| CHICAGO, Dec. s.-With the exception of a
temporary firm feeling early i'll the session,
wheat ruled weak and heavy most of the day.
| and prices dropped slightly below the lowest
point reached yesterday. The opening was
about lac higher than yesterdays closing, and
advanced &c more without any special reason,
excepting that offerings were not large aud the
demand moderate. But at the advance
| speculative offerings became heavy and prices
| declined &c. Then the market became strong
| on report of 1000 bushels having C cared
from New York. and prices again rallied, the
market advancing to the outside range. the
| advance, however. was not with liberal otfer-
| ings, which again turned prices downward, and
then declined 1886. On this decline it was
rumored that considerable long wheat had
| been closed out by parties VINO had recently
turned bulls. Later the market ruled trifie
steadier, and the closing was about sc lower
| than Yesterday. Corn ruled quiet and steady,
| with trading of light local character, fiuctua-
tons being limited to &c range Opening sales
we're at a slight advance over the closing prices
OF yesterday, after which the market became
duh and neglected, closing trifie better than
Yesterday. Oats were fairly active but unset
tied. The opening was steady. especially for
September and May delivery, which were in
qulred for more freely. Holders showed little
disposition to sell. and prices were bid up 150
SC with very light trading. Firmness in near
futures caused better feeling in May delivery,
| and prices advanced NC. This brought in fair
filled up decline to opening prices followed.
and the close was easy. Quite an active specu-
lative business reported in mess pork, and
a weak and unsettled feeling prevailed during
| tbs greater part Of the session. Opening sales
were made at yesterdays closing figures. and a
reduction of 35637c was submitted TO later in
the day Toward the close the feeling was
steadier, and prices rallied 2l9G5c and closed
steady fairly active trade was reported in
the lard market, but the feeling was weak, and
prices suffered decline Of from 1716c to 2Jc.
Near the close the market was steader, but
trading was light. Trading was moderately
| active in short ribs, and the market ruled
| rather weaker during a greater portion OF
change. Prices ruled somewhat irregular and
| declined 12lS615c and the market closed quiet
| at about inside figures.
