Mo rirm.
CHICAQO , Dee , 12. There was a very
dull session In wheat ilurlng the greater
part of the day , but It closed with consider
able animation. ISnrly weakness pave place
to strength caused by better closing cables.
Compared with yesterday's closing prices ,
wheat Is \\c \ , corn He nnd oats a small frac
tion higher. Pork , lard and ribs were llrm.
Wheat opened nerveless and dull. There
tvoro sellers of May nt from C9'&c ' to DS'Ac ,
nnd few buyers at over G'JVfcc , nlthoiiRli one
"five" brculit ( C9c. The small business
was chiefly responsible for the dead heavi
ness , but some of It arose from the fact of
the principal shorts having covered yettordny
and left the open Interests conllned to those
who had Hold May wheat against their holdIngs -
Ings of cash nnd those who had bought
the name. The northwestern receipts were
lighter than of late , but still In excess of
those of the year before. The exports of
wheat from New York were fairly good ,
but none of the other Atlantic ports shipped
anything to tpenk of. Primary market re
ceipts were lighter than usual. The closing
cf the foreign markets , as reported by
Beerbohm'H cable , gave Liverpool U penny
to % penny higher , nnd the continental
markets as holding the gain reported of
them ut the openlnp. The price of May , which
had gradually worked ( town to from 59'/4c '
to Wc during the Ilrst hour , hud recovered
.ugnln by 12 o'clock to 69V4c , or to within
1-liic of the closing value. The market be
came strong In the last fifteen minutes of
the session. May advanced to from KCJic to
G3c , and that was Its value at the close.
The advance In corn and strength of clos
ing cables were the Incentives to the buying
which closed the market so firm. The
crowd In the corn pit was larger than for
some time back , and there 'was an apparent
nervousness among the traders. The small
receipts supplied the motive power for an
advance of % c , which was recorded for the
day. Only four cars of today's receipts
were of contract quality. New York re
ported six carloads of new corn taken there
for export. The most of the day'H advance
In price occurred In the last twenty min
utes of the session. May opened at 50c ,
sold nt Wic , nnd advanced near the end to
COHc , and closed at that.
The Interest manifested In the oats mar
ket was very meager and trading was
light and rather llrmcr. The range of
prices , Jiowever , was very light. May opened
at 32c , sold at 32c , and back to 32c , clos
ing at 32c.
The provision market was firm on some
diminution In the receipts of hogs and the
strength In corn. Hog receipts today were
34,000 head , and for tomorrow 37,000 head
are estimated. Pork advanced 17Hc , lard
V&c , nnd ribs from. 7'/&c to lOc. The highest
prices of the day's range were prevalent at
the close.

nnd 3 ! c to store through the winter.

2,200,000 has been withdrawn this week , but
lomo of that , It Is believed , Is for the pur-
lose of repaying the banks gold borrowed
or the purpose of paying the government
or the bonds. Some has been withdrawn
or the purpose of having It weighed to see
f It wns not too light for export. At the

HOGS The llsht supply today was In th (
nature of n continued surprise nnd the 10.0CK
falling off tills week , la dltncult to explain. Th <
quality of the hogs , however , was very good ni
a rule. Packers were not inclined to boon
prices any on account of the lighter rccelpti
and the market opened out slow , with prlcci
rather weak than otherwise. Later , under tin
Inllucnce of frea buying , n , rather firmer feellni
obtained , and , although the extreme close wai
weak , the general average of prices paid was i
shade to Co higher than Tuesday. Heavy hog :
sold at from 14.20 to i4.60 , and light and Ugh
mixed stuff at from $3.75 to J4.15. There was i
good demand for pigs at llrm figures , fron
(2.25 up to 13.70. There were quite a few In
ferlor light loads sHIl unsold nt the close
Oood weight loads sold largely at $4.15 to 14,35
us against 11.10 to M.SO'JTuesday and 14.25 ti

( Irixlrs of Cattle.
CHICAGO. Dec. 12. A fnlr demand existed
or the different erodes of cattle and there
ns a reasonably llrm set of prices. Most of
he supply went out of sellers' hands nt from
i2 to J2.75 for cows nnd heifers nnd nt from
to $ I.CO for stcern. Christmas steers were
juoteil nt from $ G to { 6.40 , though to' bring more
han l8. Vthc offorlnpw would need to bo super-
'ne. There was Inquiry for utockcrs nnd feoilers
t from 12 to $2.35 , nnd for'veal culves nt from
1 to $5.25.
Hog receipts were much lighter than expected ,
'ho decreased receipts nnd the llrmej- tone of
he market for hog products led to Incicnsed
Irmness. In Kplte of the soft weather und the
slackness of the shipping demand , sellers un-
oaded nt nn advance of from 5c to lOc. Common
.t > prime heavy grades were taken nt from $4.23
.o $4.C3 nnd poor to choice light nt from $1 to
4.33. Only a small part of the supply sold out-
Ide the limits of from $1.20 to $ I.C5 , the popular
irlce being from $4.20 to $1.30 for averages from
50 to 200 Ibs. nml from $2.35 to $4.33 buying
most of the heavier weights.
Although not nctlve , n fair business was trnns-
cte < l In the sheen maiket. Prices were veiy
uneven nnd averaged weak , but yesterday's ollt-
Idc quotations still held good. A gcodly number
if sheep were held over , nnd , with today's 13,000
liead , made the pens inther full. From $1.25 n
" 3.25 was paid for poor to choice sheep , nnd
'rom $2 to $1 for lambs. The majority of sheer
Hales were nt from $2 to $2.75 nnd the bulk of
le lambs brought from $3 to $3.75.
