Chicago, Dec 1S.-Some laid to-dav's
break in wheat TO the cables which at the
close, were lower for all European mar
kets; others claimed that 1t was due to
the confirmation of the glowing reports of
the condition of the Argentine CROP whilst
by far the most plausible excuse given,
seemed to be general fatigue on the part
OF the holders who had accommodations Of
wheat, taken on earlier in the week and
who, finding that all the bull talk was
without avail and that statistical data
went for naught, concluded to sacrifice
their property and await a more auspi-
clous time for campaign of higher prices
Under the activity incident to the slump
business wore a holiday appearance, and
the talk was that a quiet market would
prevail, May, wheat opened from 59Ac to
5y2sd5y4c, sold between 59A 6I597sc and
5SB@59c, closing at 1874 @59zsc under yes
terday. Cash wheat was firm to nc per
bushel higher, but closed nominally weak
with the futures
Corn-When wheat lost its strength
corn dropped back in sympathy today
May corn opened from sos to 501bc. sold
between 505s@5O24c anC. 4s7sG5Oc, closing at
50c-12c under yesterday. Cash corn sold
nc per bushel higher
Oats. were inactive to-day and dropped
fraction or two during the latter portion
of the session. May closed Ac lower than
yesterday. Cash oats were firm and Xc
higher whilst trading was in progress. but
sympathized with the weakness of futures
later.
Provisions-Prices for. product ruled
higher than yesterday during the DAVIS
session. At the close, however, they were
considerably below the high point. owing
to the declining tendency of grain, specu.
lation in provisions, following the same di-
rection. Reports from the stock yards
early gave much lighter run of hogs than
expected, and quoted an advance of 100
per hundred pounds. This had a good
effect on the provision market, causing a
substantial gain in prices. January pork
and January lard each gained &c for the
day and January ribs PFC.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
