Markets.


Chicago. Dec. S.-wheat opened un-
changed for May and a shade higher for
December. Liverpool. at the time trading
started here. had lost a slight opening
advance, but Northwest receipts were
considerably smaller than last weeks. al
though still running over those of last
year. This. for the time being. held up
the liquidation which became so promi-
nent. especially in December, later In the
session. and gave an appearance of firm
ness to the market. May opening at 65Ac,
was held for a few moments at 65%M65xc.
December opened at 64hc. Longs got dis
c~ouraged, and so there was plenty of
wheat for sale from every direction. De-
cember suffered the most. liquidation in
that option taking IL to a discount of &c
under May at one time. The selling of De-
cember at times was very heavy. Atlantic
ports exports of wheat and fiour were
large|1. 2o.0o bushels-and this fact
steadied the market. But there were
plenty of bear influences. not the least
being the weakness shown in coarser
grains, and after the noon hour the mar
ket turned weak again. Foreign crop re-
ports were all favorable, and winter
wheat In this country was reported In a
promising condition. Foreign markets
were generally weak at the close.
In the last hour of trading a good deal
of wheat was sold on stop-loss orders
' re "oc h'A@ S""ha
the close. May declined TO 6i7sc and
closed at that price. December declined
to SIC and closed at s3hc.
Corn showed a little strength at the
start with continued light receipts during
favorable shipping weather having a bull
lish effect. But the market very soon
turned weak and remained so to the close.
Country advices stated that corn would
move more freely. May closed %Gkc
lower.
Oats were weak I'm sympathy with corn.
May closed &c lower.
Provisions had another run to contend
with, but held remarkably steady not
w~ithstanding. The market was strong
during the session, there being good local
support, while outside buying orders
were numerous. Realizing and more lib
eral selling by packers caused prices TO
decline later. but the market at no time
showed weakness. At the close May pork
was 2sc lower. May lard SC lower and
May ribs 2lkc lower.
