OMAHA, Dec. St, Ml
A disappointing cable cuused a slightly
lower oonlng on wheat, but It Itnme
miuely uttei)H.-il Unit there whs a good
domand through commission houses and
the market had a quick spurt This ad
vance, however, was not maintained, the
enduing reaction being attributed to a
declining tendency In corn. Nothing. was
said about export business but tha north
west markets held very welt and this
latter factor contributed some rlrm
ness to the local market. Various local
operators were reported as soling, but
the market, notwithstanding, showed
qulto a little steadiness. There Is a
strong undertone and It Is believed this
will eventually be reflected In a higher
lovel.
Corn started firm with considerable ex
citement In the December, owing to cov
ering by shorts. There was likewise some
short covorlng In the May future by
those who hod not boon driven In by
yesterday'H bulge. The weather may re
vealed nothing favoring the bulls and
this, with lower cables, finally affected
the prlco nnd the market developed a
much easlrr tone. .Selling on a largo
scale by a house Identified with the long
side was reported, but the offerings
wero fairly-well absorbed except In the
December, which gradually declined until
It was below last night. Naturally there
will have tn be some shrinkage In the
receipts and a better demand to give the
market snap, but It Is believed such con-

IVnturt's of the Trailing nntl Closing
Priors on Hoard of Trailr.
CHICAGO. Dec. 31Sg.ceilng of shorts
brought about u decided auvance today
In the prlco of wheat and corn. Attempts
to force on the bull lender several
million bUBhels of corn that arrived too
lato to be unloaded ut elovntors met with
failure. Closing quotations, which were
steady at neany tho top level of thv
day, showed net gains as toliows; Wheat
WUW to iVic; coin, hfVc to lc; oats,
io to V4U?iC, nnd provision 7 He to 35c.
Wheat hud a remarkable advance for
December, notwithstanding that last day
deliveries on contructs tor tho month
amounted to nearly a round l.Ouo.wUj
uuaiieis. ji was not until tne iinai Hour
ui tne session tnut tne upturn In wheat
developed excitement among snorts.
There had been a gtaduat tightening
from the outset but no Hurry prcv.ous
to the timo tfhen thu rite reached 2
cents, and plainly Indicated that lurther
stubbornness by outstanding shorts would
omy result In a nenrtlty moie severe.
Orolnary Influences having refcrenco to
crops und weather wero lost sight of, and
December contracts were In tho end
being settled at oven dearer prices than
If lor May,
Veto action by directors of the board of
trutle spoiled the plans ot dealers who
had hoped for an emergency rule that
would allow eleventh hour delivery of
train loads of, corn belated on railroad
tracks in elevator yards here. As a re
sult shorts saw no filternuuv'0 but to
seme as quietly unu us soon as pos
sible. The longs exhibited no dlsnos.t on
to lilt prices to a sensational figure, but
Bvcmea content to supply an comers who
were willing to accede to what bull
leaders thought reasonable after a hard
fought battle- Oats sympathized with
the strength of wheat olid corn, though
complete.y overshadowed In point of in
terest. Aggressive buying lifted provision.
Grain traders nnd stock yard speculators
were responsible.

HOoa-Supplies were fair and as ad
v,',ceA f,rom ,olhe' Points indicated a
slight drop In. values the local market
opened out generally a nickel lower. Just
rV'?' wittering sales wero made early
that looked to be a little easier, but the
majority of the sellers were not Inclined
to cut loose at this decline, and u little
lator on values braced up, so that while
tho market was rather uneven the bulk
ottho sales looked to be about steady.
Tho movement was very d runny In
gpots, but toward the extreme, close the
demand livened up nnd a fow loads that

to move, even ot weakened prices. Tho
uemanu lor ine very ngnt stmt was also
slack on Tuesday, and for the two days
prices aro sharply lower, tho decline
amounting to anywhere from 2Bo to In
somo cases as much as 60c.
Bulk of the heavies and butchers moved
at $7.0087.70, with several- loads ob high'
as $7.76, the top, and lights sold largely
at a range, of $7,46U7,tio. For the three
days the unevrnness of tho' runs )ua
wvussd prices to fluctuate n good deal,
but today's figures look to be Just about
steady with the- close' of lasb week.
This morning's recolpts were estimated1
at 120 cars, or 8,600 head, bringing the
wcok's total up to 2U.kUi3. This Is over
7,000 head heavier than a weok ugo, nnd
nearly 8,500 head larger than Tor tlo

to a shade lower, with tho most decline
on yearlings. Lambs were mostly steady,

weighing around 91 pounds was Included
In the early trade at $6.60.
Tho supply of owes was very much the

".iiuilty, nnd values were strong to a
shade higher, lluyers In some cases
seemed to want something In tho line of

os a result most of the holdings wero
disposed of readily. The range or prices
was around $5.004i5.25.
The deal In feedors showed no material
change, tho volume of trade being again
limited at prices for the most part steady.
