CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Grains were
fractionally higher at the start OF
trading on the Chicago Board Of
Trade today.
Strong and sharply higher outside
markets. together with unfavorable
weather over the domestic belt, created
bullish sentiment in wheat trade at
the opening Buyers took hold cary
when cables showed a fractional up
turn at Liverpool and advances
scored in Argentine at the close
Wednesday.
Corn met good local buying
Strength in wheat was carried to this
market. Unfavorable weather also
played a feature role, Ohio. indiana

too much rain the past few daya.
Larger receipts than expected. how
ever, checked the early bullish sent
ment.
Oats displayed better speculative
demand, due 10 low prices and heavy
farm consumption. together with a
rapidly decreasing visible supply.
Provisions opened higher with nogs

DECIDED RECOVERY
Average Cost of Hogs IS Cts,
Higher-ReceiptS Light,

The average cost Of all good hogs
jumped Is cents in trading at the
local livestock market today as the
direct result of light receipts of 10000
and a strong demand for shipping
account. In isolated cases. sales
might have been as much az
20 or 25 cents higher, but the
general tenor OF the market suggested
fiat increase of Is cents. Accord
ngiy, the top was increased from 81
on Wednesday to S7.15 and lights
sold up from, though generally at
$3.50, compared with $6.75 up on
previous trading. Medium and mixed
hogs sold between $685. and $40,
according to weight and quality, while
the bulk of sales was made between
$500 and 81. compared with $6.75
to $3.50 on Wednesday. Sows re-
fected the general increase by selling
strong to % cents higher at $3.50
down, but pigs. due to lack Of com
petition, sold generally steady at
$3.50 down. The days prevailing
prices showed gains ranging from
25 to 35 cents over Tuesdays mar
ket and were the highest for more
than a week. The decided recovery
of the past two days has been direct
ly attributed to much lighter re-
ceipts locally.
Dullness again prevailed in the
cattle market in which trading was
at a slow pace and in which prices
continued to manifest weakness on
the common and medium grades of
offerings. A fairly large carryover
Wednesday left a goodly number of
cattle In the pens over night and
brought the days receipts to 1900
head or more.
Veal prices regained part Of the
