Chicago, Dec. 22-There was unusual
activity in the wheat PIT for the greater part
OF the session today. There was very little
news from the outside received, and the BUSH
ness was for the most part in the way of
liquidating sales by longs and covering by
shorts. The price OF May at one time was
forced to 651sc and it would appear that there
was purpose in making a market at that
price. At all events a number of stop loss"
orders were caught on the drain, and for a
opening was about A0Nc lower than yes
terday, became weak and declined
nc, improved some and the close 5s0
&c under yesterday for May. Corn was lower
early in the day, but firnier feeling devel.
oDed on covering by shorts. The opening
was easy at NC decline, owing to the weak
ness in wheat. Prices held steady for time
and then advanced 56aAc, receding some
when the estimates for tomorrow were made
public but resting steady later, and the close
showed net .oss OF but Ac for the day.
Oats The only feature to this market, was
the covering by shorts. There was a very
good business transacted within a narrow
range OF prices. May at the close was nc
under yesterday. Provisions ruled strong at
the opening, and prices we're advanced all
| round. The appreciation In values was fairly
! well maintained throughout The entire SEES.
