Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-Whilst the wheat
market has been governed by TO a consid
cradle extent of late by anticiDations Of
December deliveries, yet the failure of anv
great amount of wheat TO come out this
month, ala not produce much strength or
cause any advance in prices. Holders ex-
hibited confidence curly in the DAVIS ses-
sion, but as the downward tendency he
came more pronounced there was more or
less liquidation. At the close there was but
J little recovery to prices. May wheat open
ed from a$s to s4lsc, sold between S4M and
SS7sc' and closed SS}zc-l4c lower than yes
terday's closing prices. Cash wheat was
easy and about cent lower

kets was the controlling agent May oats
closed 1sc lower than yesterday. Cash oats
were weak at yesterdays prices.
Provisions-The provision market OPEN
ed active with everybody anxious to sell.
The demand was backward and prices re-
ceded. An unexpected heavy run Of hogs at
the yards attended by break in the prlce
at that place was responsible for the weak
ness in product. Later, business showed
less animation. January pork closed 20
cents lower; January lard nc lower, and
January ribs 20 cents lower.
