Chicago MARKETS..

CHICAGO, Dec 5.-There were still some fag-
ends of long wheat for sale when the market
opened. They came out or many hundreds ana
were not wanted except at a reduction of 14e per-
bushel from yesterdays closing prices. The Liv-
erpool market was reported as opening 1Sd TO Id
lower. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were
sos ears, compared with only 800 on the CORE
spending day last year. Another consideration of
a weakening character was that the Government
report of the amount of wheat fed to stock by
farmers from harvest up to December l was ascer-
tanned and would be issued from Washington at
p. M. and it was claimed to be ascertained that
the amount so fed was $4,000, 900 bushels.

some wheat at the opening there and exporters
there and at ST. LOUIS wired that there was a re-
duction on yesterdays BIDS for expectation from
wheat in New York. The opening prices for May

markets easier. New York sent selling
orders on their INSIGHT INTO weakening foreign
feeling; probably for every foreign order for
10000 bushels received there New York sold
100000 bushels here. The market became very
weak on that selling. and twenty minutes from
