CORN ADVANCES SHARPLY.
Continued Lack of Receipts
Cause. Jump in Prices.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Sharp advances In
the corn market resulted to-day from
persistent meagreness of arriving sup
plies At one time the December option
showed an overnight Jump Of INC.
Prices closed unsettled. varying from the
same as yesterdays finish to e%c.
higher. with January s1.42A to sl.42%,
and May S1.36% to s1.36k. Oats
gained y to NC. and provisions 1oc.
to 81.
All deliveries of corn except May rose
to the highest prices of this season.
December led In point of strength. but
business In that month was not large
and the squeeze on December shorts did
not become acute until the last hour Of
the session. The fact that receipts were
even more scanty than they have been
of late gave the bulls a decided advan-
tage, especially as unsettled weather
pointed to further restriction Of the crop
movement. On the bulge. however.
country offerings became somewhat more
liberal. and considerable realizing by
longs here took place. Nevertheless, De-
cember, unlike the other months, held
most of its advance.
