For the present the bears seem to hava the advantage of the nws on wheat, weather In Argentine hoa Improved and foreign market are no longer alarmed over supplies from that quarter. North west receipt have not dropped, ai waa expected. The strength In cash wheat is a bullish feature arid also the Inquiries for large lota of wheat by milling Inter ests. With the holidays starting after today the mnrket ruled narrow. There in little doubt that the recent dip In corn alues was due to selling by raftered holders before the holidays. Much depends on the turn In the weather conditions, as shippers are al ready anxious and December shorts are not In a comfortable position. Both, the wheat and corn pita were very dull today, little trading; befng done owing to the closing of the market until next Tuesday.

All American grain ex changes will be closed tomorrow and Monday, and there was a general desire to be free of commitments and avoid the effects of any surprise which might be sprung In foreign markets. The end of the evening up process -left wheat varying from a shads lower to Ho hit; her than last night. Corn finished 1-lfic to V,o down, oata, unchanged to "!o off. and hog products either not al tered or to decline. Argentine weather helped to relieve both sides of the wheat market, though at different times. Karly In the session prloes were strengthened by reports of showers in the South Amer ican harvest fields. Hubseqiiently, a word came of clear skies and stealing temperature In that iuartr, resulting In considerable weakness, wulch gave way afterward to' steadiness all around when the majority of dealers bad arranged their trades In shipshape fashion for the holidays. May ranged from 8frf(f'98c, with last sales toc, a net losa of a shade. In the corn pit a little show of flrm niN due to small receipts, afforded a chance for longs to unload to advantage. The close was steady. May fluctuated from M'o14o to Mvtc, fiuumlng ,c mwn at 6c. Cash grades were taster. No. 2 yellow was nut quoted. Celling out of a large line held by a local siieoulator weakened oats. After ward, However, the market hardened. Up. per and lower limits touriied for May were.ti'te and 47Sc, with the close a sixteenth net lower at lQio. An attempt to advance packing prod ucts brought out rather . free offerings and made values react. In the end, prices on the blackboards stood at last night's level, or were bugging, but not to exeex-d In any ca as much as a nickel. The leading futures ranged as follows: Artic l Oiwn. High. Low.

The close was firm at a net advance of 13 to Si points. Bales, 96.750 bags.

This leaves the run for tne five days this week at 14.2) neaa, which Is over 2,0u0 head smaller than a year ago and 13,000 head smaller man tor tbe same days last week. The demand tor beef cattle, and for that matter for practically all kinds of ttle. Is usually Very slack on a Fri day and the trade slow and dull. He celpts this week, however, have been so small that It was very evident that pacners requirements were not satis fied. The result was that buyers wers out In the yard early In the morning and everything In the way ot desirable beef steers onanged nanns in very good sea aon In tba morning at prtcts tnat wore strong as compared with yesterday, or 20 to 40 cents higher than last week's close. Cows and heifers were also strong as compared with yesterday and the market for the week Is 20 to too higher. There were no stock cattle or feeders of any consequences in the yards this morning and not enough to make any test of the market. The best feeders are selling just about as high as any time, but common. Inferior and light cattle have been a little lower this week.

Described more accurately, good heavy hogs sold at levels abuut steady, while bacon and high mixed stuff gen erally ruled weak to a nickel lower, packing orders were filled in leisurely fashion from start to finisn, and outside buyers were the tJnly ones to get out In good season snd purchase promptly. Something like twenty loads, mostly 2) to 260-pound averages, found a shipping and speculative outlet. The yards were pretty well cleared of total offerings before 11 o'clock, but sev eral of the leading buyers dropped out Ot the trade toward the close, and final sales averaged weak, with the demand dull and druggy. I'sual spreads were preserved between heavies, butchers and lights, the three classea selling at the high, middle and low prices, respectively. The beat lard hogs on sole brought $6.20, while good light animals landed around fo.l&ijo.is). only a few bundles of pigs were avail able and prices for little stuff showed no uhan;,ea of consequence.

De spite this small estimate none of the regular buyers took verv much Interest In the market and movement seemed al most as lifeless as It frequently Is on a tiny when receipts prove excessive. Steady prices were maintained, hut the task of keeping values at unchanged levels was more or less difficult. Good native lambs sold at $5.W and some fed westerns that were nothing to brag about landed at 35.70. Strictly choice lambs are quotable up to the even money 16.00. Pat ewes remained In notches almost Identical with those In force yesterday, the spread between cull and prime quality amounting to $100 or more. Scarcity of wethers and vearllngs left trads In $3..-iO&4.76 classes nominal. What few feeders arrived sold readllv, prices ruling stronger. The country de mand at this time of the year is rather erratic, of course, and with supplies seasonably small novlefinlte set of val ues can be quoted. The four days' pur chase of feeders, according to packers' tab, amounts to onlv 7,6iJO head. Compared with a week ago, fat lambs ore closing about 15c higher, an advance that applies especially to good to choice grades. Medium stuff has shown little, If sny, Improvement. Sheep are selling strong to a little higher In spots, ewes bringing; as much as $3 00, with extra good wethers claiming a $4.10 limit. Representative sales: No. Av.
