Chlc.nc" , Dec. S. Wheat was today con
verted from nn apparently hopelessly weiik
market to .1 strong one by the large world's
visible supply dtrieaso. May closed from
Vie to % u higher than yesterday's Html UK-
tires after having sold over lc below that.
Corn uilvanee-d He , oats did not clmnso and
provisions advanced from 2io ! to DC.
Mny wheat opened today at from * * c to
He below tlio price It cloned ill the day
before. The opening range of the prices
simultaneously paid In different pints of the
pit was ftom JsOu to .SO'.ic ' , with the bulk
of tiaiiHtieitlons at the lower llgurc. Tlio
opening London iind Llveipool markets
were heavy In tone at somewhat reduced
lU'lci'D ami the. o were the chief source of
the weak fi-cllng. which started trading
here. The fuel that stocks In Kuropu and
alloat Increased over lO.frVJ.WO bu. last
month was also n factor and the decline ,
which started with the opening , continued
until May touched 7i'Li ! > Then the sentl-
iiu-Mt changed and the tone of the maikct
iradtmlly ; Improved up to the time of the
receipt of Ilradsticet's visible supply state
ment , which waa expected to bo bullish ,
and JiiHtllled such anticipations. The day's
utatlstlcs nlHo furnished some encourage
ment. The ChlciiKO receipts were 63 cars ,
compared with 2i > 7 In thu corresponding
day of last year ; Minneapolis and Duluth
KOI 4 ! > 2 cars , against 1,239 a year ago. The
.Atlantic port clearances of wheat anil
Hour weio ctuul to 475.000 bu. A telegram
from St. Louis said that one-llflh of all
the No. 2 led wheat there had broil sold In
the lust twenty-four hours. The Until *
Mreel's llgures showed u total decrease In
tlm world's stocks of 4,9l7iK ) ) bu. On receipt
of that the price , which had mc.inwhllc
crept up to MJXc , rose to from 80e to
Mie , and after a. slight reaction to S0',4c '
It look a second Fpurt as high as Sle before
the effect of the big reduction In the
world's visible supply exhausted Itself.
Closing cables showed geneuil declines.
The general market , however , held Its ad
vance , May finally closing steady at from
kOio to Wtc.
There v as an unusually large trade In
corn. It was accompanied by no excitement
and prleea kept within a narrow range ,
being governed almost entirely by the vari
ations In wheat. May started He lower
at 2 < Jc. It Fold between 20'lc and 2.17&C and
closed sternly at from 20lic to 20''ic.
At the opening o.its were steady and re
mained so until the professional talent
from wheat and com came Into the mar
ket and by free selling caused prices to
decline and a weak ft-cling to exist. Later ,
however , under liberal buying and to some
extent through sympathy with wheat , there
occurreil a reaction , which recovered the
early loss and u slight fraction In the bar
gain. May opened a shade lower at 21Uc ,
declined to 21e , recovered to 21c , closing
ntoaily at from 2IUc to 21'sc.
Trading In provisions as usual was quiet ,
but prices were steady and changed but
little. Opening prices were slightly higher ,
helped by a firm live stock matket. This
was also thu Incentive for the good buying
which followed mid which held prices
pteady throughout the Hesslon , May pork

CATTLK Toduy'H cattle run wan slightly
above yesterday's record , but smaller than
a week ago by about ICO head. Of the
number reported In , 5S6 head were con
signed direct to packers , leaving barely
2,400 on sale. The proportion of cornted
cattle was much lan-er than usual.
A Rood many of tlio fat cattle on sale
were shortfcil HtulT , and while there were
some nrctty decent cuttle , there wus not u
single bunch of what would bu considered
real prime cornfed steara. The moat of the
cattle were such as are selling at J3.701fl.00.
Tlio market on fat cattle was slow and
druggy , and It was late before a clearance
was effected.
In butchers * stock there was more ac
tivity , and the moat of the cows and heif
ers sold In good season at prices that were
fully steady and In some cases strong.
Among the offerings there was one bunch
of cornfed heifers that was better than
anything seen here before this season ,
which brought 1.3. , . The stocker and
feeder trade wan also fairly active at good ,
steady prices. The country demand has
been of good proportions this week , and
supplies have been kept well cleaned up , so
that regular operators were In a position
to buy freely this morning and the olferlngs
for the most part changed hands In good
Heprcucntatlvc sales :

The market was decidedly In the favor of the
ellcrs nnd entirely sntlsfnctory to the Interests
epreiented by them. It opened lOc higher nnd
it-Id that way until the close , everything chang-
ng bunds early under the Influence of n very
rood demand. There weie quite a number of

erJay , when there were no light weights here.

gainst JJ.OOW3.10 yesterday. The medium weight
lid light loads brought J3.2ufil.30 , the top bing
So higher , owing to the absence of light hogs
n yesterday's market.
Today's advance carries the maikct to the
lUliHl point since Thursday of last week. It
s now about lOe higher than the close uf last
week , but still 20e lower than It WHS nt the
