Chicago Grain Market. * CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Corn again took prece- dence on the Board of Trade to-day and was etrong and higher from the start. The unset- tled weather conditions, rendering still more uncertain any increase in the contract stocks and the total ebsence of contract corn in to- day's arrivals of BAT cars, revived anxlety among_shorts, who became active bidders for both December and May as the session pro- gressed. Chief interest centered in the Decem- ber option. This was bid up very rapidly by one prominent broker who is credited with be- ing heavily short, the price reaching 39%c be- fore the reaction came. Even at that figure there was little offered for sale. The decrease in the visible supply of 624,000 bushels helped the bull situation. y in ‘the meantime also thowed considerable sirenith, though having periods of comparative depression. = December closed 2%c higher at 89%0. May closed Yo higher at 86%c. Wheat was inclined to be weak esrly in the session.

Up to about 11 ¢'clock the market continued heavy and ap- {Arent]y barren of buyers, but a hardening endency appeared soon after, prospects of de- crease in the visible and_the strength of corn bringing good support. During the last hour the market was dull but quite firm, and all the early loss was recovered. May advanced to T3l4c and closed at that price.
