definite figures on turkey prices, but
they believe the prices will be about
what they were at Thanksgiving,
when retailers asked IS and go cents
a pound.
Butter and egg prices are the same
as at the closing Of last weeks trad
Ing. The market is firm on both
products, with no indications of de-
creased prices in the near future.

ToDAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, December 19.-With be-
low zero weather prevailing and with
adequate snow protection lacking TOT
much of the winter crop, wheat
season today during the early deal
ings. Bullish views of the foreign
financial situation counted in favor
Of the buying side and offerings were
eiatively small as compared with de-
mand in which number OF strong
commission houses took the lead. On
the bulge in prices, however. profit
taking sales brought about something
of reaction. The opening. which
varied from unchanged figures to eia
higher with May 1884 to 1:23s4 and
July l.14a4 to 1.1o2s. was followed by
material gains all around.
Corn, as well as wheat. touched new
top records for the season. Rural
offerings OF corn were light and large
arrivals here today were said to be
chiefly to fill contracts. After open
ing unchanged to = higher, May "a
to 74l., the corn market scored good
general gains.
Oats went up with other cereals
starting unchanged to y higher. Mas
46J1 to 47!s, and later continuing to
climb.
Higher quotations on hogs helped
to lift the provision market.
