CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-On Change to-day
trading was quite brisk in the corn pit,and
for time among the provision men. In
other commodities not much was doing.
Wheat ruled higher than on Saturday.
Corn during the morning was easier for
this years delivery, but stronger for the
longer futures. In the afternoon prices
were trifie sitter all around. but Decem-
Der corn ended the day i l@35c under Sat
zurday's figures. Provisions early scored
considerable advance, but lost most of
their appreciation before night. Regular
wheat was quiet and steady, the whole
fuctuation on the board being within
a range of &c. at the = opening
December wheat sold e under the closing
quotations of Saturday, but soon regained
this and closed 35c better than then. Jan
uary and May were &c better at the close.
On call the demand was moderate and
prices steady. Spring was in light request
but firmer, and winter quiet and steady.
There was only moderate business in this
market during the week, and prices ending
Saturday ruled unusually steady, the whole
range of the week having been only 1c,
and at the close December was the same as
the previous week. January was also un-
changed, but May was about 1c higher.
The market was destitute of any ex-
citing features. and the trading was almost
entirely in changing from one month to
another, while the surroundings and in
huences were Of the most commonplace
character. The active interest in the corn
market seemed to have no impression on
this deal, which run along in the same
quiet way as for weeks past There has
been an increased dealing in May option
during the week, and this has been the
only option tnat has showed any firmness.
Considerable business has also developed
in February, which was pretty steadily 10
over January.
The flour market continues slow. and the
feeling in the trade one of quietness, with
little call from the home trade and the
business mainly shipping or on export ac-
count.
Prices are without change. Rye and
buckwheat -four in good request. Bran
and all mill stuffs dull and going at shaded
prices. During the week just closed this
market was quiet, and trading for the week
was lighter, with far shipping and ex-
port demand, but with the home and near
by order trade quite light. Prices were
without particular change in being weak
and shaded somewhat in order to sell, and
particularly for the only fair Or low grade
stock. The low freights from western and

heavy movement, but with only small
proportion of the stock stopping
here, and mainly on through shipment
to the East or export. The
better family and bakers brands
were in light supply and holding up quite
well, and particularly when dealers and
millers were preferring to hold the floor
rather than allow reduction,
but with little called for, and home dealers
had all they wanted to supply the
wants of the city at present. Exporters
bought quite fairly of winters and springs,
but were having higher freights to The east
and ocean to fully off set the reduction
from the west here, and were not bidding
for any great quantity. Rye flour was do
ing fairly and holding up to the late ad-
vance, Or to S3.75@4 per barrel for good
to choice brands. Backwheat -four was
selling to larger quantity,
at from Sc per barrel for Wis
'consin, to S6.50@675 for good to fine
New York, and the outside
price was for patent. Bran ana all mill
stutfs were in good supply and al the close
of the week were selling at shaded prices.
Quite large business was transacted in
the corn market. and the feeling developed
was again unsettled and prices irregular.
For cash and year, the feeling was weaker
and prices ruled lower, but fer next years
delivery the feeling was rather stronger
and prices averaged higher. Che receipts
were again quite large. The s,a ,arket
opened weak for year and December de-
livery. and declined to point s, II &c be-

better prices.
There was an active business IN this
grain during the week just closed, attended
with heavy decline in cash
and year, but the deferred
options were wall maintained. At the
close cash No. was 12c lower than last
weeks; the year or this month Age lower,
