Late Market Quotations
Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.

Furnished by Long Commission Col
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Wheat-While
bear news is not lacking, 1t seems
to have been pretty well discounted,
and the market shows good resistance
to pressure on moderate breaks.
Bears have more confidence and
bulls, who became discouraged by
the big decline, have lost courage and
are disposed to sell on minor rallies.
Meanwhile, exporters have come into
the market, Baltimore buyers today
being willing to pay the market and
to guarantee vessel room. Although
it is not made public, 1t Is stated on
reliable authority that 100000
bushels of wheat were sold for export
over night. There is confirmation of
our previous reports that the pros
pect for heavy clearances during the
month is to be realized
Corn-A Deter demand for cash
corn and the bulge in wheat caused
a sharp rally in the futures. Receipts
continue to be disappointing and I'M
less the country seller is favored both
by weather and more cars, there is
likely to be little pressure from cash
corn on December delivery which will
probably gain further on the May.
i
Oats-Oats were in sympathy with
other grains. Brokers who have been
acting for eastern interests were
liberal sellers early. and their offer
ings were taken by commission house
and elevator interests With clear,
ing up of the freight situation, the
market should do better.
