CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO H., Dec l0.-The bull market in
wheat which showed such lively attributes yester'
day had suffered something in the way of modif-
cation this morning. Instead of clamorous buying
there was an undisguised disposition to sell, and
any one who rash enough to bid found all the
wheat necessary to satisfy his wants. Under these
conditions prices declined until they met with re-
sistance from holders of puts" The weakness
was primarily due to Liverpool's failure to fully
reflect the strength of yesterday in American
markets OF secondary importance in causing
weakness the worlds shipments of 1850, 900
bushels and large Northwestern receipts 1888 cars,
were about equal. The Government report to
issue in the afternoon tended to restrict trading.
The general belief was that it would neither AFFORD
radical aid nor tend TO depress prices very much.
Receipts at Chicago were 290 cars, and 1876, $40
bushels were taken from store. Export clearanceS
amounted to 236.734 bushels The elevator peo-
pie were among the most liberal sellers today,
while OF the professionals were active in
the same direction. Bradstreet repor ed decrease
in the worlds available supply of 237 900 bushels.

timated receipts for Tomorrow 125 cars.
CORN-Busness in corn did not materially vary
volume significance from that of recent days.

average was below an ordinary trade. AS usual
prices were up down in accord with those Of

in oats as in corn. They were dull, and what

wheat. Receipts were S3S cars, and l03,S97
bushels were taken from store Bradstreet gave a
decrease in stocks of 46S. 600 bushels. May oats

PROVISIoNS-Th information from the stock
yards not so depressing this morning. and

weakness of wheat was antagonistic to speculative
there was therefore no intrinsic benefit noted.

ribs each 21ac lower.
