Chicago. Dec. 26.,-Christmas did not
seem to be over on the Board of Trade to-
day, judging from the lack of interest
exhibited. Notwithstanding the dizziness,
however. prices succeeded in making "A
slight gain in wheat, corn and oats. whilst
produce lost in value.
In wheat, the northwest set the example
and Chicago followed. May wheat opened
from 5S1sc TO 5Sd5Sisc, sold between 5Sd
5sssG5Sisc. closing at 5sasc-ilc k.gher than
Saturday. Cash wheat was steady at IN
changed prices
Corn-the first transactions in corn to-
day were with the large receipts l.299
cars. in view, but the spirit of traders
underwent change very soon after the
opening the responsibility for which was
credited to the weather and prospects of
snow. The visible supply Increase Of
LOSS 900 bushels showed prices off when is
was announced but in the last hour an
other gain was made, the estimate for
to-morrows receipts being smaller. May
corn opened from 47S4c to 475sc sold up to
4s14c and closed at 4SssQ4sizc-ssQi2c high
er than Saturday. Cash corn was soft
early but soon became firmed under a
good demand, although prices showedNao
essential change.
other grains were of the greatest benefit
to prices. May oats closed Sc higher
than on Saturday. Cash oats were
steady.
Provisions-Either by accident or design
the packers were all on top of product
to-day, while the demand was neither i'm
portant or influential The hog market
was a weakening factor, prices at the
yards having a downward trend. AT
the close 25c had been taken off the prics
of January pork, l0d121zc Off January
