BU United Financial
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Graln prices
opened generally unchanged on dull
market today. Nearby deliveries,
however. showed fractional gains.
Wheat met a fair class OF local
buying. which rallied prices slightly
above Thursdays close. December
was more active and scored the most
gains, rejecting an advance in the
same delivery in Liverpool. This was
due 10 better demand by millers for
choice supplies in both markets.
Buying in December also featured
the corn market, and fractional gain
was made at the opening. Deferred
months We're unchanged. Buy ing IN
the cash month was induced by the
strength in wheat, small export bust
ness and general belief that fair de-
iiyeries on December contracts would
be made before long.
December OATS opened strong. Buy
Ing was induced by wheat strength
and light receipts. Others were un-
changed.
Provisions were helped by sharply
higher hogs.

SHARP ADVANCE
SCORED BY HOGS
Shippers Prices Fail to OBJ
tain-CIoSe Lower,

An excessive advance Of 25 to 35
cents in the prices of hogs failed to
obtain in today's local livestock mar
ket and prices, after the first hour of
trading, receded slightly, making the
advance on the late market 20 to 25
cents. The early sharp upswing was
brought about by unusual activity of
shippers, but after their orders had
been filed, buyers for Kingan & Co,
refused to follow up the advance and
left the yards when traders declined
to accept lower bids on their stock.
AS a result, the market was at a
standstill for more than an hour, but
sales around 1890 o'clock were re-
ported at the prices established on
the decline, Early sales of heavies
at $735 to $7.45, were 25 to 80 cents
higher, but similar kinds later sold at
1925 to $7.35 Mixed hogs sold early
at 1925 to $7.35, an advance of 30
to 35 cents, but later sold at $715 to
1925 while lights. which had sold
early at $7.15 to S7.25, later moved
sales was registered between $40
and S725. Sows held steady at $3.50
down. but pigs advanced generally a
quarter at $6.75 down. Kingan buy
ers maintained that the advance was
out of line with other markets. The
days receipts touched 10000, inclusive
of 1877 hold-overs.
Light receipts of 700 in the cattle
market proved a steadying factor in
trading and prices were generally at
Thursdays best levels. The selec-
ton of stock was not large, but good
buying kept prices firm.
Prices for calves ruled firm at
$1150 down for choice veals. while
the bulk sold from $10.5O to $11. Re
ceipts. 500.
The sheep and lamb market was
only fairly active due to light re
ceipts of $50. Prices We're steady
with lambs at $3.50 down and sheep
at Sc down.
