CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. December 1.-THE
wheat market recOnsidered Its action OF
yesterday prices declining almost as much
rs they then advanced. Most important
as a factor In causing the weakness was
the failure of English markets TO adopt
our sentiment Liverpool opened with
l Lid. gain, that being still inadequate as
a full representation OF accord, and later
declined Id. May wheat opened az from
81 SIS 70 So 3-Sc.. declined 10 Sic, and closed
at 6l0N l-Sc.-lNi 1-Sc. under yesterday.
Cash wheat was easy and lc. per bushel
A little firmness was noted In the corn
market al the opening. but II was of short
duration, and left no permanent impress
sion. The later weakness OF wheat exer-
cised depressing influence. ana there
being nothing calculated 10 afford resist
ance, prices easel away. May corn opened
at % l-sc. and declined 10 and closed az
p 5-ic.-l-fd5-Sc- under yesterday. Cush
corn was easy 10 lie. per bushel lower.
The tendency 10 decline was quite pro-
nounced I'm oats. In addition 10 the weak
ness incident TO the speculative relation
ship with the corn market. there were
heavy recelpts-05i cars-and no output
from store TO lend emphasis 10 the abb
sence of strength. May oats closed S-Sff
l-2c per bushe lower Cash oats We're
steady for good grades with the inferior
kinds l-4fii-2c. per bushel lower.
Provisions A weak hog market entered
into consideration In product. Very little
trading took place, the business transact
cd being local and professional. The weak
ness OF the grain markets were untayor-
able circumstances. causing some selling
for local account. May pork closed lie.
