CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, December 4-The OPEN

promising one. Wheat was up from Il

yesterday, the other cereals exhibiting
equal strength. In wheat the advance

situation and selling freely. Among the
noted local professionals who disposed or

following. Partridge was also an Pctlve
seller. Bradsueet's report OF the worlds

prices dropping back to the lowest point
of the session, the decline being checked
by buying against puts. May wneat

eO2sc., and closed at e0lga6%c.-Ac. lower
than yesterday. Cash wheat trading was
at an advance of Mc. per bushel over
yesterday, but the nominal close was
weak. with the futures.
Corn-After previously resisting all ef-
forts at depression the market gave way
to selling, I'm sympathy with wheat. during
the latter part OF the session. May corn
opened at 1880, sold between 1915 and
49llc., closing az iSlaGiS%c-a shade higher

higher prices ruled in that branch Of the
trade. The average advance was &c.

than yesterday. Cash oats were irm.
Trading was at an advance Of A91sc.,
the close being nOminally easier.
Proyisions-The product market was
without feature, prices drifting downward
from lack OF support. The live-hog mar
ket was weak and lower, which furnished
the excuse for weakness early. Later. the
direction taken By wheat was initiated
by provisions. and the close was at the
lowest point OF the day. The worlds
stocks Of lard were said 70 have Increased
/ 5000 tierces during the past month. which
was an item I'm favor OF weakness. The
closing prices were 22Hc. lower than yes
terday for January pork. l0al2ac. lower
for January lard, and l2lsc. lower for
( January ribs.
