uOur Market ABROAD mas 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,
ana prices show a further decline of about
Tc. No. 2 red sold at 94c and special To-
cations at 941sc, closed at 94c. No. 3
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 93s4 @94c for car lots, and
round lots quotably the same as December,
closed at about 94c. No. sold at roc, re-
jected nominal. Regular No. 2 wheat was
again quiet and tolerably steady, luctua-
tions 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 11sc higher
than the closing figures on change yester-
day. December and year quiet, and ranged
at So s@943sc and closed at about 941ac.
February quiet and quotably about 1c over
January, ranging at 955s@964c, and
closed at about sec. May trading light
and sales ranged at $1.O1@LO1ss and
closed at $1.o1A 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 per bushel for cash and 3 &c for
year and December, while January and
May declined but a trifie below yesterdays
closing figures, and at one time sold
higher. The market toward the close
ruled trifie steadier, and finally closed
24c 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
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 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 prophesy
that corn would be delivered
on year contracts before the day was over,
1t was 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
corner here. This sustained the year, as
it was thought the prospect was good for
that coming up to spot.
No. 2 and high mixed sold at 55%@
56Ac, with few cars, special location, at
SIC, and closed at 551ac. Rejected sold at
46@46Hc, and closed at 46c New mixed
sold at 47@4711ac, and few cars sold early
at 47A @ 4Sc, closing at 47c. Sample corn
sold quite freely on shipping account at
materially lower prices; offerings liberal
and exceeded the demand. December and
year ruled active, and sold at 4A@5716c,
and closed at 55Ic. January fairly
active and sold at 52@ 53c and closed at
52Bc. February rather quiet, quotably
I@Ac under January; sales reported at
514@523sc, possibly trading at other
prices. May, moderate trading, with sales
at SAG 544c, and closed at 541ac.
Oats-Operators in light attendance and
little disposition was shown to trade.
Market very quiet. The feeling was easy.
Futures ranged shade under the inside
or clearing prices of yesterday. Cash No.
2 sold 11s@1Ac below yesterdays early
sales; car lots of No. 2 sold at 34A q 35c
Demand very light. Rejected nominal at
about 3O@31. Sample lots more freely
offered, owing to liberal receipts.
These, too, were weaker, and the
demand less than the supply and
consignments not all sold. Futures
were dull and rather neglected. Trading
light. Market weak and prices ranged Il
@3ac below yesterdays inside or closing
prices. December and year sold at 344@
35Ac closing at 1870. January ranged
at s411s@a4115c, outside early, closing at
341sc. May sold at 3558@35%c with a
sale late in the session at 351a. The mar
ket closed at $500.
| Bye, in sympathy with the decline in
corn and an absence of orders, was dull
and 10 lower.
Barley, the arrivals we're larger, consign-
ments all held on track, and while sample
lots were plenty there was no in store bar
ley of account to trade in. Demand light
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
eign advices rather unfavorable, and lard
| quoted &c lower. Eastern markets with
| out material change. The receipts of pro-
duct were fair, and the shipments of all
kinds unusually heavy. The demand for
mess pork was moderatalv activo md III
