smallest Monday run of cattle that has
been here in months, the arrivals being esti
mated at about 6,000 head. The market

Quite a few of the better kinds of short feds
sold around lll.0012.20, with warmed up

In spite of the fact that tomorrow Is a holi
day and there will be no market, desirable
stockers and feeders were in very good re
quest, and sold strong to 10O16e higher. A
moderate run of western beef sold stronger.

CHICAGO GRAIN ASU PROVISIONS.
Likelihood ot Cold Wave Brought Advance
in Corn Value.
Chicago, Dec. !4. Likelihood of a cold
wave brought about an advance today In
the value of corn. Prices at the finish, al
though unaetllerl, were H to lc net higher,
with January 1.26t and May $1.24H. Oats
gained 1 to ISc. The outcome In provisions
was a decline ranging from 10 to 42 rents.
Predictions that temperatures were to go
sharply down grade led to Immediate mis
givings In the corn market that the opera
tion of the railroads would be handicapped
and that the movement of the corn crop
would auffer new delay. Besides, fresh
complaints of car scarcity gained circula
tion, and it was said traffic facilities had
not as ye improved aufflclently to result
In any decided increase of loadings. Re
ceipts here weres till dlsnppolntlngly small,
and the Cnlted States visible supply total
showed only a slight enlargement. I'nder
such circumstances, bolls had the advantage
throughout the entire session. Business was
of a noticeably restricted holiday character.
Buying that was ascribed to export Inter
ests had a good deal to do with the advance
In oats. The beet demand waa for the May
delivery.
Announcement of the letting of Immense
government contracts to packing houses
strengthened provisions. Profit taking sales.

mid-day.
