CHICAGO, Dec. jt4.-Not even the recep-
ton of an unusually large nuIaber of or
ders to buy to-day could stop the tide that |
is carrying prices downward in the corn |
market on change. The bears have in |
fact no caRse for complaint with the con-
dition of anv of the grain markets this |
evening. Corn made a further consider |
able decline all around, and kept on los |
ing strength ali day. Wheat made some
pretense of ofstrength early, but lost it all |
before night. Provisions are an excep-
sion, and Defused to be further forced by |
the bears, even gaining some little l
strength. The futures in oats showed the |
the effect ee the prevailing feeling. This

alone had firmness enough
to improve. The closing quotation
of wheat to-day Was Just about the same as
that of yesterday.
This merning on The board the wheat
market was dull, quiet, and prices ruled
strong, the whole fiuctuatica of the session
being about $8c. At the close month was
about the same as it closed yesterday,
January 1ac better. February 1sc better,
and May was unchanged Early sales were
at the figures of yesterday, eased off a
trife, tksni improved 3s@isc, weakened a
trihe, and closed tolerably steady. In the
afternoon prices were easier, and the tri
fling advantage of the morning was lost.
December then showed the only strength
manifested. Winter was in light demand,
quiet, and a shade lower. Spring is in
little request and also weak.
Flour is quiet and unchanged. There is
some little trading done by exporters, but
they appear to be in search of small
amount only, while local jobbers are mere
ly supplying immediate wants. Prices are
quotably unchanged, although an occa-
sional lot was shaded to-day in order to
sell.
