prices quoted in the speculative list were
current at the opening, after which to the
close of the session there was gradual
decline, accompanied by corresponding
weakness. Notwithstanding the statements
frequently made on the floor that the crowd
as whole are bullish, nearly all the pits
to-day contained more sellers than buyers.
Offerings in everything were inclined to be
free, holders being uneasy over the gradual
accumulation of stocks in elevators.
In wheat there was large speculative
business transacted, and the market weaker.
At the opening the market was trife
higher, but the speculative offerings be-
came very liberal, based upon anticipated
larger receipts, and when the car lots were
posted, showing the inspection to be 500
cars, the offerings were further increased
and prices in all declined 11s@14c below
outside prices. The receipts at otser mar
kets were also large. The markets finally
recovered, and closed about 1fc lower than
the closing figures on change yesterday.
Foreign advices quoted steady feeling.
No shipping demand. Vessels
were engaged to carry $4,000 bushels.
On call the demand was quite active and
prices about 1s@4c higher. Trading was
principally in January.
Corn was moderately active but decld
edly lower, November closing about 1c
lower than at 1 o'clock yesterday, Decem-
Der &c lower, the year &c lower, January
5sc lower and May $50 lower. The early
sales were at about the closing figures of
yesterday, but when wheat began to weak
en- corn quickly followed and was still
further weakened by the reported decline
in New York, and November fell off 20
from the opening, December &c
Off, year 20 off January &c
off, and May q c off, then rallied trifie,
changed some and closed rather easy. Yes
sells were engaged to carry IFS, ,0o0 bushels.
On call there was good demand and
prices were about &c higher.
For oats there was little change in
the general state of the market. Specu-
lative trading was again light, with the at
tendance of operators small. On the sam
pie market trade on local and shipping
account was quite satisfactory. The
offerings were small and the demand
was only for making up round
lots to deliver on contract. Vessels were
engaged to carry 10000 bushels. On call
the market was moderately active and
prices about &c higher.
Rye was quiet and slow at the same
prices for cash, but the speculative part of
the trade was neglected, and there was
little disposition shown to operate. Re
jected and the lower grades by sample
were very dull. Little or nothing was done
on the shipping account. There was some
little speculative demand, but scarcely
enough to hold the market steady. On call
the market was quiet and steady, and
prices unchanged but no sales.
Barley was dull and easier. A few cars
Of No. . were sold; at the same time there
was hardly enough doing to make mar
ket. There was no decline, and the mar
ket was dull. The unfavorable turn of
the market was particularly noticeable in
the sample trade. Censignments OF Ne
braska had to be put in store as the only
means of selling them. Lower grades
exceedingly dull.
| In -four q very quiet market was notice
able and trading was more than usually
| light, with home dealers looking about and
making fair bids. Shipping and export
stock was hardly selling at all, with buy
ers scarce and not disposed to pay
the prices. Rye -four was dull. Buck
| wheat flour was more than usually slow
Bran and all millstuffs were quite firm.
In the market for provisions there was
a fairly active trade reported, more par
| ticularly on speculative account. The in
quiry was moderately active early on local
| and outsids account, and prices were fairly
supported, but toward noon the demand
sIackened considerably, while the offer
ings were more free and prices gradually
declined on all leading descriptions and
ruled quiet to the close, Foreign advices
| quoted weaker feeling and
Is reduction in pork. East
ern markets were without material
alteration. The receipts of product were
not very large, but. the shipments of al
kinds were unusually heavy.
A fair business was reported in the mar
ket for mess pork, but the feeling was un
unsettled. prices fCctuated considerably
within moderate range. The
offerings were quite liberal and
the demand freely active but
trading was confined largely to the longe
deliveries. Prices were stronger and 21ac
| a Sc higher early, but weeker feeling
set in and prices declined 10cG 15c and
closed rather tame. The inquiry for
shipment was moderate il the way Of fill
ing small orders. On call there was fan
demand and prices shade higher. Trad
ing was almost wholly confined to Febru
ery.
| A good business was transacted in the
| lard M arket, bat the feeling was somewhat
unsettled and prices ruled irregular. Short:
purchased rather freely early, ens
| prices ruled 5d10c higher Pc
100 pounds but weaker
feeling prevailed later and this improve
ment was lost more particularly on the
more deferred deliveries. The shipping
demand was moderate. On call lard wa
in good reques. and prices steady ant
