An Immense export trade was in progress and the market cloeod strong lc to $Vic net higher, with De cember at $1.21 and May at $1.22H. Corn finished unchanged to o higher, oats up Wa Vic to hkc and provisions varying from 12Hc delcine to a rise of 16c. Kstimatea of the export sales of wheat today mad the total as much aa 1.750. m bushels. The bulk of this aggregate was said to have been taken by Great Britain, apparently aa the result of the action by British authorities in virtually commandeering vessels so as to facilitate the movement of grain from the Amer ican side of the Atlantic.

Otherwise the market was In clined to sag owing to cold weather and to the outlook tor more l'.beral receipts. ats ewayea wun corn. Firmness showed Itself In most of the provisions ootlons. A moderate amount of investment buying appeared to be the chief cause. Offerings were light. Chicago Cash Prices W hest : No. 2 red. $1. 20Hti 122: No. 2 red. $1.141 1; No. 2 hard. H l'Jiei.B'.
