COLO WEATHER IS
, BOOST FOR WHEAT
PRICE is ADVANCED BECAUSE OF
THE Low TEMPERATURE IN
WINTER CROP REGION.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-Wheat prices de-
veloped strength today because OF ex-
IRENE low temperatures in the west
and southwest with implied probability
Of damage to recently seeded grain as
we'll as to the growing crop. STEADY
cables and the smallness Of northwest
ern receipts counted also against the
bears. Little if any attention was given
to the temporary railroad embargo on
exports by way of Galveston. After
opening Nc Off to Nc up. the market
scored material advance all around.
The close was easy at an advance OF
a shade to Nc net.
Prospects of enlarged demand from
feeders tended to lift corn. Besides,
country offerings we're light. The open
ing, which ranged from shade to y q
u higher, was followed by slight re-
action and then moderate general up
turn.
The close was steady, unchanged to
a shade advance.
In the oats crowd, majority OF
traders took to the buying side owing
to the firmness of other grain. Some
Improvement in the volume Of business
was shown as compared with the last
few days.
Lower prices for hogs acted as a
weight on provisions Selling, however,
was not of an urgent character.

CHICAGO DAILY
MARKET NOTES

Shipping and export sales of cash
wheat were small yesterday due to
lack of sellers rather than to any let-up
in the demand. There were numerous
bids received at Chicago for cash
wheat, but light purchases In the coun-
try led holders to ask higher prices.
The aggregate. however was over $780,
900 bu to exporters, while millers took
5000 blu. Export sales in all positions
were estimated at over 100000 blu, and
bids were here for more than double
that quantity.
A record export business was done
Wednesday, sales Of wheat and flour
in all positions being estimated at
around 100000 bu, including 100000
bu sold as flour from Minneapolis.
There were further export sales Of flour
there and at Kansas City yesterday.
Charters were made at the seaboard
very high prices.
Cash wheat prices in the southwest
were irregular. ST. Louis being easier.
while. Kansas City was unchanged to
Nc higher. Omaha was off 1@1hc.
Milwaukee unchanged.
Seaboard exporters were in the
market for cash corn, but the amount Of
their purchases was not given out, al
though said to be around 100000 bu.
Domestic buyers took 100, 900 bu Firm
sample market, sales being at an adj
vance Of k@Ac. Country offerings

kets outbid Chicago ST. Louis was

call, however, was not shown in the
sample market, where values were I'M
changed to Nc lower. st. Louis was
off A@hc, Kansas City, Peoria and
Milwaukee were unchanged, and Oma-
ha unchanged to Nc higher.
Sentiment in the wheat trade is d.
vided. Bulls are satisfied to let prices
remain around the present level, and
say it means higher figures late. The
recuperative power shown by the mar
ket yesterday confirmed theories Of the
bulls, especially those in close touch
with the export business, as there were
orders here for over 100000 bu close
to the market. Among the bears there
is a belief that export news has been
worn out as bull factor.
Corn traders are more evenly divided
in opinion. Shorts have covered freely
because Of the decrease in receipts.
which have been cut to more than 700
cars since Monday. There is less dispo-
sition to press the short side. AS one
trader put it: May corn has touched

To his mind it showed that the market
had turned for the better.

MEAT is BLAMED
FOR APPENDICITIS

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 10.-Too
much meat in the training diet of the
Harvard football squad may have
been responsible for the attack of op-
pendicitis which kept Captain Brick
ley out Of the game most Of last sea-
son, Is the opinion of DR.. Richard G.
Newton, president Of the New Jersey
state board of health. In letter to
one of the university publications, DR..
Newton says that the idea that meat
eating may cause appendicitis is so
prevalent that it would seem to have
some foundation in fact He sug-
gests that this extremely important
matter deserves all the study and re-
search necessary to elucidate the
question"
