CHICAGO, Dec. 23-There was good trade in
the wheat market to-day. The feeling was
somewhat unsettled. The opening was strong
and about &c higher than Saturdays closing,
but rather free offerin IS, chiefly of long wheat,
created an easier feeling, and prices declined 1S
0l1c, then recovered 140Gssc and ruled sueadier,
closing sc lower than Saturday. Parties who
did most of the buying Saturday were the prin-
cipal sellers to-day. On the decline, at about
SEC for May, quite a good many outside buying
orders were received. Cable advices were gen
orally favorable to holders. Many operators
had calculated on decrease of the visible sup
ply, and this may have influenced selling by
some parties. though the majority OF operators
no doubt acted upon the theory that an advance
would bring out free offerings and q decline
would result, and by selling they expected to
buy in at lower prices again. There was
large business in corn and the feeling was very
weak lower prices being the rule on all futures.
Offerings of more deferred futures were ex-
ceedingiy heavy, especially May delivery which
sold lowest so far on the crop. The market was
influenced chiefly by larger movement, both
here and in the southwest. Oats were modeT-
ately active. weaker and lower. There was free
selling for May by a large private elevator firm,
and only limited demand. Prices declined 15
6A14c and the market closed easy Only fair
trade was reported and the feeling was easy in
pork The market closed steady. Very little
interest was manifested in lard and the feeling
was steady A fair business was transacted IN
ribs, and the feeling was not quite so firm.
Prices averaged about 2l6c lower, and the mar
ket closed steady &C medium figures
