CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-On Change to day the
general situation was featureiess, the heavy
tone in wheat continuing to prevail and lower
prices ruling. Commission men openly complain
that speculation is at low ebb, and that there
is no apparent inclination to push prices very
hard either way. The feeling in the wheat pit
was one of weakness. The starting price was
&c lower, at 90sc for May, which proved the
highest quotation for the day The market
dropped off steadily to colo. where it received
some support, and rallied to 90sc, but fell back
again to the lowest point. The fight on the regu
lar board was about the figure and no sales
were effected at lower figure than 90ac for May.
In the afternoon there was a further break,
some large transactions being made at that
figure, and the market closed at about inside
prices. Corn was depressed. early, in sympathy
with wheat but recovered, the year option clos
ing at about the same figure as yesterday. Pro
visions were weak, mess pork declining 10 cents,
and lard .023c lower. Flour was dull and I'M
