CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-For two hours following the opening in wheat. it looked as if specula- tion in that commodity had been abandoned scarcely more than hc and trades of any kind were few and far between. There was abso- lutely no outside interest, little knot of local speculators doing all the little scalping busi- ness that transacted. The opening steaoy at hc over yesterdays closing price, remained until near the close In spite of the Gullness the market during the morning showed indications of wekaness. Cables showed | little eevance at Liverpool due, 1t was. said. to reports of crop damage in Argentine on ac- count of unfavorable weather. The increase in the visible was only 764. .000 bushels, or about half of what had been expected.
 The closing of December holdings had seme effect on May trading late in the session, in- creasng the slight selling pressure enough to cause a slight decline from the price that had remained almost unchanged from the start. May declined to s5A@657sc and closed heavy at the price,
 Corn was dull but the lack of interest was not so pronounced as in wheat. The market whole was weak influenced by the cold weather, the increasing receipts and lower ca- bles. May closed 2sc lower.
 Oats were decidedly weak. There was a good deal of liquidation by prominent holders in- crease in the receipts apparently shaking the confidence of bulls. May closed A@asc lower.
 Provisions though rather quiet were firm most of the day at slight advance There was good demand and as packers did not come into the market to any great extent quotations ruled somewhat higher. Late in the session. however. the weakness in all the grain markets affected provisions and prices slid off. the market being heavy at the close. May pork closed 7lac lower. May lard 21sG5c lower and May ribs 5c lower.
 The leading futures ranged follows:

BOSTON STOCK
LONDON MARKET.


 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were dull and cuet to-day. the only feature being the strength of Americans and mines. The former were good on New York support and on professional buying here, and closed at the best. Northern Pacific and Union Pacific were especially strong. The Presidents message had no effect, the market here merely awaiting New York's lead. The dis count market here Is distinctly weak. the po- sition being that a large mass of bills are maturing. while the supply of new bills is very scarce. This releases capital and the increased supply of uninvested funds depressed rates Kaffirs were good on the reported renewal of the dynamite contract by the Transvaal Govern ment at lower prices. Argentines were easy on damage to crops by rain.
