Of Trade

CHICAGO Dec. 15.-There was no strong
ly developed. feeling either way at the
opening In wheat. Prices were substantial
ly the same as at the close yesterday.
Most Of the firm feeling was impaired soon
after the opening by cablegram from
the Liverpool Corn Trade News stating
that only five Argentine steamers had
been fixed as yet meaning that only that
many SO far had been chartered for the
shipment of wheat. 1t also quoted Good
win, the Argentine authority, as saying
arrivals in Europe would not be before
April. A private Paris cablegram ridi-
culed the statement that France would
only need to import 20,0oOO00 bushels of
foreign wheat from November 1 to the
end Of the crop yer, stating their estimate
Of requirements for that time at GO 900
bushels and that bakers and millers'
stocks were small and farmers deliveries
light. These statements caused moderate
covering by the more timid shorts, the
price of May advancing In consequence.
But the dullness of the trading initiated
against any sustained advance, and prices
slowly slid off again to 90as. though not
without several slight rallies.
Primary receipts amounted altogether
to 8S2, 1855 bushels, against 289,95O bushels
the previous year. Export clearances from
Atlantic ports amounted to $4,000 bushels

decline on the reported reduced appetites
Of the Germans and Belgians came to an
