CHICAGO, December 16.-There was o
fair amount of trading in wheat and the
feeling developed was unsettled The OPP
ening was strong with prices &c higher,
May starting at 81 ic, and advanced quick
ly to S5i on firm foreign news and n
steadier feeling on the New York stock
market. When the decline in stocks again
began and the New York money market
was reported as stringent, the tone became
heavier and May dropped off to size, raj
lied to S5sc, and closed for the day at S5sc.
The feeling was steady at the close Corn
very quiet and steady, oats steady, pro-
visions about the same as yesterday.
