CHICAGO, Dec. l6.-Un Cnange to-day the
| general situation was featureless, the heavy
tone in wheat continuing to prevail and lower
prices ruling. Commission men openly claim
| that speculation is at low ebb, ana that
! there "a no apparent effort to push prices. The
| feeling in the wheat pit was one OF extreme
| Weakness. The starting point was 5sc lower
| nj 9l7Sc for May, which proved the highest
| for the day. The market dropped to YOHc.
| when II received some support and rallied TO
| 905Sc but fell again to the lowest point. The
fght on the regular board was about this
| figure. and no sales we're effected at lower
| fgnres than 9014c for May. In the afternoon
| there was further break, some large trans
| actions being made at that figure, aud closed
| al about the inside price. Corn was depressed
! early in sympathy with wheat but re covered,
| wear opti0n closing az about the same figure
