letter by private wire to I. +. Johnson,
broker. Provident building:
Chicago, Dec. T.-The conditions gov
erning the wheat trade the past week
nave been of an exceedingly depressed
character, and the effect of the market
bushel from last Saturdays close. Early
holders had large receipts, a poor specu-
latiNe demand, and a general bad condi-
uon IN both mercantile and financial cir
cles TO contend with. Later they were
harassed with panic in Wall street and
under all these influences IL is perhapS a
wonder prices did not go lower The char
acter or the selling during the past two
days can be said to be almost wholly OF
iquidating character from Wall street
put on account of the quiet market that
mas prevailed during the past two months,
TINS interest was not as large as IL would
nave been under different circumstances.
Inc long interest in the market has been
greatly diminished. and we are Of the
opinion that prices have reached bottom,
or nearly so. Below Is cents for May
corn there has been an excellent demand.
and the market closes tonight at 2Sc bid.
Inc extremely low price is making sellers
cautious, and shorts appear more anX-
ious TO buy that to sell, and we are of
the opinion that both corn and oats,
the former at 2Sc and the latter at 1sc.
are exceedingly cheap, with little pros
pect OF going lower Provisions suffered
slightly from the weakness in wheat, but
closed very firm"
