CHICAGO. December 1.-THE wheat mar
ket opened tame at decline Of &c. The
cables were easier in tone, and there APP
peared to be a remarkable scarcity of or
ders on either side of the market. Fluc-
tuatiOns were narrow. The dispatches
were almost uniformly bullish, and the re-
fusal of prices 10 follow the urging they
received indicates much smaller open in
terest than usual in the market. Itwould
appear, therefore, that the direct effect OF
the recent uneasineSs in financial affairs
has been TO cause a conservative lessening
of commercial obligations in all directions,
including the grain and provision trades
On the publication of bull news there was
occasional spurts Of lta4s, which were i'm
mediately succeeded by a cessation of trad
ing. The corn deal was confined TO range
of l.aaLc and that indicates the llfelesness
of the business. Oats were steady. Pro
visions, trading only moderate ana market
ruled steady. Flour, steady and unchanged.
