CHICAGO CBAI.M AND PROVISIONS "". Features of the Tradlns; and Closlns; Prices on Board of Trade. CHICAGO. Dec. 18. Wheat developed strength today, largely as a result of as sertions that Oreat Britain and France were taking radical measures to provide more ocean freight room lor grain. Clos ing prices, although nervous, were H4c to P4U'1 net higher, with December at $1.174 and May at $1.11V The finish in corn was irregular, c off to o up, and for oats was at H'-n'o to Ho decline. Provisions closed unchanged to an . ad vance of 15c. Possibilities of a big increase in the United States visible supply total on Monday led at one time to a moderate setback for wheat prices, but the effect was not of the lasting ort. The amount of the enlargement appeared to depend chiefly on whether or not account was taken of Buffalo stocks afloat. Cold weather had a Dearish influence on corn. Deferred deliveries, though, re sponded later to the strength of wheat. Oats suffered In value owing to reports that in the east the offerings of Cana dian oats were cheaper than the domestic Provisions hardened In price owing to recent big shipments of meats and lard. Only passing notice seemed to be given to announccmet that hog arrivals here for the week were the largest on record.

Good to cholco steers, especially, have been neglected and it takes very choice yearuugs to bring $9.u0. The fair to medium cornfeus have, if anything, sold a liltle more freely than the belter grades, packers apparently havmg a do maiid for cheaper grades of beef, but Uiey too have tased ott ana are at the low point of the season to date. Cows and heifers, largely on account of the intluf of common to medium beet steers, suffered a seveere reverse, be ing 8oa6uc lower, which means that they too are the lowest they have been thus far this season. Stockers and feeders were a little more active at the beginning of the week and good grass feeders are perhaps no lower than at last week's close, but the general run of stockers and feeders coming for ward is generally a little lower, which means that that kind of cattle is also the lowest of the season.

Both shippers and pack ers apparently wanted everything in sight, and a good share of the offerings had been cashed by 9 o'clock or shortly after. Towards the close, however, prices weakened off. The early life died out of the market and it was impossible to get prices that were better than steady with yesterday's general market, while sellers who had light hogs found that steady bids were scarce, and in most Instances had to accept prices that were weak to a nickel lower. As was the case yesterday, the extreme close was the lowest spot. Several loads of light hogs, as well as some butcher weights, were still unsold at a rather late hour. What bids were put out at this time looked a nickel or more below yesterday, and even then packers did not seem at all anxious to get the hogs. The big end of the hoars moved at a strong nickel advance, while the close was skiw and a nickel or more lower than yesterday's average, clearance not being very satisfactory at that. Most of the early sales landed at $6.40$cS.46 with a sprinkling at $ti.S&. and quite a few of the later ones dropped to $0.26, with some below that. A number of loads sold as high as $6.60, tha day's top. Prices paid for the bulk of the hogs today were anyway 10il6c higher than last Saturday, although some of the light hogs looked little If any hltiher than at last week's close. It has been a very uneven week all around, for while heavies were consistently wanted, lights were variable, selling right up In the bulk one day, only to be almost unsalable the next. On the whole. It Is not safe to ex pect very much from the light stuff, as It Is pretty sure to be plentiful right along. Bo far, good light hogs have sold ss well ss could be desired, hut anything that isn't good is overlooked. Representative sales: No. Si... 56... 71... W... 71... kl .. U At. . .164 Sh. ft.

Its SHEKP Brisk demand for the good light and handy weight lambs featured the last week's trade, while the half-fal. 111 well as heavy grades, were more or less hard to move all through the week. Duality for the whole week was nothing to brag on, too many of the unfinished In-between kinds showing up. Receipts were on the unerai oraer, neing unusually heavv fcr this season of the year, but in spite of this good lambs of light or me dium welphts round a ready outlet all week at prices trat were fully steady at Monday's advance. Quality of Friday's run was the best of the week, and prices on the good lambs looked anyway lotioc above the nominal quotations last Friday and a flat quarter above Thursday of last week, which was practically the last n arket oay or tne week. L u deairabl grades have teen slow movers, but look strong to in spots hel6a up for the weak. The week's top of $9.06 paid yesterday was me uignesi price toucnea since All USt Ewes opened the week on a good, stromr basis, but suffered a slump Wednesday that araouniea 10 lvgibc, una in spots s quarter, and while trade showed a good strong tone for the balance of tha week prices did not entirely recover from the break, altnougn yesterday's sales looked about steady with a week ago.
