WHEAT, COM AND OATS GO HIHER lpecnlntlnn on Hoard of Trade Tnilny Vtns Snch n to Hecnll Grcnt Transaction of I'n lit. CHICAGO, Dee. 4,-Speculallon on the Board of Trado today was. such ns to re call tho great transactions of Hutchinson, Cudahy, Kent, fleam and tho other giants who ruled tin pits and swung prices for fortunes every sosslon. Hull enthusiasm mirh as has not been noon often In lain yearn had possession of tho markets, and In splto of heavy sol line for profits every pit closed strung. December and May wheat both closed lV(JHc up. December corn mjrlM: higher. May corn 1 Via up, snd May oats lViftlHo higher. Provisions closed logavi" advanced. Transactions In wheat woro on a sealo that Indicated thn western country was thoroughly nruiisod to tho situation. Thn slight 30g nt yesterday's close following yesterday's oarly buoyancy attracted buy ers overywhoro. lloth primary nnd north western receipts were reported rupldly de creasing. The cable list did not respond to yesterday's sag and later cables showed a marked Improvement. Temptations to tako profits Induced many holders to real ize, but with tho enthusiasm that seemed to prevail on all hands early sellers sotfu became tho best buyorn. The countryman was practically In control of tho market. (Outsldo, markets responded rapidly to very billlsli Incentive nnd this strength was again reflected here. Flour at Minne apolis advanced 10c. Dry weathor In the southwest was reported damaged tho win der crop and nows was constantly arriving; that wheat was being fed to stock. With nil theso Influences trade showed a steady advance. December opened y2c up, sold to 7riV4U7f4o nnd closed strong, lNfflVio higher at 75',ifi7Bic. May opened HSf'o to 'iic up and sold to 79ic, closing strong, lHtllVin higher at "DVic Local ro celpls woro ilfty-llvo cars, nono of con tract grade; Minneapolis Riid Duluth re ported "43 cars, making a, total for thn three points of 70.1 cars, against 1,036 last week and 649 a year ago. Primary receipts wero 654,000 bushols, compared with 742,000 bushels last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled only 1S9.UO0 bu. Corn lent Its shu.ro of activity to the gen eral strength. Tho buying was of general character, with shorts covering and a good daoiand present from tho outside. OfforlngB at times xwero very light. Wheat Activity Influenced this pit greatly and light, unsettled weather brought on a bull campaign. Trado was not heavy, hut the markot was under a constant nervous train. Country buying orders were lib eral. December, which opened Vi'SH0 higher on good cables, advanced to 63io and closed strong, l'd'iJl'io up, nt 63WH WHo. May opened uncliangcd to sc higher, sold to thn new record price of fi"Ho and closed strong, lHo higher, at 67c. tteoelpts wero 103 cars. Oats had a strong hull market all tho session. Prices were higher to start and, based on light offerings, scanty receipts and a good, cash demand, constant ad vances wore made. Shorts: showed constd erablo anxiety to cover and bullish specu lation did tho rest. Trado was heavy on outside orders, with countrymen as tho firlclpals. Shippers wero nil buyers on a arge scale. May opened i,c to a higher, sold to a now record nt 45',lc and closed strong, lfilVjG up at 451f46lc. Hecelpts wero only 97 cars. A good country demand for everything on tho provision list held hog products strong. Grain atrongth helped materially , v nd bullish speculation nldod In thn ad vance.

