CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL. December Sine shor,
interest created in wheat recently Wa
evidently a large one, and at the presen'
time il is not i'm a very complacent mood
To-day's market owes quite respec,api,s
gain in prices TO the uncomfortable feel
ing displayed by this class OF traders.
The sentiment early was rather unde-
cided The fear OF something In the ma,
ture OF European complication tended
TO deter selling, whilst bull news Deln2
scarce, buyers were correspondlnsiy Dam
ward. Although prices opened nrm,
took only moderate offerings 10 aus,
them to receds. After noon movement,
in the opposite direction set in. and az
the close the feeling was strong at the
outside quotations OF the day.
81 I-lc.. sold between 60 3-i and 81 l,sc
closing at the outside-I-sc. higher thar
yesterday. Cash wheat In the sample
department was firm and l-2c. higher.
Corn, in obedience TO the influence eN
erted by wheat declined in the mornine
and advanced In the afternoon. The open
ing trading was at firm prices; but tht
lack of bull ardor and the downward
trend of wheat soon gave the market
different phase. The rally before 'n'
close was purely a matter or sympathy.
May corn opened at from 29qZ9 i-ec'
sold between % 7-sn29c. and % 1-sa29 lac.
closing at the outslde-l-sp1-4c. hignei
than yesterday. Cash corn was active;
Oats.-Business was light In oats. Th'
feeling was irregular. Opening trades wer'
at steady prices, but an easier tone rulet
later. Towards the close a Drmlng pro
cess set in. and at the close the bes
quotations Of the day prevailed. The va
riations OF wheat and corn furnished TN
inspiration TO oats. May oats closed l-Sc
higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
firm.
Provisions The buying OF pork by sew
eral packing concerns at and around th'
opening was the noticeable incident o
the day In provisions. When II ceased tn
vim. IL the moderate activity was pos
sessed of any. disappeared, the balance
OF the session dragging, with price
changing but little. At the close Ma
pork was 2 lie lower and May lard anC
ribs each a shade lower than yesterday.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
