The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1897-12-03


Chicago, Dec. 2-In our recent reviews
we have frequently called the attention of
the speculative trade TO the fact that L.v-
erpool responds readily 10 our weakness,
but takes little or no interest IN our ad-
vances. Cables this morning were a re-
Election of this sentiment, opening S.d low
er and second cables were a farthing low
er still Receipts in the northwest, while
somewhat lighter than last week, were
still more than double those OF year ago.
The market opened only I'D lower, then BE-
came steady, selling up to S05sc, shade
above yesterdays close. At this point
heavy selling prec:pitated a downward
movement and the decline carried the price
down 10 SS1s. For a while the fight was
interesting, around 991s, the bulls acting
on the theory that It could not break
through 9oc. The only thing. in our judg-
ment, that prevented a landslide today.
was the very large clearancss, aggregat-
ing $4,000 bushels of wheat and -four. II
now looks as though this week would be
record-breaker in the amount of wheat
and flour from America. There was some
talk about the Argentine crop, but moth
ing OF sensational character. There APP
pears to be nothing TO warrant it. The de-,
mand for the cash stuff seemed fairly
good Corn took a tumble of half a cent
today. There appears to be nothing to
warrant ii, and we can only account for il
on the theory that there is usually nice
break preceding an advance Provisions
were dull and undressing today. Hog
receipts were not as heavy as yesterday.
