CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. 3.-Upon deliberation the
wheat crowd came to the conclusion that prices for
that grain too high, and this morning, by
of free selling succeeded in depressing them
to the necessary extent. English consols, which
yesterday were quoted lower, were so the result
OF the interest payment and as the decline was
one OF yesterdays oul arguments it naturally lost
force in the sequel. The worlds shipments for
last week per Board of Trade figures, were
c,6e4 600 bushels, quite as large reported yes
terday by New York. Northwestern receipts, like
wise, came in for proper consideration, they
were IN excess both of last week and of last year
1343 cars, I'LL cars and S72 cars respectively
After declining about 1ac from yesterdays close
somewhat steadier tone developed and prices held
stationary with the trade exhibiting less activity
Receipts at Chicago were 39S cars, and 19S, $50
bushels were taken from store. Opening Liverpool
cables firm, but closing ones were at 12c de-
cline. Export clearances were light = 190.736
bushels. Bradstreets report of the worlds stocks
was in the nature of surp ise showing, as it did,
a decrease in America east OF the Rockies, and in
Europe and afioat OF l,l01 QUO bushels. Pacific
Coast stocks were reduced 1,3I5OO0 bushels dur
ing November. Continental markets were all
higher. During the last hour prices declined fur
ther despite the decrease reported by Bradstreets

CORN-Moved only by virtue OF wheat, and not
of its own volition. 1t moved but little, however
business not being of great enough volume or sig
nihcance to materially affect values. The opening
was easy, and not great deal of firmness was no.

OATS-The session oats was an uneventful
one either in the matter of business or news Pro-
