CHICAGO, Nov, 28.-The price of wheat continued
downward to-day, closing 1l4c under yesterday fig
ures. The trading was again on an enormous scale,
tremendous lines being thrown ON the market, owing
to a continuation of large receipts and the fear that
increase. The market developed signs of strength
several times during the session, January advancing
to. $500 once or twice, but this was
followed in each instance by offerings, of such
magnitude that the market sunk under them,
carrying January down to S4lsc, and closing only
fractionally above the lowest figures of the day. The
general situation was very akin to that of yesterday,
and the market was governed by nearly the same in
tuences. The market has now declined about 84c
from the top prices reached during the late boom,
January having sold on Nov. 16 at 923ac. The rally
toward the close was attributed to a rumor that nine
teen boat-loads had been taken at New York for ex-
port. The receipts of corn were liberal and the weather
hne, but not cold enough to improve the grading.
The market ruled weak, in sympathy with wheat,
the near options declining 12c, while the distant futures
remained steady. Trading in oats was entirely specu-
lative and confined mainly to the NAV delivery. The
market ruled firm in spite of the weakness in the other
markets, closing l4O3sc higher than yesterday. Mess
pork was only moderately active, advancing 5000
early, but falling back again toward the close. The
trading IN lard was light, prices ruling steady.
Flour was duh and neglected, with no quotable
change in prices. Dealers declare that it is doubtful
whether a reduction of 15025c would incr ease sales.
Wheat was weak, unsettled and nervous. Prices
declined ll2c under yesterday, and closed 4c lower.
The sales ranged; November, S3I20S5c, closing at
o3a4c; December. S34OS54c, closing at "a 4c; jan
