CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, December 1.-THE corn
market held wheat during the early part
OF the session to-day, but nothing that
could be urged In favor OF prices served
to sustain II during the last hour, The
decline that set in shortly after midday
received no check until the lowest price
at which puts sold yesterday was reached:
The buying was not OF very substantial
character. consisting mainly OF covering
purchases, but IL was evident that the
selling was participated In by at least
two of the local heavy-weights.
The opening took weakness from Liver
pool, where quotations were from y 70
Id. lower. Then gradual hardening took
place, with as previously has been stated,
corn leading When calls were struck
the selling pressure began to be felt. and
all support was withdrawn, prices suffer-
ing quite a severe break. Expectancy re-
garding the special government report on

cereal to-day. There was an enormous
number OF calls sold last night, the sellers

closing hour lost much OF their vim and

around the opening, which was trihe

corn opened at 49lAc., sold between. oOg
50k and 497sc., and closed at 4s9sc.-a frac-
ton higher than yesterday: Cash corn
was strong and Nc per bushei higher.
Oats-The alternate weakness and
strength in wheat and corn varied the
tone Of oats to-day, but the business was
too Insignificant to move prices 10 any
appreciable extent. May oats closed UNI

firm and Ac. per bushei higher
Provisions-rhe only feature Of product
to-day was the effort OF local pfofts-
sionai and scalper to hold prices up 50
that he might dispose OF some long pork.
The market was weak early. on the situa-
ton at the yards. where hogs were IN
abundance, but later Armed with corn.
