CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL. December 6.-At the
close OF the wheat market to-day, prices
had fully recovered from the weak point
reached early, and were even higher than
at the end OF yesterdays trade. The gov
ernments figures on wheat-feeding, which
were issued yesterday afternoon. did not
confirm the extravagant estimates made
by individuals, but the effect on to-day's
market was very mild. for the reason
that within the past two days influential
parties had quoted an amount suspl-
ciously close 20 that Appropriated by the
DSRtdHGHk Ut w dtHluktOuf
and had operated on that basis. Three
different reports on the growing winter
wheat were out to-day. but the crowd
was pleased to reject them all on account
OF the wide difference shown between
them.
An easy feeling obtained In the market
at the start. prices receding TO a slight
extent during the early part of the ses-
sion, but rallying on covering by shorts
and buying against puts, and presenting

opened at from e0is160A 10 e0c., sold be-
tween 59H and G0lac., and closed at the
latter-&qhc. higher than yesterday.
Cash wheat was easy, sales being made at
a lsc. decline from yesterday. The nomi-
nal close was firmer, with the futures.
Corn-The speculative element In corn
continues to look 10 the receipts for in
spiration. Although to-day's arrivals of
POI cars were 81 more than expected. they
were not viewed as extraordinary. but
quite the contrary. The sentiment OF the
crowd shows appreciation OF the changing
conditions. and values reflect the improve
ment. Prices were firm to-day the close
being slightly under the outside figures.
May corn opened at 4axc., sold between
i9lza69ss and 50lsc., and closed at 497sc.-
&c. higher than yesterday Cash corn
was about steady. A shade better prices
were obtained In some instances.
Oats were without eniivening feature.
The strength and weakness Of the sur

market, but the trade was so light that
prices scarcely changed a fraction. The
late strength In wheat was responsible
for firm close with a gain OF isc. over
yesterday for May. Cash oats were quota
bly, steady.
ProvIsions-When the markets for pro-
duct opened, loss from yesterday was
shown In the first orders executed This
was due 10 the doleful reports from the
stoek-ysrds. A subsequent report gave
an Improvement In the live-hog trade. and
prompt rally took place In provisions.
Simultaneous strength In grain added
weight to the frmness, and closed prices
at the outside point OF the day with
January pork and ribs each &c, higher
than yesterday, and January lard. Prose.

The leading futures ranged as follows:
