CHICAGO GRAIM AND PROVISIONS
Feat a res of the Trading and Closing
Prices ea Board ef TraUle.
CHICAGO, Pec. 24 Strong cables snd
fear of green bug damage gave a notable
stimulus today to the buying of wheat
and continued to carry the market to new
prices for the 1916 crop.
The close was buoyant at 2tt'2Sc net
advance, with December at $1.274 and
May at $1.28. Other leading staples
scored gains corn, lC3c; oats, lVatT
lc, and provisions from 12c to 66c.
Buying power In the wheat pit seemed
to be virtually without limit. To some ex
tent at least the orders to purchase came
from foreigners and It was plain that the
rest of the demand reflected to a large
degree the rialng quotations at Liverpool,
where scarcity of supplies appeared to be
growing mora pronounced.
Nothwlshstanding that tomorrow, being
Christmas, a lull might have been looked
for in wheat exports, fresh transact lona
with Europe took place both here and In
the east, and it was said the announce
ments of the total business done during
the last few days were .decidedly under
estimated. Aside from the strength of the export
situation, the market was noticeably af
fected In a bullish manner by the govern
ment weekly report confirming the gossip
from other aouces that serious damage
from green bugs In the southwest was
not unlikely.
Corn like wheat felt the bullish In
fluence of the needs of Europe. Besides
unsettled weather and car scarcity and
the meagemeaa of the stock here tended
to tighten up values.
Oats were helped especially by the re
moval of the embargo at Newport News.
The net receipts here ware light.
Higher prices on hogs snd grain male
provisions Join In the upwsrd swing. The
fact that aliipmenla of lard and meats
wete largelv In excess of last years
total aided In preventing sny reaction.

CATTLE Receipts were very light, only
twenty-five cara being repuilea In. of
this nurntier tolve were direct to a
packer, so that there were really not
enough cattle on sale to make a real
teat of the market. For the week re
ceipts, though much smaller than for
any recent week, are very much larger
than usual Just prvcedlng the holidays,
the run being over head larger than
for the corresponding week last year.
The few cara of cattle offered this
morning were picked up very readily at
prices that were a little higher again than
yesterday. Everything In sight was aold
early In the morning.

week ago. 12.000 larger than two weeks
ago and almost 30.000 larger than for the
five market days of Christmas week last
year. This week's run la the largest

lecember.
Both packers and shippers went out
after tha weighty hogs in good style,
shippers paying prices that were tyglOc.
higher, while packers bought at a full
nickel advance and paid 10o higher prices
In spots. The top of $8.40 was paid by
both shipper and packer buyers. To
day's advance puts heavy hogs back to
where they were Wednesday before yes
terday's break.
Light hogs did not have such a hard
time finding an outlet as they did yester
day, but while the slump on yesterday's
extreme close was regained, prices paid
for the light and light mixed kinds, as
well as some of the light butchers, were
no more than steady with yesterday's

Little to Indicate This Is Holiday
I Benson,
NEW YORK. Dee. 14 Dun'a Review tn.
morrow will say :
Apart from the rnah In tha .hnnnin.
district there has been little In the busi
ness worltl to Indicate that this Is the
holiday season. Preparations for Inven
torying are much leas of a factor than
usual and Instead of the slowing down
process chara.teriatlc of the period In
moat hranchea. commercial activities are
exceptionally well sustained.
Even aside from tha steel Industry over
time continues In force at many manu
facturing plants and the general request
for early deliveries test if lea to the
urgency of current requirements. Evi
dences accumulated that supplies are be
coming short In some lines and efforts to
replenish depleted stocks are hampered
by tha railroad congestion, though tha
addition of embargoes on export freight
wont to trie advantage or nomeeiio con-
sumera. A sham rise has occurred in
copper In which Is at tha highest level
inco l07 but this is due to a resumption
of heavy buying rather than to any
scarcity of the metal.
Production Is at a record rata and tn
duatrial operations generally ara un
abated, conditions at tha footwear fac
tories being without precedent In thla re
gard. Manufacturers are taxed to the ut
most snd sra booked months ahead, while
only the shortage of dyestuffa curtails
activities at tha textile m'lls.
