CHICAGO, Jan. 2-The action Of the wheat
market here to-day was a surp Use and disap-
pointmenr to the majority Of the operators.
The crowd had apparently loaded up last week,
with the expectation that the advent of the new
year would bring revival Of trade and better
prices, but the reverse happened. Prices. in
stead OF gong up, went OOWO, ana Clere was
very little recovery. Deliveries on January
contracts here were light, but there was ar
unusual pressure TO sell for this month, with
very little call FOR it, snd discount increased.
dropping to 654c under May, against 511Q65Sc
on Thursday. The pressure to sell January,
and the weakness OF that month, had a de-
pressing effect on May There was practically
no outside trade, and the local sentiment was
bearish, hence free offerings were dead
weight, and no one seemed disposed to take
care Of them or give any support to the market.
January, which closed at 9O16c on Thurs
ss1hc, and closed at eS3sc. May.
which closed 9576 Thursday, opened at
$3.50, selling at once at $3.50. sag2ed of stead
lily to 04ssc, and closed at 947Sc, a loss Of tc
Corn was quiet and inclined to weakness early
in the day, but lna ly steadied and held fairly
firm. The weakness in wheat made corn easy
at the start, but stronger cables and free export
movement finally caused a stronger tone. Ex-
ports in corn for the entire month of
November were only 2,06s,0OO bushels,
but for last week the shipments were
2 PSI, 001 bushes-7>6 900 bushels during the last
two days. Deliveries on January contracts
amounted to about 800, 900 bushels, and this was
a weakening factor early. The close was steady
at the bottom figures of the day and at losses
ranging from 4c 10 NC for various futures com
pared with Thursday. Oats were dull
and weak and closed with a loss of
16095c Hog products opened higher, but
i EN- it was known that large receipts of hogs
were expected Monday and next week, there
was a sharp decline. This was also assisted by
rather free deliveries, which the recipients
undertook to get rid Of. There was some re-
covery from the bottom figures, however, aud
the close shows moderate losses for pork aud
ribs, while lard is unchanged to a little higher.
