/ Chicago, December 6.-Early news in
/ the wheat pit to-day was mostly Of a
bearish character and the opening was
easy, May starting at 1914 @893sc as
compared with Saturdays close of 891ac
At this price traders offered literally
and a further reduction to 887sc oc-
Cured. Cables were disappointing to
bulls Liverpool opened I'D higher, but
by 1:30 p. m. was H@1ad under last
weeks final quotations. Northwest re-
ceipts were heavy and Worlds ship
| ments were enormous, aggregating 49,
| 100000 bushels, while an increase of
| 1880 600 bushels was shown in the
amount of wheat on passage. Russian
| shipments, however, showed a falling
| off, the amount from that country being
| placed at 2,736O00 bushels. This was
, somewhat encouraging and with some
buying against Puts, the market be-
came a shade firmer May wheat grad
ually recovered to 89Ac. After short
halt the market experienced renewed
strength and the price worked up to
| S9Ac. At the higher level realizing be-
came apparent and at one O'Clock re-
action to SS34c ensued. The visible
showed an increase of 1,059Ga0
bushels, but the figures we're in
| effective. The December cropreport is
sued by the Ohio State Board Of Agri-
culture, issued to-day, shows an i'm
| provement Of IL points in the growing
! wheat crop of that State: that percent
| age compared with an average crop be-
| ing 63 per cent. According TO these fig
ures, wheat is still 81 Points behind
| what it should be at this time Of the
| year, and it will not go into the winter
| in good condition to withstand freeZ-
ing. In the last Is minutes tie market
| declined to the lowest point of the day
| S8Ac. closing at 8S7sc for May.
