Chicago, Ill, Dec. 5.-The crowd was toe
| enthusiastic on yesterdays break In
wheat, and in consequence, oversold the
market. To-day matters were evened lir
| by a recovery Of almost half the loss. The
Liverpool market displayed the same in.
| difference to our Fridays break as it did
to Thursdays bulge. This was considered
| quite as favorable and partly explained
the frmness of prices. May wheat opened
! from Size to SIC, sold at 813sc advanced

| from yesterday. Cash oats were stead,
| and unchanged.
! Provisions-The reception OF hogs wa
heavy at the yards. Ten cents per hundred
/ pounds were, therefore, deducted from

naturally conceded with the downward
tendency. AT the close, January pork and
lard were each 7Ikc lower and January
