Prices on Board of Trade.

Prices ON Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 18-Wheat developed
strength today, largely as a result of as
sertions that Great Britain and France
were taking radical measures to provide
more ocean freight room Tor grain. Clos
ing prices, although nervous, were NC
to 1kQ19sc net higher, with December at
$L17% and May at 81 1914. The finish in
corn was irregular, &c off to $sc up, and
for oats was at hQl4c to nc decline
vance of l5c.
Possibilities of a big increase in the
United States visible supply total son
Monday led at one time to moderate
setback for wheat prices, but the effect
was not of the lasting sort. The amount
of the enlargement appeared to depend
chiefly on whether or not account was
taken of Buffalo stocks afloat.
Cold weather had q peartsh influence
on corn. Deferred deliveries, though, re-
sponded later to the strength of wheat.
Oats suffered in value owing to reports
that in the east the offerings Of Cana
dian oats were cheaper than the domestic.
Provisions hardened la price owing to
recent big shipments of meats and lard.
Only passing notice seemed to be given
to announcement that hog arrivals here
for the week were the largest on record.

CASH CORN DEMAND IS GOOD

OMAHA, December IS. 1915
The receipts today were exceptionally
heavy, there being a total OF 1886 cars re-
ceived. This is the largest single day
run received on the local exchange for
several months and the general tone OF
the market was bearish.
There was an active demand for every
thing on the list, but the demand was
hardly strong enough to take care Of such
heavy receipts Wheat held up well, the
better grades selling at unchanged prices
and the poorer grades declining about a
cent.
The cash demand for corn was good
but the market was very weak and ranged
from 1 to cents lower.
Oats followed wheat and corn, dropping
from " to / cent although the cash de-
mand for this cereal was pretty active.
Rye was irregular, selling from Nc
higher to 1c lower, and barley remained
practically unchanged
