THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS
WHEAT HAS DROPPED INTO A
RATHER MARROW RUT.
Liverpool Came weak Mt tho start
md Naturally the American
Markets showed Decline.

| Chicago. December 2o.--Wheat fell into the
slough Of dependency that generally forms
| during the holiday season. The market closed
ut u decline of nc. Corn and oats lost only a
shade of their previous values. Provisions
closed unchanged to &c lower.
With weak Liverpool and rather liberia,
local and Northwestern receipts to contend
with. bulls in wheat were badly Handicapped
n. the opening. Liverpool failed utterly to
follow yesterdays advance here and on the
contrary showed early declines OF 1saIa, prob
ably because of the increase of 3,SV0,01v bush
els in the American stocks.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 1S5
cars Chicago received 2U5 cars. Buying Or
ders at tho start were very few and far be-
tween.
May opened nc lower at 67NQ67ss. This
price prevailed for a short time until the
strength shown by the coarser grain markets
encouraged buyers and caused a little scat
tered covering by shorts. The total amount
bid Tor was small. but in the almost stagnanr
contition of the market 1t was sufficient to
cause reaction In the May price to 67ss.
Then the market weakened again.
All the outside markets were weaker than
foreign demand. AS the foreign demand has
been the big prop of the market In times OF
literal receipts, reports of this nature haa
the effect of contracting the speculative de-
mand and prices once more slowly slid OFF.
and before 1880 May had reached 67s. Tbs
selling pressure at no time was heavy, OUT
there was at times an entire absence of bids
Bradstreets report of the worlds visible,
showing an increase of 100000 bushels, took
away what little backbone the market had
lett and late trading was all in favor of the
bears. May finally got down to 667s467 and
CLOSED at 67@67M
Corn was rather quiet but steady. The
weakness of wheat and the rather poor quail
ity of corn receipts adversely affected the mar
ket and the slight early advantage was lost.
Receipts were 726 cars.
Oats were fairly active but irregular.
The market for provisions was decidedly
narrow.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow--Wheat 200
cars. corn 755 cars, oats 255 ears, hogs 40UJU
