CHICAGO , Dec. H. Wheat looked for n
time today IIH If It were ngnln going below
ll-.o SOc murk. Uut the surprising decrctiBo
In the world's visible supply changed lite
tiKpict of nlTalrH. May closed nt nn nil-
vunuo of HU1 for the day. The other mar
kets were dull hut Bluntly. Corn advanced
from ' , ie lo Vie , oals lie und provisions
fr > m 2',4c ' to 7V4c.
Wheat had a weak opening anil during
the Hist hour showed n full 'He hclow
thu close Saturday. Hut the season of
weakness was brief , lllack sen HhlpmentH
of wheat for the week amounted to about
DftO.OOO bu. The shipments from this side
won1,223,000 bu. , making n total of nearly
lo.oon.cuo Im. This In Itself was Htilllclent
to cause u weals opening , but Liverpool
lig'iln ' Hhowpil IndliTemice , nltlioiiKh this
wns probably the result or the Illaek sea
llgurcH , and the consequence was that
May wheat , which closed Saturday nt
ftutn Mllie to SO'hC , opened today at from
Mi'te to Mljc ) , and sold almost Immediately
ut M'e. ' That , however , Was the lowest
jtlee of the day. One of the first things
to arrest the dec-line and change the tone
of the market was direct cables from Ar
gentine reporting unfavorable weather and
Hinting that the yield would be poor. The
vl'lbliHttpply soon liognn to attract at-
tcntlnn and one early feature of It wns
considered so bullish as to complelely ob
literate the effect of Hie enormous world's
imports. Hurfalo stocks were generally t x-
pected to show all Increase of lf,0ii,0u ( ) bu. ,
nnd they actually proved lo have decreased
101 MX ) bu. Thai , of course , caused an
Immediate radical revision of the tstlmntcs
of the visible supply and caused the price
lo rise persistently until about 11:3) : o'clock
It WIIH up to MTc , or within He of 'Je. per
Im. advance from the lowest point made
nt ( he opening. Northwestern rtceipts had
but llttli' lnlliicncc today. Mlnucapulls
nnd Ijuliith r < ported 801 cars , compared
with l.OIX cars last week and 1.323 cars
last year. Chicago received in ears , against
'j cars hist week and 221 cars last yem.
The decrease In the world's visible supply
was dually reported at 2,02.\OJO bu. Last
y. ( ar there was an Increase of over 3dM,000
l.ti. The decrease was more than 1,000'JOO
bn. than was expected and lent addi
tional strength to the market. After n
reaction to Slc , May advanced again
lo Kilte , where It was quoted nt Ihe close.
Corn was steadied by the enormous busi
ness done at the seaboard late Saturday
101 loads. The opening was weak In "sym
pathy with wheat , but .soon recovered the
slight decline. Trade at no time wns ne-
llve and lliicluallons wore narrow In con-
Hciini'iico. May opened a shade lower at
from L'-Vic to 2..Tc ( and advanced to from
Me to 2fie ! ( , where It closed.
Oats were rather i-.isy early on account
of the liberal receipts and a heavy cash
market. Under liberal covering by shorts ,
Induced by the llrmness of wheat and vis
ible supply decrease of 933 OiK ) bu. , the mar-
KI l advanceil and closed llrm at the toji
prices. Mny opened l , c lower at 20c and
advanced to and closed at 20-ViC bid.
Provisions were llrm at the opening nt
a slight advance , due to the much smaller
receipts of hogs limn expected. The weak
ening of prices al the yards cinised the
mnrket to fall off somewhat , but the weak
ness lasted but a short time. Ueporls of
extensive hog cholera In Iowa caused a
second advance and the market closed
steady nt about the opening IlKiire- . May

RICHAKD A. McCURDY , President ,
Who will pay that mortgage
on your home if you die before
It's lifted ?
A life insurance policy will
do it , and the cost to you is
only the annual premium paid
to the company. It is like pay
ing a little extra interest on
your mortgage to insure its re
lease if you die.
The resources of the Mutual
Life of New York exceed the
combined capital of all the na
tional banks of New York City ,
Chicago , Boston , Philadelphia ,
St. Louis , Cincinnati and Balti
more.
A duty delayed is a duty
shirked. Let a man convinced
of responsibility secure adequate
protection and at once.
INSURE NOW
* * IN THE
MUTUAL LIFE.
A Policy of Insurance in the
Mutual Life is the quickest
asset vou can leave.
