CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
| CHICAGO, ILL, December 3l.-The clos
| ing session OF the Board of Trade for 1884
was marked by the usual indifference TO
| trading. which characterized the final
| business OF the year OF that association.
| The last half hour OF the Abbreviated ses-
sion was practically abandoned, anu the
customary pranks and frolics were In
| dulged in.
May wheat opened at from 57's to 51s.c.,
| sold between 557sd5s and 57lsc., and closed
| at 57Na577sc.-isQhc. higher than Satur-
day. The cash market was without change
of note.
Corn-No disposition to trade existed In
corn and a quiet. unattractive market
was a natural consequence, with nrm
wheat market as guide. Prices lost
nothing, and at times were fractionally
higher than Saturday. May corn opened
at from 4Sis4iSi4 to 4Sisc. sold between
| $685. and iSisc.. and closed at isAc.-a
shade higher than Saturday. Cash corn
| was unchanged. Very little business was
| transacted.
Oats, like all the other grains, were prac-
| tically neglected. The range, which was
but IL per cent. explains the dulness
which reigned. The undertone was firm
, in Difference TO the feeling In wheat and
corn.
Provisions-The opening on product was
| firm and higher. the hog receipts being
light and the market at the Stock-yards
showing an advance. Succeeding the ope-
ratlons at the start, however the market
was almost blank, although the gains
which were made were not lost during the
session. The close was l7isc. higher than
Saturday for May pork, l0c. higher for
May lard. and 7izal0c. higher for May
ribs.
The Board Of Trade will hold no session
| Tomorrow New-Year' s-day.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
