Chicago, November 15.-Declines of
&c in May and &c in December mark
ed to-day's trading in wheat. A sur
prisingly large worlds visible increase
was the main factor and entirely neu-
tralized the effect of an excellent cash
demand and heavy export sales.
Corn declines 1s@5sc.
Oats show no change.
Provisions declined about 21@c.
1t was evident at the opening in
wheat that traders played for higher
prices were going to have a hard time.
Liverpool, instead of responding to
yesterdays advance showed decided
inclination to go the other way and in
this was not alone, Paris also showing
weakness. Liverpool was 1sc higher
to sc lower and Paris 10 confines
lower. May opened 1s@Ac lower at
65R@65Ac, and December started 1sc
lower at 66B @66%c. There (were
very few buyers of either option for
some time, while selling orders were
large, especially in December, and
prices were steadily forced down, the
first hours trading resulting in May
declining to 66 and December to 66Ac.
Besides the weakness of cables, bulls
had to contend with remarkably heavy
Northwest receipts, prospects OF con-
tinuance Of the same on account OF
favorable weather and reports from
New York that many Of yesterdays
heavy buyers had turned sellers. All
this was an incentive to short selling.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2,039
cars to-day. Chicago receipts were
36S cars, 81 of contract grade. Total
primary receipts were 100000 bushels.
About II o'clock some improvement in
prices took place on the sale of 100000
bushels cash wheat here and the re-
ported sale at New York Of 125 boat
loads for export. This caused liquida-
ton to stop more or less and started
covering by the more timid shorts.
December had risen to 665sc by noon
and May had recovered to 6614c Brad
streets statement of the worlds visible
however, threw damper over the
market. This showed an increase Of
6,723,000 bushels. The figures were
much larger than had been anticipated
and the market at once became weak
LIQUIDATION and short selling became
quite heavy again. During the last
hours trading prices slowly but sure
ly declined. May closed at 66066Bc
and December at 66ssc.
Corn developed considerable weak
ness. There was heavy liquidation by
longs induced by lower cables, fine
weather west, and the break in wheat.
Short settings was general. Receipts
were light, AT cars, and cash demand
good. sales being placed at about $780,
600 busl els. A good export demand
was also reported. May ranged from
$3.50 to 33 and closed H@5sc lower at
331sc
Oats were relatively strong. Cash
prices were at premium over futures
and an excellent demand was reported.
This was a big help to the speculative
market and though there was a small
decline early with corn it was soon re-
covered Receipts were 276 cars. Nav
ranged from 247kc to 2458c and closed
unchanged at 24%c
Provisions were dull and heavy.
The market felt the big receipts of
hogs and the weakness in corn. Pack
ers were sellers of January product
most Of the session. Late in the day
the market improved somewhat.
January pork closed PIC lower at

and January ribs 21a05c lower at
