CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. December lit was q nerv-
our, uncertain market today In wheat. At
the outset prices were higher on account
of a disposition to discount recent opti-
mistic estimates Of the Argentine crop.
Reports that heavy rains had made the
prospect less favorable in the South
been somewhat interfered with attracted
considerable attention. On the other
hand, receipts. at points northwest Of Chi
cago showed none OF the falling OF which
many traders were watching for so eager
ly. Deliveries here on December con-
tracts were large, but went into strong
hands and seen/d to have little effect on
prices. The opening was y to y higher.

vance Of u to y, but fell to os%a9sA:

vators concern made oats weak. May
started unchanged to a shade lower at

remain fairly steady. Initia! sales were
21a lower to 21s higher. with May deliv.
ely at 1850 for pork: 8521e for lard and
