It was A slowly developing wheat mar
ket, with the preference In favor of the
strong aide, despite the fact that tho Indi
cations as to weather were all favorable
for the breaking of the drouth. Armour'a
buying waa emphaaiseti l:i the May future,
with less than usual ardor In December, in
dicating to a large degree the eettlerhent of
that delivery, 'i he o'utide marke.g were
all stronger, Minneapolis and Duluth blaz
ing the way. M l ers, after holding oft for
some time, have spnarently decided that
If they want wheat they must met the
competition in the open market, and were
free buyers. From all quartfra came re
ports of the Immediate ending of the
drouth, snow and rain being predlrtel,
but this did not strengthen the portions of
the shorts, made nervous by the good
buying from millers and others, t'nder this
demand cash and December advanced "',
the future relllng in Chicago to 1.(9V
Minneapolis arlvnnr.d nearly fc and all
other markets were stronger. May was th
especial feature, advancing to Il.in. or a
full point higher. There waa a weak spell
midway In the short session, but this wis
displaced bv the show of strength at the
closing. July was c higher. In Omaha
prices were nominally steady.
COHN There was a general disposition In
all markets to look for lower prices for
thla staple. The weather waa the chief In
fluence. As a result it declined In Chicago
Jc for December delivery and c for May.
Buyers here representing Kansas City low
ered their bids materially. Farmers are
holding back corn for fietter prices, but the
receipts are large enough to break values.
May sold at 4VHi'!i4t.e. closing at 46c;
December closed at 47'4jO.

CHICAGO OR4IS AHB PROVISIONS
lea, .re. of the Trading: a. Closing
Prices oa Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. Dec. I. Official confirmation
of drouth damage In Ohio aa ahown by the
atate crop report emphas1nd strength in
wheat here today. At the close the May
delivery was up Sc. Corn l down Vn1.
Oata are off c and provisions lynlV-
Aa a result of bullish foreign news the
wh-at market opened firm with May up
Vi4e to Sc. at ll.l"i to 81.10V-i1.11. Among
the factora that created atrength abroad
were Indlcatlona of a -decrf-asr- in world's
shipments. For a moment, however, the
domestic situation appeared rather less bul
lish, snow having fallen In some sections
of the winter wheat country. Recelpta In
the northwest were also somewhat larger
than last week. In consequence mnny trad
ers, who were Inclined to Ignore foreign
conditions were quite liberal sellers e.irly.
The result was a reaction In prices. May
declining to I1.10H. But the weakness wa
only temporary, a rally quickly occurring
aa soon aa selling pressure nubslded. The
anxiety regarding the winter wheat crop
was Increased by the Ohio report, which
made the condition of growing wheat In
that atate 76. a loss of 11 points within
a month. Throughout the last half of the
aecslon nentlment in the pit waa bullish
and prices gradually advanced. The market
rloaed practically at the highest point of
the day. After touching 81.10a. May closed
at II.IOU&J.IOV Clearances of wheat and
flour wrre qual to 31.08 per 100 bu. Primary
recelpta were 993,!M) bu . compared with
976.000 bu. a year ago. Minneapolis Duluth
and Chicago reported recelpta of iCl cars,
against 7S0 lnsi week and 6.fi a year ago.
Expectations of large receipts In the near
future was the cause of persistent selling
of May and December corn, and notwlth
atandlng the firmness of wheat, the market
ahowed conalderable weakness. Another
depressing factor waa the excellent quality
of arrivals. Out of 373 cars received today
233 cars graded No. 3 or better and fix were
on contract grade. A revla.vl estimate by
the director of the weather and crop ser
vice of Iowa, showing an increase of 25.000,
OoO In the total crop of the state was an
additional bear Influence. May opened un
changed to a shade higher at 45rtiC to 4SVd
4fc, sold off to 45'c and closed at 45V'f
45c. Influenced by weakness of corn, a
bear raid was made on the oata market,
resulting In a moderate decline In prices.
May opened a shade to ,e lower, at 31 Vic to
81'4'fr31'c. sold between 30'c and 31V4c and
closed at 81c. tOcal recelpta were 79 cars.
Profit taking by some of yesterday'a buy
era caused an easier tone In provisions.
Prospects of lower prices for corn waa an
Influence contributing to the weakness. At
the cloae May pork waa off 7c, at 313.12
5il3.15. Lard and ribs were each down 2c,
at $7.17 and .82 respectively.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
76 cars; corn, 466, cars; oats, 92 cars; hogs,
44.000 head.

