The wheat market again showed firm

to maintain all of the early advance,
they showed net gains for the day of

late has had tendency to create more
confidence and is thought to be re-

demand situation.
From the low point of the season,
November 26, prices advanced % to
29kc on December 6, after which there
was perpendicular drop of 1914 to
20 cents on December 10. and since
that time the market has rallied 10%
to 1870 to the high point of yester-
day.
The efforts being made to stabilize
values by special legislation, includ-
ing the revival of the War Finance
Corporation, have undoubtedly helped
the market materially, while continued
