Chicago, Dec. 14.-Disheartened and dis
Outraged, the bulls on wheat threw up
the sponge to-day and allowed the advo.
Gates of lower prices to have full control
OF the market. The news was not partlcu-
iIarly depressing, but the absence OF specu-
Isatlon was as powerful a detrimental IN
nuence as any that could be used. Dur
ing the latter half Of the session the pres
sure to sell was less conspicuous and a
moderate rally took place, holders OF daily
ana weekly puts being the active buyers:
May wheat opened from 5SSs 10 5SMc, sold
Pc between 5Slac and 5S7sc, closing at 5S44ci55
from y to s4c under yesterday. The feel
ing was weak.
CornLThat several Of the big holders of
corn had quietly unloaded yesterday was
patent to the general observer to-day.
Lessened confidence was shown by the
moderate traders, which, taken IN con-
necton with the inclination of wheat to
decline, gave to corn a decidedly weak
Tone. The mildew was another source OF
discomfort to the bull element, increased
arrivals being looked for from that cause;
May corn opened from 497sc to 1910 sold
b.etween 1890 and 497sc@50c, closing at
9slsc-1sc under yesterday. Cash corn was
re per bushel lower.
Oats-Nothing different from the usual
sympathetic market was noticeable In
oats to-day. They declined with wheat
ana corn and rallied slightly with them.
BUSINESS was light. At the close May
oats were nc under yesterday. Cash oats
We're steady to 1kQAc lower.
PROVISIONS dropped lower to-day on the
pecline in grain and on cheaper prices Tor
mogs. There was but little disposition 70
opeculate and business was decidedly
q9let. A rally came about in sympathy
with the recovery in the other pits, but
yesterday's close was higher by lOc thar
iIo-day's for January pork. sc for January
i1Td and 2l5c for January ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows;
W. Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
