nour market abroad has checked export
operations somewhat, and trade was slow.
Stocks are only fair. Holders asked
former figures, but buyers asked for con-
ceSsions, which holders were slow to allow.
Local jobbers bought sparingly.
Winter wheat ruled quiet again to-day,
and prices show further decline of about
1ac. No. 2 red sold at 94c and special To-
cations at 9411ac, closed at 94c. No.
winter sold at soc, and rejected at SIC.
December nominally about tho same as
cash. Seller January quiet, sold at 95c.
Spring wheat was quiet and shade lower,
No. sold at 93a4 @94c for car lots, and
round lots quotably the same as December,
closed at about 94c. No. 3 sold at 79c. re-
jected nominal. Regular No. , wheat was
again quiet and tolerably steady, fuctua-
tons being confined within
small range. Not many outside orders
were received, and trade again
mainly of local character. Receipts
small, and there was no special desire TO
sell. The market closed about nc higher
than the closing figures on Change yester-
day. December and year quiet, and ranged
at $50 @943sc and closed at about 941ac.
February quiet and quotably about 1c over
January, ranging at 955s@964c, and
closed at about Soc. May trading light
and sales ranged at $1.O1@1OI3s and
closed at $1o14 bid.
Corn was considerably unsettled, and the
feeling again decidedly weak, with
prices ruling materially lower
all around. The speculative
offerings were liberal, Influenced by colder
weather, which was favorable for the grad
ing Of corn, and also due to liberal re-
ceipts. A good deal of future corn which
had been bought at higher prices, and on
which margins became exhausted. had to
be closed out, thus increasing the offerings,
and very weak feeling was developed
under the pressure to sell. Prices declined
fully 81 C per bushel for cash and 3 &c for
year and December, while January and
May declined but tride below yesterdays
closing figures, and at one time sold
higher. The market toward the close
ruled trifle steadier, and finally closed
224c lower for December and year, than
the closing figures on Change yesterday,
while January and May closed about the
same to shade better than yesterday.
The failure of firm supposed to be largely
long of year corn, compelled the selling of
a great deal for that delivery, and aided in
depressing values. 1t was whispered around
that good many cars were standing on
the track which had not been reached by
the inspectors, and there was a plentiful
lack of shipping demand. Corn weakened
rapidly, as it was offered in rather large
quantities, with buyers holding off to see
where it would go to, and some of them
having the hardihood to prophecy
that corn would be delivered
on year contracts before the day was over,
TWAS remarked that corn was kept up till
the 25th of last month by the New York
demand, then to the Goth by the belief in a
c0rner here. This sustained the year, az
| it was thought the prospect was good fol-
that coming up to spot.

Rye, in sympathy with the decline in
corn and an absence of orders, was dull
and 10 lower.
Barley, the arrivals were larger, consign-
ments all held on track, and while sample
lots were plenty there was no in store bar

all round, and market dull generally with
prices weaker and easier.
The demand for hog products was fairly
active, and the offerings moderate. Prices
averaged lower on all the leading descrip-
tons, and ruled comparatively steady at
the decline. Shipping demand modera-
lively active, especially for export. For
