CHICAGO , Dec. 3. Bull news In wheat ,
principally from abroad , came In with the
llrst dispatches In the morning nnd kept
coming along all day. Short sellers resisted
the early attempts cf the buyers to put the
market In line with the news , nnd for n time
were successful , but they were Jlnally routed
and the closing price for .May was nt nn advance -
vance of Uc per bu , , while December rose
Ho. Corn made the Insignificant gain of
He , oats advanced ttc , nnd provisions also
advanced a little.
The opening transactions In wheat were
nt a range cf from dOTta to C0e , with n grad
ual sagging tendency during the next two
hours , although foreign mnrkets were re
torted firm nnd the Argentine crop giving
n much poorer promise than the earlier esti
mates. Exporters were reported to hnvt
bought about 600,000 bu. of No. 2 red In New
York at out ports en Saturday'nnd to hav <
pnld 2o over the price of the December
future for some of It. They were also salil
to be again taking wheat freely In New
York this morning , nnd that made thai
market show more strength than did Chi
cago. The northwestern receipts were agalr
heavier than a year ago. That and the
prospect of a larger Increase In the visible
supply than had been generally looked foi
on Saturday had n restraining Influenci
upon the local bulls during the /orcneon
and when the" visible was finally disposed ol
tit nn Incernse of 1,215.000 bu. the nmrkel
quickly struck the higher plane. The sen'
board sent very bullish opinions. New Yort
wired that there wns a demand for frelgh
room for Liverpool nt 7'fcc per bu. The
wheat on. ocean passape Increased 1,328.00
bu. , and the visible supply decreased 1,420 ,
000 bu. Closing cables were very strew
nnd sci was the market here near the end
at which vlme about seventy * boat loadi
were the reported sales for the day at thi
seaboard. May opened Vo higher , at C0)4e

Aside from a firmer feeling and falt-loca
business , the oats market \KIUI devoid 'o
features. Huyuw orders possibly. exceede <
those to sell , and that , with a firmer'feelUii
in corn , .caused prices to go up slightly

The local butler market Is vcrj * weak and dull.
Receipts for the past week were large and re
ceivers have found It n dlfllcult matter to keep
stocks from accumulating. Chicago Produce
says of the butter .situation : November , It wouM
appear , has accomplished something In shape of
reducing stocks of butter In storage. The
coolers reported Friday motnlng but 42,000 tubs
cm Imnd , compared with 67,000 nt the opening nf
the nt'.nth , a reduction of 15,000 tub ] In thirty
days. Thro figures arc ofllclal , but a good many
people In the markist are dolnff a lot of figuring
to try and nrrlvc nt some Idea of where the
BooOs have beeT placed , So far ns the trade
knows there has hoen scarcely demand enough
for stwiiRc Rcodi to tnke 3.0.0 tubs. Ho far as
the locnl triulc Is concerned , It Is doubtful If It
took 1,00) tubs during the entire month. Of
course tie ; largest proportion of goods In storage
nt this point were held by outsiders parties nt
eastern points who came here nnd bought their
goods ami stntvd them In Chicago.
The show1 PR In eggs Is still more stnrtllnir.
If. ns Is given out , there are only 121,000 cases
left In the coolers nt Chicago , them has been a
gu d record made In consumption of storage eggs
through the mont'.i ns well. The trade wns
prepared for the announcement of n shnrp re.
duclUm In the stock of eggs , ns It wns known
that they were being pushed , but In butter the
disposition of 15,000 tulm during the month Is n
genuine furprls * . At the opening cf the season
there were close to 100.000 tubs held In storage ut
Chicago , nnd about 820,000 cases of eggs. Thp
stock of epgs wns leporltd rcducral to 219,000
cases nt tiio 1st of November.
Htocks of butter In coM storage nt Iloston the
2 < th Innt. , ns shown by the olllclnl figures , were
72.IWO pkKS. , compared with 94 , W ) one month agn
nnd 141,000. the highest paint of the season.
Stocks of stornie l-utter nt New Yolk nre esti
mated at' from SO.OOO to 33.000 tubs. One-fourth
of this Is June creamepcs , the bnlniice low
grade * . A month ngo there were 88,00) tubs.

Receipts toilny wpre 172 cars In nil , or
about nn nvernBe Monday's run. Of these
117 cnrs were entile , not nt nil n heavy run
for the llrst day of the week , and the gen
eral chnrncter of the receipts wns no Im
provement over lant week. The buoyant
tone that pervaded the market the Intter
part of InHt week was very much In evi
dence tcday , and with n good line of buyers
In the ynrda It was mighty poor stuff thut
could not he readily sold for n.10o . ' advance.
There wns nothing choice on sale , but fnlr-
Ish warmed up unlives , of which there
were several loads on sale , brought $3.25 to
$3.53 , and n bunch of very good fat rangers
brought $3.80. The movement WUH free and
a-comparatively early clearance made.
Cow stuff was In light supply and brisk
demand nt unevenly higher prices. One
buyer nld ho paid "all the way from steady
to a quarter Vtaher than Saturday. " The
average advance wan lOo to IGc , and eon-
lined Inrilly to fair to good stock.
Cnnners slrowed little Improvement. Veal
calves ruled slow anil weak , and bulls , stags
ar. < l rough stock generally a shade stronger.
Business In stockers nnd feeders wns not
on n very extensive scale , but prices , as n
rule , were firmer , with stlllers the principal
outside buyers. There was not much de
mand from the country , and low grade
stock cattle were more or less neglected.
GooJ to choice feeders are quotable nt from
$2,70 to $3.25 ; fnlr to good nt from $2.35 to
$2.60 , ami common grades from $2.25 down ,
