CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The aggregate trading
in wheat to-day was unusually large, but the
feeling was unsettled and prices generally
ruled lower. The cables came in strong and the
export clearings were large, but the amount
of wheat on ocean passage disclos ed an IN
crease of l.. 440, 900 blu, which had an apparent
tendency to depress values. 1t was also
known that several large orders to sell some
''long' wheat came from New York, and as
the offerings were free on this account, they
tended to lower prices. May delivery opened
at $3.50, or &c higher than last nights ofhclal
closing, fell off steadily to S515c, but began TO
cally toward the close and advanced to $3.50,
closing at that figure. The opening in corn
was a shade better, advanced &c, fell Dack
ek@15c, but rallied and closed at about the
best prices of the day. Oats ruled steady and
closed at about the same figures as on yester-
day. There was an active speculation IN pro-
visions. shorts in mess pork bought freely
at the opening and advanced 71aGlOc per Dbl,
receded 10000, rallied 104I5c, but fell back
10Ql215c, and closed at inside figures Lard
was 21595c lower per 100 lbs, and short rlos
receded 1215c per 100 lbs.
