CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET
CHICAGO. December 4-The wheat
market was in condition OF collapse TO-
day. The weakness was continuous from
the start until the close, and the last
half hour presented the most hopeless de-
moralization. Yesterdays advance en-
tirely disappeared when trade began.
Loug-wheat selling was the Important
feature Of the business, and seeing the

Nav corn opened AT from 26 3-s to 20 l-4c.,
declined to % 1-S02G Lie, and closed az
the inside-i-463-sc. under yesterday. Cash
corn sold at steady prices, but the noml-
nal tone in that branch at the close was
easy.
The depression OF the other grains
found reflection In oats. The trade was
of a dull and embarrassing sort, and
prices were lower. May oats closed La
3-sc. under yesterday. Cash oats were
steady at Yesterdays quotations.
Provisions-Hogs were on the descend
ing scale as regards prices this morning.
That had It's natural effect on product.
