BEARS RULED THE MARKET.
Large Amount of Wheat Offered
with but Few Buyers.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The dullness and
heayiness OF yesterday in all grain markets
was followed by temporary strength ct
the opening day Wheat evef showed 1-2c
recovery ON first trades. This was fol-
lowed by renewal of the general selling.
For tie morning May wheat showed a
range of more than &c, mostly in the shape
of decline Coarse grains already at
low prices showed further decline.
II had the appearance this morning OF a
''rigged' market in wheat There We're
claims also that Liverpool was worked a
little in the interest OF bulls who had
mountains of wheat To Sell.
Liverpool cable at opening came lid
higher for wheat futures, following the
break here yesterday. II was argued hat

cables We're Instrumental i'll making the
better prices here at the start
The trade had No faith in the fictitious
strength. Scarcely was the market opened
when IT was apparent that important lines
Of wheat Were coming out in the pit.
There were no important shorts in the
trade to take the wheat, and the offer
ings caused ID sagging market. The MAY
price was at 81 cents to So 3-4 cents at
the opening, the high point of the session.
with a drop to So cents very soon after.
After a rally to So Ii cents the price
dropped to Sc 3-4 cents, then to So 3-s
cents, then about midday to 81 rs cents,
with only slow recovery to So 3-S cents,
the closing price.
1t was not easy to understand the dis
position of the wheat trade to act SO bear
ish. The receipts are getting lighter; the
exports are good; the cash demand holds
good. milling wheat at a premium in all
markets., the export inquiry and demand
is far from dead.
But all bull news was either discredited
or ignored There was not such working
of cash wheat on the break as expected
There was not such disposition to buy

MADRID CRISIS RUMOR.j
Official Circles Here Regard 1t as
somewhat Exaggerated.

Respecting the rumors of a cabinet crisis
at Madrid, it is regarded in official cir
cies here as not uniii.ely that one or two
members OF the cabinet might retire, hut
this act would be in no sense significant.
If Senor Canovas, the Spanish premier,
or the Duke Tetuan, the minister of fore
ign affairs, or Senor Ascarrage, the min
lister of war, should resign that would be
regarded as significant, and grave con-
sequences might follow.
1t is authoritatively stated, however,
that each of these gentlemen is not only
well satisfied to remain in the cabinet and
continue the present policy of the govern
ment, but that they are equally acceptable
to the Spanish people with whom they
are not only popular but highly esteemed
as well
