Hubbard. Price & Co.. cotton circular says:
Being again without foreign advices, the mar
ket has remained very inactive and fluctuations
were without moment Liquidation Of wheat
speculation in Chicago, with enormous losses to
bull operators, has had a tendency to restrict
new operations in cotton, and it seems likely
that the market will develop few features Of
interestuntil after holiday week"

CHICAGO, Dec. GA weak and heavy feeling
existed in wheat to-day, and prices declined to
point 531c low the closing figures OF Mon
day, and closed 51sc lower. All the markets
were in pretty much the same weak and de-
moralized condition. AS prices declined, long
wheat came upon the market, and speculative
offerings were very heavy. Part of the wheat
was brought out by the exhaustion of margins,
and there was no doubt good deal of wheat
closed out by parties who did not see indications
ahead for any immediate turn for the better in
the market The opening was about N0l1c
lower than Saturdays closing, and soon declined
nc more, then held steady for while be-
tween 81 052s and 81 06I4 for May, but later it
again became heavy, declining to 81 OH Here
the market remained awhile, but again weak
spell occurred, prices declining to 2ssc The de-
cline was very rapid, the feeling panicly, and
it was almost impossible to execute orders at
times when the market was most excited at the
limits given. From 81 023s for May, the inside
figures reached, prices rallied 1c very sharply,
again eased Off and closed 51sc lower than tae
closing figures of Saturday. Corn ruled quiet
and firm. closing 1s114c higher than Saturday.
Ac lower. Pork was easier, and sold down 300
3211c from the opening. Prices recovered 216Q1
SC, and the market closed quiet and steady.
Lard was more active and closed steady, and
151171bc lower. Short ribs were active and
closed i0612I5c easier.
