by n sharp Raily-Corn Weak and
Easy-A Tumble in Oats.
CHICAGo-The speculative side of the whea'
| market was rather surprise to-day, ruling dul
and weak early and very strong and more active
later. Traders were rather puzzled at the &C
tion of the market. Operators no doubt tounc
themselves short toward the close and wert
anxious to cover. Some foreign buying of fu
| lures was mentioned. A prominent local trader
was the principal seller around S3c for Decem
ber, and another large operator, together will
some other local bull contingents, took the OF
| ferings
The market opened easy, and prices recedec
| H@ssc below yesterdays closing, after which
the market advanced ss@11c, ruled steady fol
some time. with later rally Of Nc more ano
closed about HQlc higher than yesterday

An easier feeling was manifested in corn,
| transactions being at lower prices within mar
row range. There was considerable pressure !.
| to sell May, this future receiving the most at
tentlon, there being one trade OF l0O,OO bushels
| at S24c. The temper of the local crowd was
bearish and offerings at times were quite heavy.
There was also quite free selling by receivers
A good many orders were on the market to
change the nearer months to May at about PC
| premium for the latter month. The market
| opened at about yesterdays closing quotations,
and under liberal offerings sold of &c, rallied
Nc, became firmer and closed about the same
| as yesterday.
The oats market showed further depression
| to-day under the large offerings by longs, who
| again unloaded freely. The result was another
Zc break in prices, which earned the market
down TO about the lowest point touched in g
decade. Cash and October receded to 1880
lS1Sc, and at one time May sold as low as 2l5%c.
Little interest was manifested in the market
for hog products and the feeling was compare,
lively steady. Only orders were scarce, and
