CHICAGO , Dee.21. [ Special Telegram to the
DBK. ] Tha bli/znrd appears to hnvo been
chiefly responsible for the strong und higher
open I in ; In wheat thin morning , and later the
news wus of a character to maintain a higher
level ami even to advance | > rlccH a little
worn. The New York market opened strong
and krpt strong nnd higher. The fact had
encouragement In It for bulli hero , as it was
thought foreign buying was chiclly rcsjion-
Bible for it. No war news was afloat , but thu
| Hlltlral situation in Europe IB much talked
about and Is not lost night of In speculative
.calculations. Two of the recent strong buy
ers of wheat were sellers to-day , but the mar
ket was strong enough to take thuir offerings
without dlfllculty. Much of the buying ap
peared to be by commission men whoso cus
tomers are the country speculators. May
whcut opened at Ke ) , which was i/c higher
than yesterday's close , and advanced imme
diately to Ml c and fluctuated between these
limits most of thu morning , but shortly be
fore the close advanced to 83 } e , fell to b.'Jj.fe ,
advanced to & . ' ! J5'o again and at the 1 o'clock
adjournment stood at S3'hi ' ; . Jiinuucv wheat
opened at 77J , c. hold at 77o and ij"4@77 > 'Bo
and closed nt 1140 lit 1 o'clock.
Thu cold weather seemed also to help the
corn mi.rket somewhat , although the opposite
I'lToot might have been expected because of
the better grading of grain. However , the
sharp fall lij tciipernture. with still colder
weather looked for soon , Is expected by thu
bulls to largely incicase the consumption of
porn and also to hinder its movement this way
by rail. Cables were better , quoting spot
corn in Liverpool'id higher and all futures
higher. Country speculators do not appear
to be doing much In corn Just now , and with
tlio market left largely to professionals fluc
tuations were not largo and the advance on
the morning's session was only moderate.
May corn opened nt 544e , which was 'jfc.
higher than yesterday's close , and the first
movement was downward. This was under
free offerings by a local house which has been
a heavy buyer of the grain and Is now sup-
| KH ( > < 1 to bu reali/ing profits. The price for
May dropped to KttMa ( and after n slight
reaction to M fe.VI , but after these offer
ings ceased , reuctcd , and toward the close
touched 5-lJic. The great part of Iho buying
which caused this advance was said to cover
short sales and the upward movement was
also greatly helped by the estimated receipts of
only IN ) cars for to-morrow , which was
considered small. Extreme prices were not
maintained , however , and thu 1 o'clock clos
ing was at M' ' . . 'VlJue. January corn opened
at 4 ! } . ! c. The low point was 4bHu nskcd and
the highest nominally 4 0 , the 1 o'clock
close being nominally 48c.
There was considcrablenetivity In the spec-
nlativu oats market t'iirly and tliuru were a
fair number of buying orders for May de
livery. After these were lllled , however ,
trade languished and fell to nothing towari
the close. May oats opened at & % v und most
of thu trad I UK was at that price and at 33 % @
! Uc , but Inter the price fell to 'U4C and the
1 o'clock close was at K\u. \ There seemed
to bu unlimited quantities for snlu at D
January oats were nominally 'lUJj'c.
In provisions trading was somewhat on a
slow order. Pork and lard opened with fair
speculative life , but parties selling these ar
ticles found the market stubborn and their
withdrawal was followed by a comparatively
quiet feeling. Kather close and general in
terest , however , was maintained , and as hog
receipts showed a material falling off a strong
undertone existed. Pork nt thu opening was
fully ViOu higher than last night's closing.
From the Initial price It ruled easier , but
subsequently recovered a good share of the
ground lost and closed some 12Mo higher.
Lard and short ribs fluctuated within u small
range and were without special change. .

the UEK.I CATTI.H Trade continued fairly
active , with : i gradual firming up on price-
on best and medium steers. Plain and com
inon arc not doing much better than las
week , yet there is no doubt that if the nn :
remains nt about its present volume n sharj
upturn must follow. Trains carry Texans
were late to-day , hence % crc was little or no
business in that line , and on account of the
non-arrival of Tcxuns the ordinary run of
iiatrro butchers' stock sold inoro readily and
perhaps n shadu higher. Shipping steers ,

that the run of yesterday , was only "u
shower" after all , as to-day the run wnssomo
10,000 less than yesterday , and ns a consequence
quence values advanced about as rapidly as
they declined yesterday , placing prices very
near where they were on Monday. The ad-
vunco was fully iSo over the lowest yester
day and in numerous instances the stock

FINANCIAL.
Nr.w YOIIK , Dec. 21. fSpeciul Telegram to
the HKE.I STOCKS Some sharp buying of
St. Paul and Northwestern this morning
caused a trifling advance , after which the
market settled down Intotliosumu old rut and
so remained. The total transactions up to
noon aggregated about 40,000 shares , lighter
business even than on yesterday. A fairy
tale was afloat that the Pennsylvania com
pany intended in the spring to reach out for
Kansas City and Omaha business by buildinsr
lines to both cities by way of Hock Island.
Western Union had a spurt to 77c. Its earn
ings warrant better figures for it later on.
The year of conventions is us good as a divi
dend to it , und there Is no end to thu business
In sight for the company during ISbS. The
earnings of the trunk lines bid fuirto increase
as the winter advances. The Lake Shore
could now employ half of its rolling stock in
carrying unthradtn coal alone. Kates are so
well maintained that every pound of freight
moved brings in a revenue. The western
lines that aiu now engaged in endeavoring to
run flfty-mllo-pcr-hour trains across pmliies
und side track freight * to sen the fun , can
llnd something worth pondering over when
they compare their yearly balance sheets
with properties like those of the Yaudcrbilis
ami the Pennsylvania. Husluc.ss dragged
on thu stock nxebango during thu afternoon
hours. Changes were unimpoitunt , excepting
In Hurllngton St Qniney , which wus some 'J
per enat higher than on yesterday. The
market seems to bo sulhclcntly oversold tc
enable the clique to engineer little spurts in it
from day to day. This will probably be the
case for tin ) balance of the week and may ox-
icnd Into the new year. On all rallies fet
sonic time to eomo , western stocks arc be
lieved to bu a sale for n turn. Chances or
the short side will bo safer limn to buy no *
for any advance. In time , if the cliques Jlwi
out that they arc tn get no outside support
may change their tactics , dussi > tucii
load and tr. > from n lower and more attract l\c
