Chicago. December 10. AFTER consid-
cradle efforts the bull clique in the
wheat market succeeded to-day in clC9-
ing the lid on the boiling December
shorts and getting the price down to
a point that does not so openly invite
all the contract wheat in the country
to Chicago. December closed at $1.03,
a decline for the day of &c, While May
showed about 1c decline at the close.
Corn and oats were governed by the
changes in wheat, but showed very little
change at the close. Provisions also
closed substantially unchanged.
Wheat at the opening was very IN
certain in quantity. 1t is generally
conceded that it was to the interest of
the bull clique to allow the December
price TO settle down to a point where
it would be less attractive for coun-
try holders to send all their wheat Of
contract grade to Chicago, but because
this was. so palpable SO many others eX-
pected an opposite course and the re-
suit was a nervous market. There was
