THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. | ‘Wheat Shows Up With a Strong Tone After the Holidays. CORN ALSO EXHIBITS FIRMNESS. Oats Move Along the Other Cereals — Provisions Show Bullishness — Cattle Active-Quotations. UpGrade With CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Cricaao, Dee. 27— [Special Telegram to the Tho holiday had not diminished the wheat bulls, appavently, and there was no sign of weakness in the market during the morning session. May wheat opencd at 8137c, which was ’¢¢ better than Jast Friday's closing price. There was an fmmediate advance Lo S und for some time he price hung between $43c und Sblge, with @ fair amount of business, which was largely of a local character, ‘There was good buying, however, for New York account carly and that market rather led this in the advance and in strength. The burden of 1,000,000 bushels added to the visible supply was borne by the market with only a weakening of ¢, and this was very soon more than recovered. It was rather more than had been expected this morning, but there had been even larger es- timates at the close of last week. A year ago t0-day the increase was 801,000 bushels. Cron news from the winter wheat scctions is not so much talked about now, but there are still re- ports of damage by freezing where there isno show to protect the plant, The market ad- vancea slowly to $5%¢ and then fell back to 8¢ on the visible supply anmouncement, but just before the close considerable wheat scemed to be wanted by three or four com- mission liouses, and e prico advanced to sted at 1 0'clock. ovened at 5ic, sold down but later advane b5 wat iy BAbomiony came, an incroase of 405,000 bushels, which ve than expected, foll off 10544 ng again just before the close, when provisions bezan to show considerable strength, to L@ Mije, where it rested at 1 o'clock. " January corn opened at_48igc, fell t0 48%c, sold up to 49c and closed there at 1 o'clock. The speculative oat market went along with the others on the upward grade, but not quite so far. Trading was in greater volume than usual and was entirely in the May de- That delivery opencd at 38%c fell below that price. There wus so thing of a struggle to_get beyond the ! h, and then the advance continued to where the price stood at 1 o'clock. hé "provision. trade exhibited - bullish tendency. The light “run’ of hogs locally and at outside points made traders of ail classes feel friendly toward the market.

Cmicaco, Dec. the BEe.]—CATTLE with an advance over Monday's prices of 10@ 15¢ on the ordinary run of good and useful natives, making prices about the same as Friday and Saturday, barely as strong maybe ini all cases, but the quality of the stock is not as desirable by long odds. Shippers wanted some stock to-day and there were unexpected onutside orders that helped to wake up the demand and clear out all desira- ble lots at an early hour. Texans were scarce, but that fact did not scem to stimu- late prices on common native culls and thin bulls, as such sold us low as at any time, yet good cows and heifers, such as city butchers and dressed beef operators can use, sold a shade better. There was little or 'nothing doing in stockers and feeders. 10 1500 1bs, $4.50@5.003 1200 to 1 £ (@4.00; 950't0 1200 1bs, &.00@4.0.

A few loads of fancy heavy sold at £5.05@. !i or about a nickel higher than Saturday, and_ @ fewsloads of good mixed a shade higher, but the general market ruled slow and light sorts were almost unsaluble, such forming the bulk of the supply. mixed of 185 to 215 lbs. or thereabouts, $5.20 averages of 165 1bs. and along there, @5.40 46,10 pigs of 120 10130 lbs. averages, $4.50@4.95. KFINANCIAL. NEew York, De [Special Telogram to the Beg.|—Stocks—The feature of the stock market was the activity and advance in Reading and Luckawanna. The strike on the Reading, which the bears thought would cause & sharp decline, is said to be settled, the men surrendering unconditionally, but everything was reported to be running as smoothly as possible after two holidays. There was no disposition to sell any stocks, but a decided desire on the part of shorts to cover.. Deacon 8. V. White, who is spending the holidays in Wall street, led the bull forces, and from the way prices were marked up, they had comparatively easy sailing. Lackawanna advanced 13{ per cent. Read- ing, after an opening of 13, advanced 2 points. The strength displayed by these stocks stimulated buying in others and im- provements of 1 @114 per cent were recorded. The earnings for the third weck in December show larger gains than generally expected; much to the disappointment of the bears. London bought Union Pacific and Reading moderately. The total sales were 263,000 shares, GoveryMeNTS—Government bonds were dull but firm. YESTERDAY'S QUOTATIONS, . 8. ds registerod. 130 C. & N.
