Chicago, Dec. S.-Yesterday weakness
in wheat produced an abnormal demand
Tor puts after the close the crowd seeing
but one side to the market. That very
fact proved the only obstruction to a
decline to-day, the demand from holders
of those privileges acting as a sustainer.
The opening was weak, that feeling con-
tinuing for some time, a slight improve
ment taking place.. however, as the ses-
sion progressed toward the close. May
wheat opened 591a to $3.50, sold between
59AQ593sc and $3.50, closing at 591ac-4d
sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was
weak and averaged PC lower than yester-
day. Trade in that branch of the market
was dull.
Corn-what might be termed a pause
in the advance took place in corn to-day.
The receipts ran over the estimates sixty
four cars, whilst the output from store
was less free than in the recent past
Prices ruled lower during the session, a
AOoo VI ~ rum Yesterday BEtlB recorded
at the close. May opened at 501sc. de-
clined to 1880, closing at 493tc with the
depreciation mentioned. Cash corn was
at discount of &c, with very few TAX
ers.
oats were lower, only for the reason
that wheat and corn showed weakness
Nothing important appeared to guide the
trade and speculative action was inert
May closed AM3sc lower than yesterday
Cash oats were weak decline Of nc be-
ing quoted, with buyers and sellers hold
ing off.
Provisions-The markets for product
were as dull as they usually are on Sat1r-
day Complete inactivity prevailed, an
easy feeling marking the opening for
which the live hog market received the
credit Grain, firming later, affected pro-
visions TO their advantage as regards
tone, but without much Improvement in
value. The close was unchanged from
yesterday for January pork and a shade
higher for January lard and January
ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing
