CHICAGO, Dec. 20. Wheat today
mounted to the highest price so far on
tho 1915 crop. 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. Stocks were
said to be decreasing to a serious extent
at Liverpool and prospects were less
tavoraDie lor an early movement from
Auatralla. Assertions that a sharp fall-
ng off in receipts from the Dakotaa and
Minnesota mlg.it be looked for tended
aiso to give confidence to the bulls.
Notwithstanding that owners of whest
sold freely to realise profits, the advance
met with no important check at any
time.
Corn was upheld by the strenath of
wheat. Otherwise the market was In
clined to sag owing to cold weather and

Firmness showed Itself In most of the

of investment buying appeared to be the
chief cause. Offerings were light.
