Chicago Change.

Chicago, Dec 26-It was still Christmas to all intents and purposes in the wheat market today. There was burst of activ- ity in the last half hour, but it was the re- suit of selling out in response to the weak mess which assailed stocks in Wall street at that time and not indicative of a desire on the part of the traders to do business The action until the time mentioned was very slow, with prices slightly above Mon days close, but the firmness disappeared qyate in the session and prices rested at a decline from that. Bradstreets reported an increase in the worlds stoskS of 5, 6000 bushels. The Thomas report was out giv- dng an estimate of 2S5, ,O00, 900 bushels in farm erS hands on January l. It was argued that the figures were bullish, but it was noticea- ble that the privileged few who had the re- port early evinced preference for the sell in gside. May wheat opened at 5S1sat5s7sc sold between 5S3s and 574@573sc, closing at 57$sc, A4&c under Monday Cash wheat was steady. but closed weak with the futures
 Corn-The same conditions ruled in corn as in wheat, with smaller break at the close There was no effort desire to trans act business, and only the necessity of li- quidating compelled the temporary activity at the end of the session. Bradstreets re- ported an increase in stocks east of the Rocky mountains of 1,l60.O0O bushels. May corn opened at 2Sfp2SlSc, declined to and closed at 27$44277sc, 1sp4c under Monday Cash corn was Lc lower.
 Oats-The normal condition of the oats market being full, all round inactivity had no particular effect. Anyhow prices declin- ed near the close in sympathy with wheat and corn. May oats closed Ac under Mon day. Cash oats were A4I2c lower.
 Provisions were up in the morning, with hogs down in the aftrenoon with grain and stock The trade was not completely inac- tive. Commission houses were fair buyers, whilst professionals did theb ulk of the sell ing. At the close May pork was 212c under Monday, May lard 2l2c higher and May ribs but steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

In Wall Street

New York Dec. 26.-Stocks showed consid- erable strength during the early hours, the easier condition of the money market. lower rates for sterling exchange and belief that there will be favorable legislation at Washington being the contributing causes. The opinion also universal that-meas- ures will be taken either by congress or tho executive looking to the restoration of the gold reserve. and this led to buying of se- securities in certain quarters. Bankers were making preparations for the expected issue, which 1t is now thought will be at least S100. .000, ,000. There was any amount of gossip about the issue, but people usually in touch with the governments financial op- erations either did not know or did not care to go on record as making predictions about the matter. The war scare also abated and. London was a moderate buyer of Louisville and Nashville, St. Paul and other stocks with an International market. The opinion as to railway earnings in the west also led to buying of stocks of wheat and corn car rying roads. The easier condition of Sterl- ing exchange put an end to the foolish talk about premium on gold, and a leading bullion dealer stated that only inquiry for the metal was from intending purchasers ment in stock prices in the first hour ranged from 1 to per cent higher.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 26.-(Special.) )-Liverpool biting closed the brokers expected dull market and they were not disappointed In the forenoon prices were fairly firm on very light receipts. March opened at S.01 and ad- vanced to S.06 but the announcement that the receipts of New Orleans tomorrow would be heavy changed the temper of spec ulation. A selling movement began. and on light offerings March sold down to 7.92. The close was quiet, but steady with March at 794GlI95. The furry over the war and the finances seemed to have spent it's force, at least as far as cotton is concerned, and the immediate future of prices is going to de- pend on receipts. The bears claim that the January movement will be a liberal one. The bulls say that it will be very small. We shall see. which is right
