Chicago, Dec. 4.-The northwest was
doing considerable selling at New York
and in this market. The best buying was
for short account, and 1t was by no means
urgent so that prices held but Indifferent
support during to-day's session. May
wheat opened from 60lac to 60asc. sold be
tween 60Q601sc and 60l2d6O5sc, closing at
6O3sc-1kc under yesterday. Cash wheat
was unchanged, to a shade lower.
Corn-For while after the opening to-
day corn was quiet and steady, but when
wheat elected to decline, corn also adopt
ed a similar course. Subsequently on COW
ering operations, rally took place. but
no one was rash enough to take hold for
advance. The prevailing sentiment in
this market is bearish. which is, posi-
bly,, the only real bull argument. In the
face of the big crop. however, there is an
aversion to aggressive bull tactics. May
corn opened a 285slJ28Mc, sold between
2SAc and closing at 2Sss42S4c--a shade
higher than yesterday Cash corn was
dun and steady.
Oats-The sentiment in oats was antag-
onistic to higher prices. Yesterdays low
record still remained, the buying being
unequal to causing a recovery. Nav
closed a shade under yesterday.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. We're unable to
withstand the effort Of another big run
of hogs at the yards. The decline in wheat
was not encouraging, from a speculative
standpoint The market was in its usual
duh and embarrassing condition. and
attracted n
prices were 10c lower for May pork. 2J90l
SC lower for May lard, and SC lower for
May ribs.
