least 50 cents seems to be the minimum
price for December wheat. Numerous
efforts TO break the price below that limit
have been unsuccessful, and believers in
the value of the cereal point to that fact
as convincing argument that when the
pressure of selling is removed, marked
improvement may be looked for. Be that
as it may, there is no denying the fact
that prices fail to hold any advance
above the point mentioned. TO-day's mar
ket demonstrated this. The close being
weak at almost the inside quotations.
The opening was at a decline from yes
terday, a further loss Immediately fol-
last hour was prolific of weakness, offer
ings meeting with poor response. Decem-
Der wheat opened from 603sc to 60Ac, sold
between 61q6l1sc and 597sa6Oc, closing at
6O@c--Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat
was &c per bushel lower.
The trade or action in corn deserved no
particular mention AS in the recent past
the business was duh and dragging, but
prices held steady, the narrow limits
which puts" and "calls'' sold preserving
the flrmness of tone. That the trade looks
for no wild or extraordinary movement
is evidenced by the extremely close range
of these privileges of late, puts selling
higher than calls in many Instances. May
corn opened at 294c, sold between $3.50
29l2c and 29Ac, closing at the latter-a
shade under yesterday. Cash corn was
firm.
The oats market presented a neglected
and deserted appearance. orders to buy
or sell were scarce and almost a curiosity.
A trader who made a move as though in
possession OF one had difficulty in eXecut-
ing his commission, owing to the indispo-
stton to business prevailing. The tone
was steady. May oats closed &c lower
than yesterday. Cash oats ruled steady.
Provisions-Some concerted bidding for
product in the absence of offerings en-,
livened the scene in that market for a
while, but with that the interest ended.
Hogs were lower, which was pleaded in
justification of an easy opening price and
advance later, on the bidding mentioned,
but easing off before the close, with the
break in wheat At the close January
pork was 2i2c higher; January lard un-
changed, and January ribs a shade higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
