Chicago, Dec. 13.-The price of wheat
declined to-day under the weight ,, OF sell sell.
sold at the opening and sales throughout
to-day were also made by the late man.
ager of the suspended firm of Kenneth,
Hopkins & Co., the trades probably be-
ing for the account of clients of that
house. The entire session was barren OF
news. May wheat opened from 6l1sq6lc,
declined to 6O3sQ6016c, closing 6Ol2c-12c
under Yesterday Cash wheat was steady
10 hc per bushel lower.
Corn-The weakness of wheat occasion
ed selling of corn, with a consequent de-
probation in values. The volume of bus
mess was not large and the characters
tic trading was purely local. May corn
opened at 2S24c, declined to 2SssQ2S12c, clos
ing at 2S15c bid-14c under yesterday. Cash
corn was A0lac per bushel lower.
Nothing calculated to help oats in the
face of a declining wheat market was TO
hand, and through force of habit or SYM
pathy followed the course of the finer
grain. Trading attracted no particular
attention and was devoid of any feature
worthy of special mention. May oats
closed &c under yesterday. Cash oats
were easy.
Provisions-The disposition in product
was to buy rather than sell this morning.
Outside orders were generally on that line
fair business was transacted, but no
really significant trading was brought to
light The firmness was generally main
tanned throughout the session. May pork
closed SC higher. May lard and ribs each
Pho higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:
