CHICAGO. December 1s.-The price Of
Nav wheat in the first bunch OF transac-
tions was at from 81 00iz 10 81 00i4, but the
opinion of the majority regarding the pub
| lie importance of Kean X Co. was soon
manifested in an advance TO 81 COS, be-
tween which figures and 81 OOll the trading
of the next twenty minutes took place. BY
10 O'Clock fresh ground had been broken
and :! OIL X was paid for a few lots. The
news which came to hand was mixed in
character and was capable Of supplying
ammunition to each of the contending par
ties. with the preponderance, however. in
| favor of the bulls. That which appeared
to strike the spectators most forcioly was
| the clear increase of wheat and the heavy
clearances Of flour from the port of New
York. Reports of damage TO winter wheat
| from dry weather and Hessian NY were
| likewise so numerous and from so VIDE an
area as to create a feeling OF uneasiness
among the shorts. The corn market was
nervous and unsettled at the opening ana
| there was a good attendance in the trading
mir Prices closed at about the lowest
point of the day Oats, fair trade and mar
ket closed &c lower than yesterday. Pre-
visions moderately active at lower figures.
