CHICAGO. Dec 22-The wheat pit was occu-
pied by sellers at the opening to the exclusion
of buyers, at prices prevailing when the market
closed on Saturday. The selling impetus at the
opening carried the price of May to 999sc after
a short preliminary struggle aroun1 931Sc.
There was a very little upward reaction, the
dead heavineSs continuing up to the last mo-
ment OF the session. The lowest price of the
day was 9S1Sc, and that was made Just as the
closing separated still eager operators. The
tendency of the corn market was almost stead
lily downward from the commencement to the
closing of business. The opening price of May
was 5314c. with one or two sales at 53Ssc. Tie
opening was the highest of the day. and the
closing, though not the extreme lowest, was
near enough to be virtually so called. The most
remarkable caange was in December. which.
from SIC at the close OF Saturday, had dropped
to ACC in the course of to-day's trading. All the
influences IN the oat pit we're bsarish, and the
stump in corn caused break in May to 1916
against 1870 at the opening. Provisions opened
fairly steady smaller number of hogs re.
ported at the yards than had been estimated.
There was an immediate offering of such guam
titles of the product more especially of Pork.
as caused tie latter article TO decline rapidly
from S11 90 for May to $40 S21S after sale or
two at the start at $11 O IS The closing price
shows decline OF 121ac per barrel Lard was
weak but the decline wa only Pie. Ribs only
suffered to an equal extent with lard. Packers
we're sellers for the most part and shorts were
buyers.
