Chicago, Dec. 2S.-New Workers started
in early to-day to finish up the selling
which began yesterday near the close.
The only barrier that declining prices met
was the demand of. those holding puts.
There was considerable liquidation by
disguised holders who could find no i'm
vance in the situation and who were dis
posed to view the accommodating stocks as
overcoming any speclous reasoning or
the bulls. There was no news to hand
and no disposition to make new deals
until after the first of the new year. No
red winter wheat was worked here for
shipment in the spring, May wheat OBJ
ened from 571ae to 5I3sQoI9sc; sold az 5t9s
G5TAc; declined to 571sc, closing at 3I9sc-
Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat In the
car lot market was quiet and unchanged

motive and action. The tone was weak,
although values were not much under
4S14c to 4S1kGD4S14c; sold between 4S3sG4Sc,
closing at 48ls0l481Ae--a shade under yes
terday. Cash corn was unchanged.

sympathy with the wheat and corn mar
kets. May closed B9Ac under yesterday

day.

yesterday and Wednesday were the buy
ers of to-day Covering was the main pur-
pose of the demand, but prices were ad-
vanced by the purchasing. The hog mar
ket was firmer to-day, which naturally
tended to have a good effect on provis-
ions. All articles. showed an improve
ment in tone and closed higher. Nav
