Show CHICAGO GRAIN Chicago, 111., Dec. 31 Much strain showed itself today in the corn trade, but the volume of business in the pit was not greater than usual, and there were no extraordinary changes in prices December delivery. In which interest chiefly centered, was given a somewhat derided lift In value as a direct result of the board of trade directors refusing this morning to enact en-act emergency regulations making corn on track delierable on contracts The decision of the directors relieved the principal bull speculator from being be-ing forced to accent 2.500.000 hnsheiR at a substantial loss. Corn prices, which at the outset varied from l-8c lower to 3 4c advance, ad-vance, seemed Inclined to keep with In the opening range, averaging about 12c gain compared with last night's figures. Wheat sympathized with the firmness firm-ness of corn The market opened 1 He off to l-4c up, and then scored a moderate mod-erate rise all around. Oats hardened in consequence of the strength of otber grain. Trans actions, however, were light. Although provisions at first were easy on account of lower prices for hogs, the market afterward responded respond-ed to the upturn In corn On som options the rise amounted to as much as 20 cents above last night's level The wheat close was steady at a net gain of 3-8(gl-2c. The corn close was steady at 1 S i&1-4 to 1 3 4c above last night. Cash. Rye No 2, 01 rfi 62c. Barley 50 70c. Timoth $4. 00 ft 5 40. Clover $12 25 15 25. Pork $20 50.
