CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-To-day has been an
eventful one on Change. Dealings have
been of quiet nature, although good
average days business has been transacted,
and this evening prices do not greatly vary
from those prevailing at Saturdays close.
Corn shows most change. The shorts ap
peared less anxious to-day, and the pres
sure to buy being relaxed, prices became
shade easier. In the morning wheat
showed trihing advantage, but this was
lost during the afternoon. Oats contracted
for delivery this year are liz sc higher,
but the speculative futures did not
advance in proportion. Provisions be-
gan the day quite weak, but recovered
most Of their decline during the later
hours.
On the board of trade the wheat market
was quiet and fiucuated only about &c,
month closing at &C better than Saturday.
January 1sc better, February ABOUT 7sc
better and May &c better. The early sales
were at Saturdays closing prices, but
ruled rather firm for time. though with
very little business, improving H@4c,
but became weak later and eased off &c,
afterwards improved, and closed steady.
During the afternoon this market became
trife easier, prices being shaded to the
extent of the mornings gain in all futures
except May, which held its own with some
sales 16c higher. Winter wheat is in light
demand, with prices steady and firm.
Spring is steady but not actively called
for. Wheat does not show solitary in
teresting feature, nor has this market for
sometime past. During the week just
closed it has been characterized by unusu
al dullness and remarkable steadiness in
prices. the whole fuctuation during the
week having been only &c, and at the close
month was the same as last week, Janua-
ry, February and May unchanged. The
market was entirely featureless from the
beginning to the close. Outside orders
were limited and the business
was largely Of local scalping character
No prominent operators appear to be
taking any interest in .he IL araet, and the
business will doubtless be left to drag
along IN the present rat until after thu
holidays, when more animation is looked
for. The steadiness that has distinguished
the market for some weeks past is quit
unusual, and there is growing feeling
that it is not likely to last much longer
but no changes of note are looked for un
til after the holidays.
The flour market shows no change to
day. Exporters and local jobbers are bot
buying to some extent. Durin
the past week this marke
has been more active, and quite a livel
trading was noted for the week, and wit
prices holding firm at the rates that hay
been ruling for some time. The deman

was much heavier than at any time *

very little, and having sufficient stoe
from their fall purchases to last for son
time. Prices were holding firm, and
