CHICAGO, Dec. ~The opening in wheat was a trifle ensier to-day, due to iarge world's shipments and lower cables. May was un. changed to lic lower at S2@82%kc. Thers Wi considerable selling at the start owing to the bearish news and St. Louls Houses led in the selling. The July delivery was firm on con- tinued dry weather in the winter wheat sec- tion, and the strength of the distant future exerted a supporting influence on the other months. Toward the end of the first hour a gocd demand developed on reports of heavy rains in Argentina, which resulted in the mar- ket becoming strong, with May up to 82%c. Later in the day rumors of a probable big in- crease in the visible supply, together with earlier advices and claiming favorable har- vestiug weather there, brought out an abun- dance of selling orders, and prices again de- clined, May going down to 81%c. Much of the selling was due to rumors to the effect that the big holder was unloading through commission houses. There was an urgent demand later in the day from brokers who were credited with buying for the bull leader, and with only small | offerings a rally occurred, and the close was strong with prices near the top, May closing at S21,@S2%¢. Corn ruled easier and trading was less active. May closed at $2%5c. Oats ruled easier in the session along with other grains. May closed at 36%c. Provisions ruled firm, although trading was guiet.
