CHICAGO, Dec. 6 -An advance of over lc net In the price of May wheat was caused today by the extensive buying of a leading bull. The market closed near the highest point of the day, final quotations on May being up IfelV. Corn was up (frc. Oats showed a gain of. c. Provisions were 2 c higher. The wheat market was strong Ps almost U entire session. Influenced hy higher prices at Liverpool and by atrial: receipts In the northwest, the market opened firm, with Mav up o to 'h'Hc at 89iS9c. During the flrst hour there wss moderate buying by pit traders, but upon the an nouncement of large deliveries on. Decem ber contracts the same traders became sellers. The result was a considerable re action, which carried the price of the May option down to 88a. The market then rallied sharply and throughout the re mainder of the session sentiment was ex tremely bullish. The upturn was mainly due to persistent demand from the leader of the bulls, who took all offerings of May that were In sight. Total purchases of this option by this one trader are estimated at over 2,000.000 bushels. Although the strength resulted chiefly from this demand, a number of factors augumented the bull ish feeling. Among these wero liberal clearings at the seaboard and the strength of cash wheat at the principal grain cen ters In the United States. For May the highest point of the day was reached at 9oe. The market closed strong, with May at (Or.. Clearances of wheat and flour were equaj to 621,000 buahels. Primary receipts were 722.000 bushels, against 671.000 bushels a year ago.- Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 243 cars, against Cm cars last week and 7 cars one year ago. Moderate demand fnom commission houses . and shorts created a firm tone In the corn market. The light movement from the country and the poor grading of local re ceipts also lent strength to the market. The continued demand from exporters fur nished additional encouragement to bulls. The market closed Arm; May opened a shade to (6o higher at 45545c. sold between 45Sj46e and 45c and closed at 4f4c Local receipts were 136 cars, with none of contract grade. Active general demand caused strength In the oats market. Offerings were com paratively light and came largely from local longs. Enormous clearances reported at the. seaboard formed the basis of the urgent ' demand. May opened a shade to Utlfec higher at 32fi.'Ttc sold between S12Si'532g and STISiC and closed at 334j33Vc. Ixx-al receipts were 106 cars. Provisions were a trifle Busier early in tbo session as a result of sales by a local packer. On the decline, however, there was A good demand, especially for lard. In con sequence the market became firm, small gains being shown at the close. Strength of the grain markets was a bullish factor. At the close May pork was un ?4o at $1.V0.

MARKET ADVANCES AT SPECIAL POINTS Floetaatleas Are XarrOw aad Vol a a a of Treasactlens la Below the Averaajo cioslac Tas Is Weak. NEW YORK, Dec. 6 The conspicuous feature In the stock market continued to be the great variety of different Issues In which business was recorded, rather than the great bulk of the aggregate . trans actions. Advances at speclsl points also were more notable than the upward "movo nient In general. There were many prom inent market leaders. In fact, which moved narrowly ail day and in which the volume of dealings was rather below th-t above the normal. Nevertheless, the speculative spit It was very much alive and diligent In making ventures upon even the slightest suggestions calculated to di rect llj There were occasional pauses In the violent advancing tendenoy which were pretty closely coincident with the par oxysmal advances In the rail money rate. The spurts In the money rate seemed to have the effect of simply checking opera tions until the lata flight to 25 per cent weakened the whole market. There was no evidence of an enforced liquidation caused by extensive calling of loans and shifting of accounts. It seemed to be U10 determination of speculative operators to pay their rates for money demanded and to await the clearing up of the money putloon withcut sacrificing their holdings. It wan very obvious that steady realising had been conducted throughout at some very Important points In the market. This was especially true of Union Pacific, which was steadily fed to the msrket at a frac tional advance over last night and which made the highest price of the day immedi ately after the opening. There was the same tendency manifest In the United States Steel stocks and Reading also "owed the effect of a similar process. Added Jo this was tha effect of profit taking In some of the specialties which have risen most violently ln the recent trading. Vague rumors of mergers con tributed a large Influence In this class of speoulatlon. Iad, the Southern Iron .?ck,an1 the Junior Vanderbllta were all subject of such rumors, none of which was new ln any particular. The relapse in lead was especially violent, and New York, Chicago and St. Louis, which again lead the Vanderbilt movement, lost all of its sensational gain on the reaction. The declaration of only the regular dividend on American Smelting deprived that stock of one cause of stimulation ln the rumors o;.' promised Increase In tha dividend. The Gould group of railroads were dis tinctly strong, In sympathy with one an other. The list of substantial leaders which shared In the day's advances was small, however. Amalgamated Copper had the advantage of another advance In the price of copper. The day's subtreaaury figures showed the loss of the banks to that institution since Friday swelled to $3,125,000. yester day s transfer of $1,000,000 being Included. New York exchange at Chicago rose to 25 points premium from yesterday's 10-cent rate Ip response to the Increased demand for money here. Foreign exchange was less affected In spite of the realisation in rprelgn money markets, but exchange ratas yielded during the day. Speculative dis cussion of the money outlook dwelt upon the certainty of the greater ease of money to be expected In January, whatever may be the course ln that market between now and the end of the year. The pressure to realise Incrased conalderably In the stock market towards the end of the day and carried Union Pacific a point under last night and many other prominent stocks a fraction. The closing tone was weak. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,460,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

The receipt of hogs for the week so far have been very liberal, 24.212 bead being received. This Is considerably larger than the run for the first three days of last week, but st the same time la lust a trifle smaller than tha run for tha corresponding days of the asms week one year ago. Th market this morning on hogs opened slow and draggy. with packers trying to buy the stuff a nickel lower. Sellers, how. ever, held on well, and as a result ths maiket later 011 In the day firmed up con siderably and cloaed the day with prices that were practically ateady with thoss of yesterday's close. The bulk of the sales today were made In the neighborhood of 8480414 86. while toppy loads of ho were selling mostly at M 87. Oenrrally speaking, the market and trade at this point ts in a good, healthy condition. Representative cales: Na A. aa.PT.- ha Sk.

The run of the flrst three days of the week totals 28.444 head, which Is nearly the same as the run for the same three days Isst week, when 28,80 head of sheep were received, while the receipts for the corresponding three days of the samo week last year were 14,035 head. Just about half ths slse of this week's run. There was very little good, choice fat stuff on the market this morning, while there was a moderats demand for this kind of stock from the packers, who were, evi dently wanting some fat sheep. The mar ket was reasonably active, and generally speaking prices wers In practically the same notches as yesterday, there being no quotable change. This applies only to the class of stock Oh the market today, how ever It Is probable that had there been any good choice sheep on the market this morning It would have found ready sale at prices that wers considerable stronger than those of the previous day. The larger portion of the sheep placed on the market today consisted of feeder sheep, with a larger sprinkling of warmed-up and short-fed sheep. There were quite a num ber of country buyers In. so that trading wss reasonably active and the market opened at prices that were mostly steadv with yesterday, while good choice stuff found ready sale at prices that were In some cases a little stronger than those of the previous dsy. guotationn on fat sheep snd lambs; Oood to choice fed lambs, 87.007.40; good to choice range lambs, 84.90447. 80; good to choice yearling wethers. to.to'aO.is; good to choice old wethers, tu.0Cii8.00; good to choice old ewes. t5.0O4i6.4O.
