CHICAGO. Dec. I3.-The wheat market to-
day opened 14(G3Sc lower, and Immediately
began to decline under an excess of offerings.
The pat" price of Yesterday he'd the market
Tor awhile, but the pressure TO sell was too
great to resist, and the whole list of OPTIONS
went down to the lowest point of the wear
thus iaf-lO9sc for January and others in pro-
portion. May kept company with the nearer
options, and yielded more readily than thew
If any thing. There was no apparent cause
Tor TINS extra weakness unless it was the pre-
carfOus condition of railway stocks. Liver
pool was quiet, with a further decline of 9d
per GENITAL for California club and Id for
Michigan white and American spring. Mark
Lane was also quiet but steady. The receipts
are increasing. Those at Milwaukee have
doubled IN two days, and ours figured up 472
cars this morning against 253 Yesterday This
probably was the primal cause Of the overflow
Of offerings. but on the other hand it was re-
ported that the export purchase at New York
this week had been about 5000 bushels with
good increase at other points. Cash wheat
at the close was 1O(9701Sc. The corn market
was very quiet to-day, but little lower in
sympathy with wheat. 4 quiet market at
Liverpool was reported, and the receipts here
were l4l cars against 81 yesterday. The
grading. however, was not as good, Tor out of
all the receipts only cars were put with No.
2. Traders are very reluctant to bid up prices
here, when they already seem to be high
enough IN comparison with wheat, oats and
pork, and also nigh enough for competition
with other primary markets of the land; year
and May fell OF about &c, but the smallness
OF the amount in store prevented any further
decline. Oats were zs'a4c lower and duh.
February PORK opened at SO Is and sold down
to $40 is. February lard opened points
lower st 90 and sold down to 6 55.
