are being closely watched. Any spot
weakness would ne quickly followed, by a
decline In contracts. ITlce views as to
the more distant future are, of course,
bullish, which is shown In the active bid
ding for October next year and the
premium of this position over near fu
tures. S*» far all that we know abput

GRAIN NOTES.
Chicago, Dec. 12.—Bartlett, Frazier A
Co.: There Is more or less talk about
spring wheat receipts decreasing, but the
c!a!iii Id made that car shortage would be
the only reason for such, as there Is said
to be a great deal of wheat still back
In first hands.
Our advices seem to fndteate that there
Is no pressure of com from first hands at
points trlbtary to this market. Specula
tive selling pressure Is light and we
are, therefore. Inclined to look for a
steady market. *
Oats receipts keep moderate, but the
demand Is only fair. Around 48c for May
we are Inclined to advise purchases.
A reaction in provisions after the recent
scllne would be in order.;
The advance in com has run In a num
ber of shorts. Think we have had ad
vance enough for present.
Chicago Inter-Ocean; Gossip of the
wheat trade last night was more mixed,
but largely bearish. Conservative people
said that a cutting down of tha Argentina
Imatea, while leaving the largest crop
_ record, will make short sales on breaks
like that of yesterday more precarious
Home of tha pit short who covered good-
sized lines of corn on the early bveaa were
disposed to pot them out again at 68
for May, while several of tha local bulls
were noticeable buyers around tha top
pricea.
Oats specialists said that all bears who
_dd short Haturdav cams In yesterday
and tha pit was wall evened up.

The government crop report* seem to
have left the market flat, and very heavy
covering before the estimate seems ta
have practically removed any probable
strength for the present, and It looks now
as if on any rally new lines of short cot-1
ton will be put out, causing further de-i
clfne. The strength of December, due trf
longs holding contracts for cotton, Is tha
lipaln support of the entire list. There
la a crowing feeling thnt the government!
has likely underestimated the crop.
It is said that Rlordan, Gifford and up-i
town shorts have bought about 100,00*
bales today. Raymond, Pinchon and Walt
