THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE, .
As it Casts its Light Upon tina Chicago
Market.

Special Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Oables strong on spot
and cargoes firm. Our market was just alive
the first hour of change, and gasping for life.
The traders were not disposed to do any buy
ing. hoping to save what they had left to go
over the holidays with. God knows when they
will show color again if this blasted English
demand continues. Later dispatches says ex-
porters are working freely, not only for the
United Kingdom, but the continent, making
specially on red wheat. On the curb wheat
was $l.341 for spot.
Corn sluggish at the opening, but the grand
boom in wheat lifted this cereal right out of
the rough, leaving the hogs that would depress
an article Of human food out in the cold. On
the curb, May 47c; January 1870.
Provisions were entirely nominal early, but
the monkeying Of packers, with the heads of
the Butchers union, has got beyond their con-
troll, and this being discovered by the smart
Alexis, caused the packers, ssalpers, tailers and
camp followers generally to 60 staving blind,
and the curb is trembling at $13.8215. Lard
unchanged.
