CHICAGO, ILL, December 1.-THE
morning hours of to-day's session OF the
10 a discussion of the sensation OF the
hour-the suspension OF +. j. Kenneth OF
the firm of Kenneth Hopkins & Co., from
the privileges OF the board for five years,
as penalty for having had business re-
lations with a prominent bJcket-shop.
Trading in wheat was almost entirely
elected whilst the theme was upper
most. but about noon the regular business
was resumed and prices sold off under
offerings OF long" wheat by prominent
local holders, who had accumulated lines
on the way up from 90 TO 63c., and wer
averaging their losses and profits to-day.
The government report, which was is
sued. yesterday, was interpreted by trad
ers buliishly, but Ii was not possessed
of sufficient force 10 sustain values

was easy and 1-2c. per bushal lower.
The opening on corn was noticeably
hrm, by comparison with the tone OF
wheat at the same time. Some talk OF
the interior movement bsing retarded by
bad weather was heard, which, possibly,
induced some buying The clearances at
the seaboard when announced later, gave
additional reason FOR firmness but the
weakness which became conspicuous in
wheat about noon effectually stopped all
progress in corn.

from yesterday Cash corn was firm
early, but later became weak, and de-
clinsd LAC.
In a communication Of the strength
exhibited by corn early, oats opened firm
but in sympathy with everything else
declined before the close. There was nj
news, and very little business Several
prominent scalpers solo moderately and
some shorts Covered up.
Cash oats were steady to firm early,
but closed week and Lie lower
ProUslons-T'he business in product was
not any better chan 1t has been, and
prices were worse.
Hogs being lower, the fact affected the
trade unravorably at the start. and the
weakness OF wheat acted in a q pressing
manner on all. Packers sold moderately.
Closing prices were II i-2m15c. lower for
May pork, Sc lower for May lard, and
