OMAHA, Dec. 81, 1909.
Wheat proved a little weaker during the
early trading, especially In the December,
where a good deal OF realizing sales we're
INDUCED In by longs who had profits, but
were unwilling to take the delivery.
Steady selling of corn and the easier
wheat market 'softened the marlot and
bears were able to hold values down on
reports OF better railroad service.
Wheat was soft and values WORKED
gradually lower and the expected squeeze
was LACKING In the closing of the Deeem-
Der option. Holders of the option were
anxious to receive the delivery. TO increase
their cash holdings and refused TO bid the
futures up.
Corn was rather slow and values
slumped off on hammering by the bear
leaders and the weaker wheat market.
Cash corn held steady on improved de-
mand and all samples were easily ab-
sorbed.
Primary wheat receipts we're 5000 bu-
shells and shipments were 28l ,OJ bushels,
