CHICAGO, Dec. %. There was a very stroug
feeling in wheat early in the day, owing to the
small increase in the visible supply and shorts"
bought freely the May option advancing to 91ac,
but this proved the top figure for the day. The
offerings were moderately large at this price, and
toward the close of the regular board the feeling
became easier May dropping to 90sc. In the after
noon there was a sharp break to 90c owing to the
news from New York of the outward movement
of gold and the decline in stocks. For time the
feeling was quite panicky, the offerings being
very large. but the tone became a little steader,
when inside figures were touched and no sales
were reported under 90c. Corn was a little
stronger early, but broke later, year delivery
closing &c lower on the regular board, and de-
clining fraction additional in the afternoon
The receipts were larger, and graded well. Oats
