CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Wheat-Wheat
delivered yesterday on December con,
tracts did not come on the market
again in any volume, $4,000 bushels
of No. / Northern being cancelled.
Exporters were again buying Deem
Der wheat in Winnipeg. as well as in
Duluth and in Kansas City. This trad
ing in December brought about higher
prices all around. The net result was
an advance of 3h in the May and
3ss in the December. Exporters re-
ported domestic wheat claiming about
LOO, 900 bushels, including sales by
way of gulf and some Durum. The
days clearances were over two mil
lion. only a small proportion was
bonded. A factor of considerable i'm
portance In the strength was an esti-
mate by q local statistician Of loss
of 10 percent in acreage Of winter
wheat during harvest, and the as
sumption that only about rs percent
wheat las been harvested was Of a
milling quality.
Corn-The feature In corn today
was urgent short covering in the De-
cember delivery, the spread narrow
ing to 31s cents against 41s cents last
night. The strength in the nearby
delivery was due, partly to a sharp
advance in Liverpool, but more to con-
tinued light receipts and the inability
of shippers to fill sales. When the
top was reached, there was heavy
profit taking, which the market read
lily absorbed and rallied promptly
from the quick setback. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bushels, or 1.213,-
600 bushels less than year ago. Re-
ceipts today were PIP cars which sold
at prices ! cent to 1s higher.
Oats-Heavy export sales and the
strength in other grains caused a net
advance Of IL to cents. Primary
receipts were $4,000 bushels, against
a million bushels last year. Some
profit taking on the sharp upturn.
rovfstons-Provisions were sharp
ly higher, WITH god demand noted.
Selling came from private holders, al
though packers sold in a small way.
A sharp reduction in local stocks was
the principal feature in the strength.