Dec. l.-Tlm stock market nriened with a linn lone today nnd gathered considerable strength. Tho general senti ment among the speculative community Is 0110 of satisfaction over tho contents of th president's message and over thn tono of the comment upon that .document in the press. The recommendations of thn secre tnry of tho treasury looking to reform in the banking currency wete nlso viewed with rntlsfHctlon In the financial district 1'ho steadier tono of Amalgamated Copper removed an extremely disturbing luMileure. The trading ill Amalgamated Copper was still on a Inrgo scale. The stock nearly touched the low record established yester day for it moment during the morning, but tallied strongly during' the latter part of tho day and closed with a net gain of 21. The renewed break In the Loudon copper market was Ignored. The fact that no en gagements of gold wrie made for export tomorrow served to tolleve some apprehen sion that tho money supplies would grow stringent by drain to thut quarter. Tin? banks havo lost to tho siibtrejisury already upward of J.VWOO this week. Including the p.iymcnts for the gold exported on Tuesday. Application has already been mndo for the withdrawal of $3,ii,(ioo of government bonds on deposit to serum na tional bank circulation, which Is the maxi mum allowed for the month. It Is evidently Intended to offer these bonds for redemp tion. Tho eagerness of tho banks to with draw theso bonds nnd In consequence to re duce their circulation Is cvldenco that tho premium offered by thn government for tho redemption of tho bonds Is the Im pelling motive, rather than tho needs of tho money market for additional supplies, Thn monthly statement of the money In circulation In tho country by the Treasury department shows an Increase of nearly $5,000,000 during November, in splto of tho $18,000,000 of gold exports and a slight de crease in thn national bank clroulatlon. Anxiety over the money outlook was. Jherefore. not In evidence today. The most notablo points of strength In the day's market wero among the Gould stocks, led by Manhattan, which rose an extreme 4"n. This stock served as a starter In tho gains In the traotlon group. Now York Central was conspicuously strong, ns was Penn sylvania. General Electric rose 3;. Thero were many gains of 1 to 2 points In thn southwrsterns. Grand Trunks, coalers anil Industrial::. Tho transcontinental stocks and United States Steel wero lagging In tho ndvancc. Great Northern preferred lost 1'4 and Northwestern 6V4, with a rally of :l. Tho market closed slightly Irregular, but near tho top for many stocks. Speculative bonds wero strong, but there was Irregularity In tho gencrnl list. Total sales, par value. $2,765,000. United States refunding 2s advanced U nnd the 3s, regis tered, U. Tho Commercial Adcrtlsor's London financial cablegram says: Thn stock mar ket today wns Idle anil Irregular. Consols hardened to 91 13-16. although tho murkut In talking about a 40,(n).ooo Issue In Jan uary. Americans were neglected. President Roosevelt's mild nltuslous to trusts In his mcesngu reassured but failed to attrack buyers. The market Is still overshadowed by thn copper situation. American shares opened around parities, eased off slightly and then upon Pacific advices Improved on New York's afternoon support, nnd Pennsylvania, Louisville & Nashville and Erie, owing to New York cders. stif fened on tho curb nfter the closo of the exchange.

Both packers and feeder buyers seemed to be anxious for supplies nnd ns the re ceipts wero not very hoavy trading was more active than It has been for the last few Cays. Offerings of good to choice corn-fed steers were limited this morning, so that buyers were out early and paid steady to strong prices for the kinds that suited them. The commoner grades and halt-fnt stuff, however, did not sell any better than they did yesterday nnd packers were very Indifferent buyers. A few of that class of cattle nre selling for feeders, but not many of them. The demand for cows and heifers was In much bettor shape today than yester day and thn better grades could be quoted strong and active. The medium kinds and ennners nlso sold freely, but no particular change ftom yesterday was noticed in'tho prices paid. BjIIs, veal calves unci stags were also ready sellers at good steady prices where the quality was satisfactory. Tho supply of stockers and feeders wns limited again today and as speculators hnd but few cattle on hand this morning they were all looking for fresh supplies. The heavyweights and prlnio stockers wero In the best demnnd and prices Improved some what, Tho demand from the country for that class of cattle lias been In good shape all the week and fully equnl to tho supply. Common grades of stock cattle of all weights are neglected.

The mnrket opened a. big 6c higher on tho bettor grades with the bulk of the heavyweights selling from $5.95 to $6.00. The butcher weights sold largely from $5.90 to $5.95, nnd the llrht hogs went from $5.90 down. As usual, tho lighter weights were very slow sale nnd wero left until the Inst end of the mar ket. Packers nil wanted the heavyweights, but tho light hogs they were not nt all nnxlous for, and as n result that class nt hogs sold very' unevenly, though ns a rule the prices were better tiinn yesterday. Toward the close of thn market prices tlrmed up considerably and packers bought tho hogs ns fast as they were unloaded. The last end of tho mnrket could bo quoted 5fI10o higher than yesterday, and active. Tho Improvement was general on both light and heavy hogs, so thnt an early clenrnnco wns made.
