The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-12-18

Chicago, Dec. 17-Cabies opened higher
this morning but after yesterdays strength
had spent itself. our market opened easy
at a slight decline. II was generally ex-
pected that the bull sentiment would take
prices higher, but there seemed 10 be an
immense quantity OF wheat for sale around
s2ssc. Whenever the. market reached that
point the buyers got all they wanted The
bull crowd were sellers Clearances from
the four ports were about rs. 900 bushels.
The selling of wheat today by the longs
was surprise, in view Of the very bull
ish feeling that they have been manifest
ing. Receipts n the northwest Were near
ly twice those OF a year ago. Our market
continues to be good scalping one. Some
OF the bulls talk s1.l0 for May wheat in
January, but there Is nothing especially
bullish. that IS not old today. Outside Of
the general situation the market looks as
II II would be a quiet one for tomorrow.
We feel that wheat is a purchase on the
weak spots Corn was quiet and easier
today, probably under the influence of the
weaker wheat market
