Chicago Change.

Chicago, Nov 29.-The difference between December and May wheat was considerable today. The wheat that was sold indlscrmi- nately on Wednesday was bought back to- account of the speculator. The tremendous deliveries of December wheat announced by the millionaire packer and elevator proprie- tor, P. D. Armour, seemed to have lost their power to frighten holders, and prices made a distinct gain of many. Tho business in the pit, whilst mostly of a focal character, was heavy however, the largest in a long time. Many contracts were transferred from dation in the former month was not accom- panied by corresponding purchases or sales ln the latter. May wheat opened from CO.'S to 6Ohd60Ac, sold between 50 and 60h and higher than Wednesday, Cash wheat was firm and 1ac per bushel higher.
 Corn developed no traits by which the trade was distinguished from that of any was firm, but the difficulty in achieving in advance evidently lay in the apathy of the trade. May corn opened at 29c, sold between 2SAM29 and 29ll29Ac. closing at 29c bid, Bc higher than Wednesday. Cash corn was steady
 Oats-Inactivity was the predominating characteristic of the oat market The firm ness of the other grains contributed force enough to sustain and even cause a slight advance, but the business was lacking. May oats closed shade above Wednesday. Cash oats were steady.
 lProvisions-On a reported decline of to crushing weakness in product at the open ing. The strength of grain counteracted that influence later and a comparatively steady feeling prevailed through the session until weakened again. At the close May pork was q shade higher. May lard 212Q5c lower and May ribs Dc lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:
