z CHICAGO, NOV. 30.-Purchases Of
100000 bushels. of corn for one firm
here not only put up the price of that
grain today, but also gave an appear.
'ance Of strength to wheat and oats.
The outcome OF trading was q net ad!
vance of s to- SC on corn, Y to sc
gain for oats, and in wheat, rise OF
Nc, except for,the December delivery,
which showed a loss Of Bc. Provis
Ions, at the close ranged from 12kc
higher to 2lAc down.
Corn finished at the top price of the
day and with the tone decidedly firm.
Persistent buying for a leading short
overcame weak start and simultan..
eously the fact. developed that export
sales were being made here On "a fair.
SCALE Il was declared that the pur.'
chases for short account all meant a
handsome profit to the buyer, but the
effect on prices did not seem to be
altered in any degree by that circum:
stance. On the contrary, the advance
took fresh impetus when oats and
wheat showed osigns Of rising in sym
pathy. 10 20 * = I. i43
In wheat short sellers made an ear
ly drive at the market, but oversold to
commission houses that had resting
orders in plenty Adding to the trou
bles OF the bears were reports Of ex-
port sales at 4 Baltimore. Moreover.
primary receipts were. only 40 per cent
OF the total NJ year ago. There was
also a gool islzcd decrease in the
worlds supply available. Snow In
Karsas and Missouri furnished the in.
centive for thefearly selling. the idea
being that the winter crop would be
materially benefited by the downfall.
Corn strength, u though, proved sufii
cient to neutralize al bearish inilu
ences.
Strength in other grain caused an
improved tone In oats. Elevator and
shipping interests especially showed
increased activity.
Small purchases on the part of the
shorts made provisions firm.
