CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 2.--There was a surprise in
store for operators in wheat in this market; it
came IN the wav OF sharp decline instead Of adj
vance they had calculated on. The opening
strong and y to $+c higher than closing figures
OF Monday, Influenced possibly by light deliv-
cries OF January contracts and decrease of 800,
OO0 bushels In quantity passage, but soon after
opening speculative offerings became quite heavy
and steady shriukage in prices followed which
continued until adecline of ~ estabi sIfed,
when the market temporarily rallied &c, again
became weak, declining to inside range OF the
day and closing about TIC lower than Monday.
Corn ruled rather qniet most OF the session,
though at times it exhibited mode rate activity
and the feeling. conSidsrf nag the reaction in
wheat was relatively steady, and after the east
ness displayed around the opening, the mar
ket raled conlaI ativeIy firm and closed
1sGI4c lower than Monday.