CATTLE There were a few bunches of
cattle here this morning, but no quotable
chango In the market took place. Por the
week receipts have been Just slightly In ex
cess of the same week of lust year, but aa
compared with last week there la a loss of
about 6,000 head. The demand from all
aourcea haa been in good shape and as a
result the general tendency of prices has
been upward.
Very few cornfed steers have been re
ceived this week, and moat of those thut
HM urrlvn wprn of the shortfed variety.
Anything at all desirable, though, changed
handa very readily at atrong prices, and it
ia probably , safe to quote the market on
such kinds iusjjuc nigner ior me weea.

have been more or lesa neglected and are
selling in much the same notches they
were a week ago. Good to choice steers
may be quoted from S5.76 to $6.26i fair to
good, $4. 9iXn 5 liel, and the warmed-up and
shorter fad kinds, 63.604.60.
Thera waa a marked decrease tills week
In the supply of western range beef steers
and as packers an neeaea supplies, com
petition was keen at stronger prices. In
view of the short supply packers bought
frsrlv cattle that a short time ago they
cluased as feeders. This, of course, brought
feeder buyers and packers Into competi
tion. The general marget can saieiy no
quoted 15c2!c higher than it was a week
ago, all kinds joining in the advance.
Good to choice grades may be quoted from
33.K5 to $5.00; fair to good, $3.405j3.75, and the
commoner kinds, mostly from 32.76 to S.4o.
Quite a liberal proportion of the receipts
last week consisted of cow stuff, but the
demand waa iuny equal to me occasion
and an active and strong market was ex-
naripnred on most days. The net gain
for the week amounted to 15&20c, the moat
Improvement being in the more desirable
grades. Canners nave not shown a great
eal of change in either direction for some
little time. Quite a few oornfed cows are
showing up in the receipts, but most of
ihom have been on feed but a short time
and consequently they are not much better
than choice grassers. Good to choice
conged cows could be quoted from IC.OO to
$3 75; good to choice grass cows, from $2.75
to $5.25; fair to good grass cows, $1.25 to
$2.75. and canners and cutters, from $1.50
t0Buils, veal calves and stags have shown
very little change for some time peat.
The demand for stockera and feeders of
good quality was brisk last week and a lit
tle In excess of the supply. At the cloae
of the week an advance of 10ft(2uc as com
pared with the cloae of the previous week
was noted, most of the Improvement being
on desirable grades. Good to choice cattle
may be quoted from $3.76 to $4.10; fair to
good I ' 50 to $3.76, and common to fair,
from $3C0 to $350. Repreaentatlve sales:

iirr:4 There was a liberal run of hnn
reported thla morning, but of that number
about alxty cars were billed direct to pack
ers so there were only about IiiO loads
actually on sals. The general market held
about steady and trading was active on
moBt of the early arrivals. It was notice,
able, however, that the demand was bast
for the lightweight hogs and in fact some
of the buyers would not even bid on heavv
packing grades. As a renult some of the
latter were left until the cloae of the
market, and they were very alow sulo
and 2c to 6o lower than the aame kinds
aold early. The bulk of the hogs sold from
$4 46 to $4.50, with a top at $4.55. The lata
sales, however, of heavy packers sold
largely from $4.40 to $4.46 and It was very
hard to get over $4.42Hi unless they were
prime. As salesmen did not like the idea
of taking off that much, the cloae was
rather slow.
For the week receipts of hogs have been
quit liberal there being an increase over
last week of about 9,000 head and aa com
pared with the aame week of laat year
there Is an increaae of about 13,000 head.
Parkers continued their heariah tactics the
early part of the week and on Wednesdny
and Thursday the average price here was
down to $4 42H. which is the low point ao
far this season. Packers seemed to Want
the hogs from that time on and cluslng
