CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, December l9.-Buyirg
OF wheat by New York during the last
thirty or forty-fve minutes OF to-day''s
session was the only event of note In
to-days trade in that market. Previous
to that time Il range OF hc. was wide
enough to accommodate the business.
NOR was the news anything more than
Of the ordinary routine character. May
wheat opened at from 5Sls45SA TO 5s1sc.,
closed at 5S%c.-izc higher than yester-
day, the gain being all made near the
close. Cash wheat was dull and easy, the
nominal closing being quotably hrmer,
with the futures.
Corn was influenced by the weather, and
| by the receipts. which ran over the esti-
mate to-day with further increase In
the arrivals promised. The final improve
ment in wheat worked a partial recovery
| In corn, but the close was still under yes
terday. The Withdrawals from store were
9,7gS bushels. and there were 1892 bush
| els at the seaDoard. May corn opened at
| from 49lsll49lt TO 4shc.. declined 10 4e%u
4s3sc., and closed at 49isc.-hQAc. under
yesterday. Cash corn was easy to Nc. per
| bushei lower.
Oats declined fractionally, with corn.
and rallied later. with wheat. Several
prominent commission-houses were active
sellers. and at one and the same time In
| the day, but the demand seemed Of suffi-
cient proportions to absorb the offerings.
and 10 prevent much of loss TO prices.
May closed a shade higher than yesterday.
Cash oats were In poor demand. except
for choice grades. Prices averaged h412c.
per bushel lower.
Observation-Disclosures were unanimous as
sellers Of product to-day, and shorts were
| enabled TO cover without dill
Guilty for that reason. The theory
that hogs would increase in num-
| Der at the yards after the holidays found
many supporters, but, on the other hand,
there were numerous skeptics. the cash
situation being weak and the hog market
| to-day lower At the close January pork
was TIC. under yesterday. and January
| lard and ribs each &C. lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing.
