Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. Fresh strength de-
veloped In the wheat market today oW-
ing to prospects Of additional export
buying. There were advices that ships
would be withdrawn from the Argen-
! tine trade. and it was pointed out In this
connection that vessels could as easily
make three trips to North America from
Europe as one trip to Australia. EST
mates were current that France alone
would this season require imports OF
100000 tons Of wheat. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as yester- ;
days finish to INC higher. with May at
3lS1N to 1882 and July at 31.50A to
$1.51A. were followed by a moderate re-
action and then a substantial advance
all around.
n A decline set in later on account OF
assertions that lack Of readily avail
able freight carriers on the North At
lantic had caused letup in export de-
mand. There were also reports Of large
shipments to Europe from Australia.
The close was heavy 1c to y net low,
, er with May at S1.7Sh to $I7sA and
July at $1.4SH to $1.4sh.
Unwelcome rains had bullish effect
on corn. Besides, the strength Of wheat
tended to lift prices. After opening u to
1ssc higher, the market sagged little,
but soon turned upgrade again. =
Reports OF increased country Offer
ings led subsequently to setback In
prices. The close was weak at y to
1 sc net decline.
Commission houses were mostly on
the buying side in the oats crowd. The
incentive appeared to be the firmness
Of other cereals.
Liberal receipts Of hogs weakened
provisions. Selling, though was only Of
