Chicago, Dec. 4.—The general news on wheat inis been very strong for some time, yet speculation Ims been so dull that prices have hardly more than held their own. There I* a large short interest In both May nnd December. Can't help feeling that we shall have n very material advance most IV time. Expect lo see December corn gain on May. Out* continue firm.

Chicago Record Herald: "The stock of •ntraei grades of wheat In Chicago public levators nt lust report wns 8,624,000 bushels. »f which 7,795.000 bushels were No. 2 red winter, 692,000 bushels were No. 2 hard winter and 137,000 bushels were No. 2 north ern. Th°re have been some shipment* of eneh of the above grade* during the Inst week, which reduces the above figures slightly. Both the No. 2 hard winter uud the No. 1 northern lire selling nt a stiff premium over December delivery price. No. 2 hard t* almut 2%c above December dellv- ty figure, and the small quantity of No. ! loitheru I* held nt arbitrary premiums, fluctuating according to the conscience of the miners. As Saturday wns only the Ini tial delivery day of December, It tuny bo found by the end of the month that every bushel of available contract wheat In this Ity has clmti iiela mal 4h4o strong speculators' hands." "'lie foreign situation Is briefly revlcwen ... follows: Russian nnd Dnnublnu -ship ments have been dunning considerably short of those of a year ago, and there Is every Indication that they will full off it* rapidly “ ' -»aanii n* they did Inst year, when the iln»r shipments decreased heavily the November showing. Argentina seldom enters the list* ns it heavy slilp- the latter part of January, whether her crop I* large or small. Present Indications are that the crop to be har- ested there this month will be about 7.000.- 000 bushels larger than the last, from which little over 88,000.000 bushels have l»een Ipped In the Inst eleven months, nnd ilch seem likely to run not over 96.- 0tt»,(i0i> bushels for the year nt the extreme. Under such conditions It would seem as though the European buyer, who looks t* soon will recover from Id* apathy of th* lust six week* nml begin to buy wheat. Further good reason for this might alao be found In the following comparison of Sat urday's prices with those of n year ago In the prlmdpul American market* LIVERPOOL.

There is a large short Interest In De cember wheat, which went to only 4 3-8c discount from the May price ns compared to 4 3-4c at the close on Monday and 5 3-4 'cent In the lutter part of last week.
