CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, December S-New
Workers. started in early to-day 10
finish up the selling which they began
Yesterday near the close. The only car
| rier that declining prices met was tne
demand from holders OF puts" but II
proved to be potent enough to support the
| market and prevent any further serious
| break. There was considerable liqulda,
| ton by Disguised holders, who could nnd
| an advance in the situation. and who were
disposed TO view the accommodating stocks
| as overcoming and specious reasoning
| OF the bulls. There was no news 70
hand. and no disposition to make new
deals until after the first Of the new year;
| No. red winter wheat was worked
here. May wheat opened at from oIif 20
| 57Iha57ssc., sold at 6%g57xc.. declined
| to 51iSc, and closed at Nc.--SsqAc. unde!
