Chicago Change.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Another loss in values took place in wheat today. The decline was not due to any remarkable or forcibly con- Vincihg bear argument, but rather because for an advance. Expected heavy shipments of gold to Europe were discouraging of course, but they were not considered enough so to cause the extreme weakness which was noted. The trade now looks upon the Venezuelan controversy as opposed to strength in cereal prices, as the consequence of an open rupture would be to shut off the export demand Local scalpers were the traders today and their business did not ex hbit great activity. Liverpool cables were quiet and unchanged. May wheat opened at 59159597se, declined to 5S1sd59c, closing at 59c bid, A43sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady to a shade lower.
 Corn--An utterly lifeless session was pass ed in corn. Up until noon the price of May was 2Slsc, with an occasional variation from bid to asked, and with only few trades in dive lower about noon carried corn off to 2Sj4c for May, after which 1t rallied and closed a shade below yesterday. Liverpool cables were quiet and unchanged
 Oats--The monotony of the other markets was not relieved by anything that tran spired in oats. The tone averaged fairly steady May closed shade lower than yes terday. Cash oats were without essential change.
 Proyisions--There was as little pretense of activity in provisions as there was in any of the other board of trade markets The morning business consisted mainly of clean ing up old trades, with the shorts Duylns more than the longs sold, so the natural re- suit was to produce a tirmness in prices, but a slow heavy feeling ensued and the slight gains were lost. The close was 2l2c under yesterday for May pork, with May lard shade higher and May ribs unchanged. Domestic and foreign markets were quiet, but steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

Snn,s Cotton Review

New York Dec. l9.--The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined 15 to Is points then rallied and closed steady at net de- cline of 10 to Il points, with sales of 2Sl, 800 bales.
 Today's features: Political and financial news dominated the market today New York, the south and the west, and to a small extent Europe. were the sellers. German houses sold: so did Wall street houses. On the other hand, both Liverpool and the con tinent bought 10 moderate extent, local shorts in some cases covered, the receipts at the ports and interior towns were small and the senate delayed action on the Vene- Zuelan commission question. MT. Ellison cabled that if the crop is not over 6 750 001 bales prices are likely to advance considera- bly,. Furthermore should the rea ations be- tween the United States and Great Britain become still more strained and warlike, it is believed that there will be much better demand for export, as Europe thus far this season has bought l,2500 GOO bales less than in the same time last season. It is believed that the continent will purchase on much larger scale if the receipts during the next few weeks appear to verify the maximum estimate of Neill Brothers, which, as is well known. is oniy. e,50o,D00 balss. At the moment il Is the political and financial slt- uation which are the disturbing factors. At the same time many in the cotton trade believe that the dispute between this coun- try and Great Britain will ultimately be ad- iusted without an appeal to arms.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH,
Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 19.-(Special.)--A fresh de- cline in Liverpool today started the market downward, and the weakness of the stock market, owing to the war furry, caused a great deal of reckless selling out of long cotton for Wall street account, which oc- casioned a sharp decline, but prices rallied at the last half a dozen points from the lowest, and the tone at the close was steady, March opened at S.24, declined to S13 and closed with a good demand at 8.1SGS19. It looked today at the close as if we had seen about the worst of the decline, war or no war. We certainly think it is safer to buy cotton at today's prices than to sell it.

In Wall Strnat-

New York, Dec 19.-The feature of trading liquidations for foreign account. London cables received here before the opening showed material declines In our stocks, and fhis was followed by selling orders of large proportions in Louisville and Nashville, St Paul and other American shares listed abroad. This foreign selling led to sales by local operators, and the result was drop of anywhere from F to 54 per cent in prices E3umors of heavy gold exports by Satur- days European steamers were put afoat land this added to the depression. It was said at one time that the exports on the day named would reach Sl0 100000. but this is an look for shipments of anything like the amount stated. Up-to the close of business pnly $50O,0OO had been engaged. It is known however, that arrangements are making for the export of about $40 900 of the metal and that this will be announced tomorrow. In the break in prices which followed the early dealing Consolidated Gas, Pullman Palace. Baltimore and Ohio and the south westerns were most conspicuous. The Van derbilts are lower notwithstanding the de- elaration of the usual dividends on New York Central, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. In the afternoon steadier tone characterized the market. London houses changed front and bought a little stock. and this had a stimulating effect on prices which recovered 1Q31a per cent. Money was little more active, and late in the day rose to per cent.
