wet weather, which would delay
harvesting, and this, together with firm
cables, had inspired considerable covering
by shorts during, the first hour The liber-
ality Of worlds shipments, the movement
for the week being about S,O00,O0 bushels
in excess OF the figures for the correspond

hold buyers in check early in the day. De

equally urgent during the last half of the
session. The former month ranged between
$1.06 and $1.O79s, while May sold between
S1.06 and $1.0zh. The market closed strong
at almost the top, DECEMBER being at $l,O1h

as a matter OF fact, trains were so much
delayed by storms in the country that the
actual number of cattle on sale when the
market opened was extremely small, and
as they began selling in quite good sea-
son, there were at no time many cattle on
the market.
All kinds of killing cattle, both beef
steers and COW stuff, started out with a
very strong feeling prevalent and with
prices generally fully 1c higher. The
quality OF the beef steers, however. was
not very good, SO that prices as q rule
did mot make too good a showing on paper.

were in and spectators did not appear dis

quenoe, the early market on feeders was
not very active and no more than steady

.HOGS-Recelpts Of hogs this morning
were extremely Light, only about fourteen
cars being IN sight when the market opened
with about as many more reported back.
This means that there were at no one time
enough hogs In sight to make a market or
interest buyers Still conditions were such
that packers all wanted hogs and were
willing to pay more money for them, with
the result that the market opened fully 10c
higher than last weeks close. Although
of the hogs among the early receipts
at least were lacking in weight, still the
most Of the hogs sold at S.lOR8.l6, as
against IS. O0g8.@ for the bulk on Saturday.
The hogs kept coming in a car or two at
a time until q total OF over twenty cars
had been received and sold. The later ar
rivals sold on about the same basis as. the
early, the market as a whole being fully
10c higher and in some cases possibly more
than that on the better grades, but hardly
as much on the light grades.
Among the late arrivals was a car OF good
heavy South Dakota hogs that sold at 81. "a,
the high price OF the day and the highest
OF any day since September, when IS. 80 Vas
paid, that price having been the highest
Of the year.
