Tonopah Belmont was by far the most
active of the home shares and was one

Prediction of Coming Cold
Wave and Strength in Cash
Article Cause Buying
CHICAGO, Dec. "a.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a.
A good general demand featured the
corn market today and as offerings were
rather limited prices were higher. one
of the incentives for the buying was the
prediction of coming cold wave, but
the strength in the cash situation also
caused purchasing.
Receipts were moderate and quotations
in the cash market were higher. The
weather conditions since last Saturday
generally were favorable. Shipments
from North America for the last week
amounted to 1872, 600 bushels, compared
with $4,000 bushels last year.
The high on December was s1.27iR.
the low s1.27L and the close si.27A
compared with s1.27A, Saturdays last
price. The best on January was S126L
the low S1.251a and the close S1257A
bid compared with s1.25h the final quo
tation of Saturday. The best on May
was SIPS, the bottom s1.23N and the
final 81 24ia. against S123 ~, Saturdays
final price.
A good demand from commission and
shipping houses and from cash firms
caused advances in oats although the
strength in corn and the firmness of the
cash markets also caused a bullish feel
ing around the pit.
II was the general impression that the
purchases for the account of the ship
ping houses were at least in plrt for
foreign interests. At best the selling
was moderate.
The high on December was 7sSsc, the
low nc and the close 1890 to 7Sl&c,
compared with 76Bc, the final quota
ton of Saturday. The oest on May
was 757ac. the bottom 74hc and the
