WHEAT HAS A VERY WEAK OPENING
Cable Are Lower, lint Smnllne of
World' Shipment (n llu ro tt Act

1 Mnrket Close HlKhcr.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3D. Covering by short
to even up an oversold rrmrkot, which hntl
been brought about by a weakness follow
ing on early bearish conditions, today In
fluenced a sharp recovery In nil grains.
May wheat cloned ?c up, May corn 4fiyc
higher and May oats Ho ndvanced. Pro
vision closed 10f224c higher.
Wheat hnd a very weak opening. Cables
wcro lower, much more no than wa ex
pected In coiiBldcrntlon of the decllno hero
Saturday. Tho uimntlty of wheat on pas
sago wan Increased 232,0"X bUHhel and tho
northwestern primary receipts woro ma
terially larger than a year ago. Tho one
redeeming feature for tho bJlls wa tho
smnllncss of tho world'. shipments to
Europe. May opened 4ff4c lower at 8141P
solio and at once sold down to 80,ylu'80ic.
Tho early selling was heavy and every
thing offered at tho low prices wbh ab
sorbed. When thn small decrease wan re
ported In the vlslblo Biipply and tho ex
port clearances appeared of considerable
proportions shorts began to cover In such
a mnnncr that It seemed apparent that tho
market hud been oversold. There was
aome rumor that a conslderablo short lino
was being oovered for F. 11. I'cavey, tho
elevator magnato who died hero today.
This covering, which begun oidy half an
hour beforo the close, soon sent May to
KUc. Small protlt-tnktng brought a slight
reaction und May closed strong, -io up, at
824c. Local receipts wcro 49 cars, nono of
contract grade; Minneapolis and Uuluth
reported MS cars, making a total for thn
threo point of 912 cars, against Sin last
week nnd 677 a year ago. Primary receipts
were lCHdu bushels" compared with 792,0m)
bushels last year. Seaboard clearances In
wheat and llour equalled tJ),0(io bUHhdls.
Tho seaboard reported 35 loads taken for
export. World's shipments wero ti.OSI.ouo
bushels, against fi.'JsS.uoo bushels last week.
Tho vlslblo supply decrease wua 157,000
bushels.
Corn played a following gntnn with
wheat most of tho day. Cables wero lower
and May had a weak opening. Most of tho
early selling aslot from the wheat sym
pathy was Influenced by the cables, Homo
of tho heaviness was duo to tho expecta
tion of heavier receipts and to the Im
pression that the demand from feeders was
abating as a result of the milder weather.
The cash situation was rather tame. Tho
accumulation of largo short lines on tho
wenkness, ns In wheat, led to the lata re
covery. May sold up well after the early
decline and closed llrm at Vic down at
fifi'iC. Receipts wcro 178 cars,
Oats opened lower with other grnlns and
ruled dull throughout tho day. Tho ruugo
w.m narrow Commission houses and ele
vators wcro sellers at the start, Later n
good deal was reinstated after the advance
was pretty well under way, May sold up
to 45ic and closed firm, w up, at 43140.
Itecelpts wero 173 cars.
Provisions opened llrm on light receipts
nnd better prices at the yards stimulated
tho trading. Early grain weakness Inllu
enced some profit-taking, but on tho Into
strength In cereals provisions advanced
again. May pork closed 22!e up at $17,124,
May lard 12Hc h.gher at U0.20 anil May
ribs 19o higher nt 8.92',$.
Estimated receipt for tomorrow: Wheat,

CATTLE There Wll n irnnd nviirnini ull, 1
ldy of cattle hero today, and, as the demand
was also In good shape, the market ruled
active and steady to strong prices were
jmloWor ull deslruble grades of beef cattle.
Buyers wero out early nnd rode fast, so
that tho bulk of the offerings was out of
first hands In good reason.
There wero quite a few beef steers In
cluded in tho receipts this morning and
somof them were of very fair qunllty.
Packers took hold In good shnpo und tho
mnrket could safely be quoted strong and
active. Even the short-fed cattle sold with
out dllllculty at fully as good prices as
wcro paid last week and tho market soon
came to a closo for lack of cattle to sell.
The demand for cow stuff was also of
liberal proportions and tho prices paid
looked strong as compared with those In
forco nt tho closo of lust week. Tho de
mand was general for nil grades and In
cluded canncrs nnd medium grades, as
well as the choicer kinds.
Bulls of good quality also met with ready
sale ut goofl strong prices nnd the samo
could bo said of veal calves and stags.
There wero only a few Blockers and
feeders on sale today nnd anything ut all
desirable was' picked up at an cany hour
at strong prices. Tho demand for the cattle
showing flesh and quality Is larger than
tho supply, but the' commoner grades and
thin cattle nro not wanted to any grout
extent and tho market cannot be quoted
much moro than steudy cm thut class of
cattlo. Representative sales:

1IOUS There wns not n particularly
heavy run of hogs hero today, so that "oil
ers had a good opportunity to put on a
little. The ndvance, however, wns very
uneven, nnd whllo some sales looked 10o
higher and In some cases more, other fcnles
did not seem to be nny more than steady.
The market, however, was active and tho
bulk of the offerings wns soon disposed of.
The' mnrket could, perhajis, best be de
scribed by culling It close to a dime higher
than Saturday's general mnrket. The bulk
of the henvywclglit hogs sold from $6.60 to
$0.75. Medium weights wont mostly 'from
$6.30 to $6.60, and the lighter lends sold from
$6.30 down, Thero wns but little change In
the market from start to finish, nnd the
pens wero cleared by the middle of tho
forenoon, Representative snles:

SHLLP There-wns n fair run of sheep
nnd lambs here today, nnd nlthough Chl
cngo wns rejiorted 10J16c lower, the mnr
ket nt.thls point was very nctlvo and
stronger prices were paid. It was very
evident tnnt pnekers were unxlous for
supjilles, nnd there did not seem to bo
enough on snle to meet their demnnds. All
last week tho supply was not adequate to
the demnnd, so that pnekers are hungry
for both sltep nnd lambs. Thero were no
strictly prime lambs offered today, so that
the sales below do not show the full
strength of the mnrket.
Thero were not enough feeders on nln
to mnkn n teat of the market, but It Is very
plain thnt tho demnnd Is Improving
