CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, December 2l.-That
the market i'm wheat was sensitive TO
/ the action OF the New York market was
/ quite patent from the fact that the fiuc-
| tuatiOns and the changes of the latter
met with a ready response by the former,
/ and that when the New York Exchange
| closed wheat became quiet, with ths
/ tone steady. During the first hours
/ trading the feeling was very nervous,
| not so much so, probably. as yesterday
/ but still sufficiently erratic 10 render ope-
/ ratiOns more than usually hazardous. Not
! a great deal Of wheat changed hands
/ and on insignificant orders there were
| frequently from 1t 10 3-S OF a cent varia-
/ ton i'm prices. There was noticeable
| backwardness on the part OF the outsiders,
and considering everything. the market
| was essentially a local one. Large export
/ sales yesterday at the seaboard were
/ confirmed this morning.
MAY wheat opened a from 81 Ia 10
/ 81 l-Sc.. and sold between IS rs and
! 81 3-fn57 7-Sc.; closing at 81 5-Sc.-a shade
/ higher than yesterday. Cash wheat ruled
| quiet and steady.
/ The corn market was slow as compared
| with yesterday. although the same feel
| ing Of unrest and uncertainty which pre-
| vailed i'm the greater was seen in the
/ lesser. Prices held close TO the final quo
] tatiOns Of yesterday. no important de-
! clines or advances taking place. The
retardation Of receipts by the recent rains
/ tended i'm a measure. 10 steady the tone.
May corn opened at q 3-iliN Use, and
! advanced to and closed at 2Sc.-l-Sc
! higher than yesterday. Cash corn was
| quiet and nominal.
! Oats-This market was reported very
| dull with fair quotations. and steadiness
| to the tone. The rapid and irregular
vibrations Of wheat met with only indf-
| ferent response, no serious apprehension
being apparent In the trade. May oats
| closed a shade higher than yesterday.
| Cash oats were dull and steady.
Product was affected by the hog mar
| ket Prices were weak early. but under
the force of good buying improved later
in the day. Only a moderate business
was transacted. No important develop
| ments were noted.
