On Change.

ST. PkuL, Dec. IA, 'S3.-The weather Yesterday
morning was very mild and indicated contin-
vance of the extraordinary spring weather Of
the past week producing the natural enervating
effect upon business. At the board of trade
there was but light attendance, but although
the wires showed prices off, both at Chicago and
Milwaukee there was no perceptible weakening
IN prices On wheat and at the call quotations re-
manned as at Wednesdays board. There was,
however, no spirit shown to speculate in OPP
tons; and spot wheat was decidedly fat. De-
cembsr was en9uired after at CSC. with sell
ers. In oats there was more interest shown
and buyers advanced from 1c to &c
on present and futures, and sellers probably In
view of tie extraordinarily mild weather were
inclined to give way a little. As a representa-
tive sale we mention Car of No. mixed sold
at soc, January and February oats were wanted
at la &c advance respectively. There was
quite lively demar for May oats at S514c.
There vas quite healthy tone shown in old
corn: futures-Janary and February freely
inquired after at 55c with no sellers. Nav was
held a. &c in advance of Yesterdays quotations.
There is little movement in ground feed, owing
TO tt C want of winter weather. Corn and oats
are sufficiently high to warrant considerable
advance upon present quotations of
ground feed and should cold snap come the
market must advance. The indications. how
ever, are that there will be an extremely open
winter, which will hold coarse grains and feed
IN check sufficiently to compensate for the
shortage of crops. On change $40. so was
bid for ground feed.
It seems as though hay will never reach bot
tom prices. 1t was thought that baled hay
could not get bellows, but yesterday lot of good
sound hay was offered for $780, A car of good
sound clover and timothy mixed was offered at
IS. sc and car OF prime timothy was sold at
50. There was quite a lively demand for
dressed hogs and the price quickly ran up from
$5.25 to 1915 bid and Sc asked.
As representative sale we mention
a car of hogs, weights not stated at So. so. May
eggs we're asked for at l3c with no sellers. Mess
PORK declined Sec. splendid sample of
Scotch fife wheat was shown from the keystone
