Chicago, December 14.-The urcer-
talntles of the December dealing in
wheat acted as a clog to-day upon the
futures that otherwise would in all
probability have made some response
to a number of bullish items in the
days news. There were some legiti-
mate bearlsh influences, such as heavi-
ness and lower prices in continental
markets, with the help of &c further
drop in December helped to wear off
the May price, those declines being
established at the close. Corn and
oats were dull and closed at trifing
declines. Provisions were stronger
and advanced 21s65c.
May wheat started a shade under the
price it closed at yesterday, opening

OF contract wheat in regular Chicago
elevators at the close of business on
Saturday last was. 3,6S0,000 bushels.
The receipts of the last two days will
add about 100000 bushels to that,
and it is generally supposed 1000 900
bushels more have been accumulated
in private elevators to be thrown at
the heads of the bull clique at the
proper moment. 1t is evident that it
will take an immense sum to pay for
the contract wheat which will be ten
dered on short sales during the re-
mainder of the month, ard this fact
was apparently in the minds of the
traders at the opening. There was a
quicy rally, however, on buying by
shorts. News from the Argentine
crop was very unfavorable. Serious
damage, it was said. had been done to
the wheat crop in that country by
heavy rains. Tbs cash demand at
