slaught of the Sellers-Corn Dumped,
No One Wanting to Hold It
Other Weak Spots.
CHICAGO-The market for wheat opened
about Nc higher than it closed yesterday. The
first general trading price was J71Sc. There
were two or three trades made at o75sc. but the
great majority of the crowd were vainly en-
deavoring to sell at that. There was gradual
and inannate dragging decline until the price
struck 9T114 and this point being reached busi-
ness ceased almost entirely for a couple of
hours, About u o'clock the intensified dull
ness of the proceedings was relieved for short
time by slight increase of selling pressure,
during which the price fell to $3.50 in few
minutes.
The downward impetus impaired to the mar
ket woke it completely from 1t previous somno-
lescent condition and there was a moderate
degree of activity while prices retreated before
the onslaught of the sellers until May was
quoted at 9GA@9G3sc or about lc per bushel
below yesterdays closing price. There was
only slight recovery toward the following con-
tinued of the previous weakness and the mar
ket closed 91sc for July. July was maintain
ed during the greater part of the session at
a discount of about 454@4c5sc under May
The corn market was moderately Steady but
fearfully and wonderfully dull until wheat be-
gan its tumbing, after which no one had any
use for corn but as an article to be disposed of
on the shortest possible notice and without any
particular regard to the price attainable. The
opening price for May was about Lc improve
ment on the prices at the close of preceding
sessions. The fluctuations were confined be-
tween 5l5sc and 5l14c during the forenoon but
when the break started the price quickly set
tied until it finally touched 5Ossc. The closing
price. 5C34@507sc, shows decline since Friday
of about &c per bushe
Oats were quiet and steady around 433lG44c
tor May until the last half hour when PardIidge
raided the market. causing decline to 4314
The trading was light and all ON local account.
The provision market started lower, appar-
emily because there were rather more hogs than
had been looked for, and they were bringing
lower prices at the yards. There was steady
feeling during the earlier hours of the session.
but later decided weakness was the rule and
prices made an easy descent. from which there
was no subsequent change, weakness being the
prevailing feeling at the close. The packers
were free sellers of ribs. Closing prices were
lower considerably than on Friday for all de-
scriptious of products. Pork declined 20c to
! 2215c. lard ~ to &c, and ribs 10c to 1215c.

OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, I
SATURDAY. Dec. q, 1880 :
Produce and Cereals.

SATURDAY. Dec. ~, loSU.
Produce and Cereals.
The first half of Christmas week shows
unusual activity in produce lines. This,
for two good reasons, viz, the snow blockade
OF the last half of the previous week, and
favorable weather for Christmas buying.
Weather was all that could be desired until
Thursday night, and the multitude OF con-
sumers made the most of their opportunity.
Poultry was active at an advance, and more
turkeys than were on the market could have
been sold. The fear of a potato famine has in
measure subsidized, and prices are not up to the
former level. There is more objection to the
cost of the potatoes on our market. 1t seems
rough to pay nearly as much per bushel as is
paid in the average season per barrel and then
have 25 per cent waste, owing to inferior quail
ity A good, dry, perfect potato is almost out
of the question. Fancy apples are in good de-
mand, Notwithstanding the fact that they are
selling almost as high as oranges. Southern
and Western eggs have had sharp drop dur
ing the week, but have rallied slightly since the
old-time winter set in. Supply OF nearly
fresh eggs has not been up to demand for
some weeks past. and prices are well main
tanned. Since the powers that be have
given their decision in favor OF the sale OF
oleomargarine in Pennsylvania if sold in
original packages. there is an improvement as
well as a more cheerful feeling among the
dealers who a short time ago were being hunted
out and down by Government detectives. The
cereal situation gives no signs of improvement.
The opposite IS true, and corn. oats and wheat
are weak at decline since last Monday. The
common complain. among operators is tight
money. The wherewithal to purchase. and the
time for posting books being SO near at hand,
buyers are only supplying immediate
wants. What is true of the cereal
trade is also true in a measure of the
wholesale grocery trade. The past week has
been quiet and the next week is expected to be
rather more SO. After January settlements
general improvement IN jobbing interests is
anticipated by merchants who ought to know.
The run of live stock was unusually light
this week. and with the light run, markets
were barely steady for desirable beeves and
slow on common and low grades. Turkey and
game were given the preference over staple
meats around the Christmas boards, and hence
the light demand for the latter.
Hides Still Quiet.
The Quietness noted in this column last Sat
urday, to hide market, still prevails. Fol-
lowing are prices paid for stock delivered here:

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 28.-A fisherman,
who reached here last evening, brings in
telligence thata large unknown iron bark is

the fisherman in his boat, but owing to a
heavy gale he was unable to get near it.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-The drygoods market

mined upon a 15c lower basis than last year, in
view of the low price of print cloths. The

rimacks and the Manchesters have all opened
at &c yard, and Gloucesters at SIC. Other
announcements are yet deferred, but they will
doubtless be on about the same besis.

MONEY MARKET.
The Improvement Noted Week Ago
Continues-NothinC Pinched.

The local monetary situation the past week
was encouraging to borrowers as well as the
general public. as showing that the stringency
had almost entirely disappeared. Regular Gus
toners were promptly accommodated, and con-
siderable outside paper was discounted, but the
doors have not been thrown wide open to the
latter Tho bank statements now being pub
lished show that these institutions are unusu-
ally strong.
Considering the weather and other draw
backs the Clearing House report for the five
days of the week is quite satisfactory. IL re-
fleets large volume of business and healthy
condition of the leading industries. While the
gross exchanges were below those of the pre-
Yinns week The avarare was better.
