Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Dec. 23-Wheat prices
scored a fresh advance today, influ-
enced by sudden increase of insur-
ance rates against Italy becoming in
yolved in war. Export demand was in
evidence After opening 5-8c off to a
shade up, the market made d general
ascent, with May, which was in the
lead, scing more than 3-4c above last
night
Germ hardened with wheat. Some
what larger receipts acted as check
to the bulls. The opening, unchanged
to 1-Sc higher, was followed by a
slight reaction and then by a moder-
ate rise all around.
One Of the leading elevator cOmpa-
MES was conspicuous en- the buying
side Of cats. The result was firmer
prices.
Realizing sales by packers weaken
ed provisions.
s. Later the gains and good deal
more disappeared under profit-taking
sales of wheat by longs. There were
also bearish rumors that the French
and British fleets had forced the
Dardanelles. The close was unset
tied, 1-8@1-4c to 3-4c under last night.
Afterward corn quotations held
steady, despite the weakness OF
wheat, The close was 14@3-8c above
last night
