CHICAGO, Dee. IS. Disquieting report!
o( an Imminent clash between Russia and
Japan, together with heavy ex purl sales,
caused active buying of wheat tier today.
As a result the market ruled at rung. May
cloning ao higher. May corn waa up c,
ont were Ho higher, while .provisions
clueel steady.
There waa an unusual Interest In the
wheat pit and a very strong market. A
dumber of factors en If red Into the situ
ation of a nature to create anxiety In the
minds of shorts and the buying from this
Source was of a good character. A marked
reduction In the number of ears received
at Minneapolis and Duluth, steady cables
and unfavorable weather conditions In Ar
? en tine Were early Influences that tended
o create a bullish sentiment among trad
ers. The opening on May was a shade to
Hfe'o higher, at 81 He to SISyijSISc, and
fiotn the lima the first sale was mads un
til the final tap of the bell prices showed
constant tendency to advance. A cable
gram from Argentine to a local firm stated
that there had been frosts In the southern
portion and that the damage to wheat
was estimated at 'tit per cent, . A little
later In tha session a rumor waa circu
lated on the floor that Japan had declared
wsr upon Russia, and although this re
port wss denied, a big decline In consols
and Japanese securities In London was an
added Incentive to Hie crowd and the buy
ing became general. Advices from the
southwest to the effect that many com
plaints Were coming in of Insufficient
moisture and unfavorable conditions In
the southwestern and southeastern sec
tions of the winter wheat belt were taken
as Indications of a possible shortage next
year. In addition to these Influences the
export business st the seaboard contrib
uted further strength lata In the day,
event y boat loads being reported taken
lor shipment. Closing prices were close
to the top. May being t higher at
(rttc, after selling at a. Clearances of
Wheat and flour were euual to 614.WU bu.
Primary receipts were 640K) bu., compared
with 679,000 bu. a year tiro. Exports of
wheat and flour for the week aa reported
by Bradstreets were 1.163.000 bu. Minne
apolis, Duluth and Chicago report receipts
of & cars, against 499 last week and tot
year ago.
Corn had a firm undertone, but the
YOlum of trading was small. There
earned to be a little corn wanted by scalp
ers because of the predictions of stormy
ether. - roor roads would embarrass
country movement, which has picked up
some of late. Late In tha day the market
was influenced by the heavy export sales.
2f boat loads being reported taken for
hlpment. There was some selling through
out ths day by small holders, but the ma
lorlty of traders were Inclined to favor
tn duii side. Alter opening uncnangea
to Ho higher, at 43Hr4.tHc, May aold be
tween 13 Wo and IKbU'M. closing at 48ic.
Local receipts were 108 cars, with 1 of
contract grade.
Bhorts were the best buyers of oats and
the selling was largely by short sellers.
The strength In whest was tha principal
Influence that brought the demand, al
though small receipts and a good ship
ping business helped to support the mar
pet. May opened a shade lower to a shade
higher at 9tffMe, ranged between KHc
and tf'A'tia, closing at SUVaSTc. Local re
ceipts were 74 cars.
Tha provision market waa governed al
most exclusively by the situation at the
Jards. Uberal receipts and a decline of
Oo were early factors that caused some
Selling by packers, hut later In tha day
a steadier tone developed In hogs and
provisions gained part of the early loss.
Tha close was steady, with May pork So
higher at 111.80. May lard was unchanged
t Ifi T74 and ribs were ' a shad lower
at 88.27.

SHEEP There were a few mora sheep
hers today than arrived yesterday, but still
the supply of good stuff was none too .large
to meet the requirements ot the local trad-.
Some western yearlings sold as high a
M UH. but they were good. Fed stuff is of
food quality and handy weight also sold
ully steady, but the commoner kinds, and
especially heavy, wethers, wera slow and
hard to sell at (any price. The good stuff
may be quoted fully steady for the week, i
but heavyweights and part fat and common i
kinds are slow and lSiji&o lower. I
- There were only a few feeders on sale (
this morning and they brought steady 1
prices If at all good. There has been very ;
little change in fact all the week, as the
demand for desirable grades has been fully t
equal to tne supply, wnilo common cinas
are dull and weak..
