CHICAGO, December 6-The lower prices
which were the outcome of the days trad
ing do not reflect any opinion of distrust in
the grain situation, but are the natural out
come of the sympathy which spectators in
food commodities never fail to express
when any other commercial interest suffers.
Wheat closed &c lower, corn lost &c, oats
&c and provisions were also sharply lower.
The failure in New Orleans of Mayer &
Co was the principal cause of the decline
in wheat. There was a reaction in May
shortly after the opening, but those who
had covered wheat on the up turn again
turned around as sellers, and the short
lived strength was replaced by another
and more lasting spell of radical weak
ness. Distrust in money matters was the
sole cause of the subsequent decline. Corn
was strong at the opening, but the weak
ness in wheat started Il subsequent decline
and caused slump to 53llc. Oats were
quiet and without individuality. PrCyi-
sions quiet with decline in prices. Flour,
