CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRovIsIONs
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices ON Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Despite helpful
news from many sources, better harvest
weather in Argentina, sent the wheat
market today to a lower level The close
here was easy at 1c to nc under yester-
day. Corn. finished a 1-16c to 3sc highAr
than last night, oats a shade down and
hog products unchanged to 1Oc lower.
Partly offBettinR the improved weather
for wheat harvest in Argentina were re-
duced estimates OF the surplus which
would be available for export from that
country The bulls obtained some en-
couragenent, too, from the fact that re-
ceipts OF spring wheat this side of the
Canadian line were a little lighter than
n year ago, but the arrivals at Winnipeg
told different story, being quadruple
the figures of a year ago. Not only here
but Minneapolis, Omaha and Kansas City
millers were buying. Between the OPEN
ing and the close May ranged from $50
s91sc, with last sales 9sks, a loss OF 40
net. ~.r,
Rough weather over most of the belt
had bulli 1h effect on corn. Besides
there was an official prediction that re-
thirty-six hours May fluctuated from
63A@4 to 6A3Sc, closing steady a shade
net higher at 64lSc. Cash grades were
not freely offered. No. yellow brought
COX 961c for new.
Though firm most of the day with
corn, the oats market dropped in the end
as a result of the down turn of wheat
The fact that primary receipts were
! IuiHlii6 large WIS also an lHAluSHCe TEND
ing to lower quotations Top and bottom
prices for May were 49c and 4s%c, with
the close at the last named level, a net
decline OF a shade.
Provisions were a little disposed to sag,
owing to the possibility that the action
of the British government In shutting out
bids from the larger American packers
might lead to a similar course by other
nations. Pork closed 7lzc to 10c down,
but lard and ribs had not eased off be-
yond 2lac at the most
