BOSTON, Dec. 26.—Amalgamated _Copper, North Butte, Anaconda and Copper Range w: the features of o strong market. Buyers w: plentiful at the opening and the advances were sharp in most stocks. North Butte jumped over four points on small sales and held its gain all through the scssion. Copper Range still seems to come out rather freely, but the floating suppl~ of stocks must be rapldly get- | ting exhausted.

Future Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—Until late in the ses- sion wheat was inclined to be weak. Pt trad- ers largely favored the selling side, but de- mand by leading longs had a tendency to re- strict offerings. At the opening the market was depressed by the unexpected size of the world's shipments. An English statistician on Saturday estimated the total movement at 8,000,000 bushels, but actual figures supplied by the same authority to-day showed the movement to be over 11,000,000 bushels. An- other weakening influence was an increase of 500,000 bushels in stocks of wheat at Minneap- Selling was also encouraged by reports of rains in Ind: the last hour buying was commenced by several prominent commiseion houses, and shorts, becoming somewhat alarmed, covered actively. The demand found the market apparently oversold and the result was & quick rally in prices. The market clased firm and almost at the highest point of the day. May opened a shade lower at 87%e, sold oft {0 86%c and advanced to ST4c. ~Final quo-- tations were at 87%c, a gain of A Slump of nearly’ ¢ a bushel in' the price of the December delivery, old style, and ‘a re- covery of the greater part of the loss was the feature of trading in corn. Profit taking caused by reports of heavy local receipts start- ed the decline, The December delivery, old style, opened at 47lgc, broke to 443c and closed at 47c. The May option held steady for the entire day, It opened a shade lower to a shade higher ‘at 4dc to 44%c, sold between 43%c and 44%c and closed unchanged at 443ic. The oat market ruled steady. May closed unchanged at 31%G81%c. Provisions were weaker after a firm opening. Local packers and foreigners sold freely during the last half of the day.
