CHICAGO, December 1.-THE pam
icky condition of Wall street exerted a
downward pressure on the wheat mar
ket to-day, May closing at a 81 of &c
from Saturday. Corn, too, felt this in
~fluence, but was steadied by the wealth
er, May closing Ac down. Oats, finish
ed a shade lower and provisions un-

vanced 3@5c.
Wheat opened barely steady, May I'M
changed from Saturdays close ct 697s
@70c, trembled on the brink and then
tumoled over impelled by the down
ward pressure of the panicky financial
condition of Wall street, an increase
in the visible, of which a liberal de-
crease had been expected, and the large
worlds shipments. The first slump
carried May under puts and on buying
against the privilege the market held
steady at the decrease for a while, May
%fiuctuating between 69ss @695sc for
some time. The increase in the visible,
coming on top of predictions Of a lib
eral decrease, precipitated considerable
long wheat into the pit, and the market
sank without support to 69Bc for May.
This option closed sc under Saturday
at 69B@69Hc. Local receipts were 40
cars, 40 of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 500 cars. against
go last week and 1,426 a year ago.
Primary receipts were 5000 bushels,
compared with 1,532.40 bushels last
year. The visible increase was put at
$4,000 bushels. Atlantic port clear-

noes for the day were 2ss, 900 bush

ances for the day were 286,0oO bush
els.
Corn was easy with evidences of i'm
portant selling probably animated by
the Wall street break. Wet weather
was a ~steadying influence, the Interrupt
ton of the movement resultant to the
rains resisting the downward pressure
on the New York bourse. "A decrease
in the visible of 100000 bushels and in
local stocks of $4,000 bushels had a
steadying tendency. There was some
activity early, but the greater portion of
the session was dull. Country offerings
were as usual small. Receipts here
were 290 cars. May ranged from 325sc
to $3.50, closing Ac down at $3.50
32%c.
Cats barely held their own, a fair
cash demand contending against de-
pressing conditions in the other mar
kets with such success that the loss
was slight. There was little done spec
ulatively and the range was narrow.
May sold from 24@24Bc to 23% @24c,
closing a shade under yesterday at 24c.
Receipts here were 242 cars.
Provisions were firm, supported by
considerable outside buying. The Wall
street weakness was felt to a degree,
but as all offerings were readily accept
ed, the price did not suffer. The local
run of hogs was under the estimate
and at western points receipts were I'M
der last year. May pork sold from
$10.05 to $10.10, and closed unchanged
from yesterday at s10.05; May lard from
$5.55 to $500, closing 2kc lower at
$5.55, and May ribs from S5.37h to
$5.37k@5.40, closing unchanged at
$5.37A.
The f1axseed market was firm, selling
from &c to SC better. The advance in
the Duluth market caused considerable
buying here. December opened at S1.46
and closed at $1.49. May opened at
$1.40 and closed at $1.45.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, lis cars; corn, 500 cars; oats,
275 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Spectator as the reason for the weak
ness abroad. At the close the metal
exchange reported pig iron warrants

nominal at s17.00; tin very weak at
$25. 50@26.00; lead steady at $4.65@
