12 a Trifle, Although Selling Prices Decline. Omaha, December 13, 1916, The cash «heat situation was a trifie more active today, and, while the market sold from’2 to 4 cents lower, the sellers let go of their samples more freely and a §00d part of the light receipts were sold There was a pretty good inquiry for milling wheat and the better grades of hard wheat sold at a 3-cent decline, while the No. 3 hard was quoted about 4 cents under yesterday's sales. The bulk of the No. hard brought around $1.63 to $1.64. No. 3 hard sold Ny at $1.69 to 31 and No. 4 hard ranged from $1.58 to $1.09. There were only a few samples of durum wheat on the tables and very little of this varlety was sold, but spring wheat of good milling quality brought $1.65, a cent above the best sale of hard winter wheatl The corn market was comparatively ae- tive, and, while a few samples sold % cent under vesterday's market, the bulk of the sales were made at yesterday's prices, with yellow and white corn selling at a l-cent premium over mixed corn. There how- over, very little yellow corn on the tables and the bulk of the sales wére made up of No. 2 and No. 3 mixed and No. 3 white corn.

GRAIN: AND PROVISIONS, Wheat Opens Irregular, with Tendency . Toward Higher Prices, -Chicago, Dec. 13.—Notwithstanding that _much nervousness was shown in the wheat ‘market today, the excitement and activity ¢ resulting from the chances of peace wero groatly diminished, and prices averaged ,moderately higher owing to the unfavorable reception given in London and Paris to the German proposal. Quotations closed firm at $1.87% to $1.67% for May and $1.43% to + $1.42% for July, with thé market as w whole ranging from the same as yesterday's finish to 3% per cent. Corn gained 1% to 1% and Oats % to %. The result in provisions F varled from 20 cents decline to a rise of shade. | It was a day of rapld but not wide changes of prices in the wheat pit. Foreign , Dewspaper comment, which a majority of dealers took to be adverse to any imme- diate cessation of hostillties, formed the basis of a great degl of the buying. On the other hand, the most pronounced set back in values resulted from headlines that omphasized a possibility of counter propos- als from Great Britain and her allies. than the sellers. The final bulge was the result of the pur- chase of 2, bushel supposed to 1 leaders. be_for a ceuple of corn merely reflected For the most the action of wheat. Scarcity of rallway cars tended greatly to restrict busineas, holdisg back in particular offerings from the country. In oats as other grain bears were at a general disadvantage.

Estimates placed the recelpts at sixty-four cars. or 15,000 head. the three days' run footing up 843 hea ‘This is 17,000 small- er. than last week, and more than 3,000 short of two weeks ago, a deficfency in Monday’s supply being largely responsible for the falling off, but shows a gain of 7,000 over last year: The late trade Tuesday Was about like carlier, It being about a 10c higher market all through, with the morning top of $12.95 duplicated In the afternoon session. This morning buyers picked up a few old sheep on carly rounds that wero fully steady, but the lamb trade got off to a very slow start. Sellers asked strong to higher money on the strength ‘of fism reports from Chicago, but the best bids they could get up to 11 o'clock were around 10@16c lower than yesterday. When movement finally started, it was on a generally steady basis. In spots prices looked a shade easier, while on others values were if anything stronger, but taking the trade all the way through therc was no change. Bulk of the desirable lambs sold at $12.75@12.90, while for the first time in_the history of the market as high as $13.00 was paid. Clipped lambs at $11.35 were mates of the ones that brought the price yesterday. The ewe trade was the same all through, prices rullng steady. The best here brought $8.75, duplicating the new December top, which was made on one deck late yesterday. There wa8 no noticeable letup in the feeder demand, but the supmly was most too skimpg to-make a market. Most of the stuff " ofter®4 to feeder buyers was bn the welghty order, and these were scarce. Fore- noon sales included some as high as $12.25.
