CHICAGO. Nov. 12. Scarcity of cash wheat held option prices comparatively steady today. At the close the December Decem-ber delivery was oft a shade and May c Corn ls down T'c. Oats are up c and provisions 7 to 12c. Small receipts in the Northwest and firmness of cables caused a steady tone in the wheat market at the opening. Initial quotations on December were c lower at S1.14c. May was c lower to c higher at $1.14 to $1.14. Sentiment Senti-ment In the pit, however, was inclined to bearlshness as the result of fear that tho total world's movement for the week would show a considerable Increase. In-crease. While offerings were light, the demand was not sufficient to prevent a decline In prices. December dropping to $1.14. May sold off to $L13. Toward the middle of the sett'ion the market became quite strong, especially for tho May delivery, which advanced to $1.11. December rallied to about the opening figure. The factors that contributed to tho firmness yesterday were prominent influences in-fluences today. The cash situation, however, how-ever, was perhaps the most potent of them all. Minneapolis reported an advance ad-vance of 4 cents a bushel In the price of low-grade wheat, while higher grades were in good demand at llrm pricea Arrivals In tho Southwest were much smaller than a year ago. A message from Kansas City claimed that the movement would continue to decrease. Total primary receipts today were 400,-000 400,-000 buBhels less than on the corresponding correspond-ing day a year ago. The trading was quiet throughout the entire day, operations being confined mainly to local trade. The market closed steady, with December at $1.1-1 1.14. May closed at $1 11. Clearances of wheat and Hour wero equal to 73,100 bushels. Primary receipts re-ceipts were S39.200 bushels, compared with 1,259,900 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Min-neapolis, Duluth and Chicago reporU-d receipts of 602 cars, against 786 cars la-c-t week and 924 cars a year ago. Sentiment In the corn market was bullish, as a result of small stocks but the Government crop was bo overwhelmingly overwhelm-ingly bearish as to hold many buyers in chock. December opened a shade to VaQKa lower, at 51 to 51c, sold 51 and G2c and closed 51c. Local receipts re-ceipts were 149 cars, with threo of contract con-tract grade. A good cash demand caused a firm tone In speculative trading In oats. December De-cember oponed unchanged to 29c, sold up to 29c and closed at 29c. Locul receipts were 91 cars. Provisions were weak early in tho session, ses-sion, as a result of lower prices at the yards, but covering by shorts in all products caused a firm tone.
