Chicago, Dec. H.-Wheat had another
break to-day, the weakness becoming
prominent during the last hour. Prices
had considerable 10 contend with, but
they succeeded in maintaining a fair pre-
portion of strength during the early part
of the session, finally yielding to the
weight of selling, which became more pro-
nounced after the put price was passed,
Saturdays sellers of those privileges run
ming from the wheat, which was likely to
be put to them. The immediate close
was steady at fractional recovery from
the inside. May wheat opened from 5SAc
to 585sM5SAc, sold between 59c and 58isc,
closing at 5SA45S$sc, lad% lower than
Saturday. Cash wheat was dull and
easier. Trading was light. The nominal
close was weaker, with the futures.
Corn-The news and the weather were
adverse to strength in corn to-day. The
shorts" who We're so perturbed on Sat
urday were complacent sellers to-day and
holders We're less confident. May corn
opened from 50lsc to Soc, sold between
501sc and 4912U499sc Closing at the INSIDE,
sc under Saturday. Cash corn was quiet
and unchanged, closing nominally weak.
Oats moved down trifie, with the other
grains The business was dull and life
less. No feature of note developed dur
ing the session. May oats closed &c under
yesterday. Cash oats were dull and with
out change.
Provisions-An advance in product
which was scored at the opening on the
strength of the live hog market, was we'll
maintained to the close. There was but a
moderate business, prices doubtless re-
naming without particular change
through lack of pressure. At the close
January pork was 10 cents higher than
on Saturday; January lard 21zd5c higher
and January ribs 71a higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. Closing.
