Trade was light In all markets, and of the uncertain sort, for to noon It was not known whether the Chamber would adjourn over Saturday, and the pit erowd did not know whether this was the day to even up for a holiday or whether they would still have tomorrow to fix everything UD. The figures of the day were without effect, as this day last year was iNew Year, and there were no comparisons. Minneapolis had 147 cars and 12 on Canadian wheat, or 159. Duluth had 44 cars.

Chicago, Dec. 30.Under active covering by shorts the price of May wheat today advance 1c above yesterday's closing quotations. Firm ca bles and greatly decreased receipts in the north west were the principal influences that brought out the urgent demand. May opened %c to %e higher at $1.14% to $1.14%, and quickly ad vanced to $ 1 15^. Scattered selling by commis sion houses caused a reaction to $1.14%, but tbe price again rallied to $1.15%@1.15%. Minneapo li s, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 220 cars against 631 cars last week, with a holiday a year ago. A shaip reaction occurred late in the session, resulting from heavy selling by a number of prominent commission houses. A report of St. Louis trade Journal claiming that the win ter wheat crop has been greatly benefited by recent rains and snows formed the basis of much of the selling pressure.
