CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
The Holiday DulIness Was the Feature Of
The Day.
THERE WAS NO INCENTIVE TO THE TRADE
Pit Crowd Kicked n Football About
and Left Business for Amusement.
Statistics Incomplete.

Chicago, December 2S.-The holiday dizziness
was upon the markets today. May wheat
closed &c under yesterday May corn hc
down and May oats hc depressed. Provisions
closed easy at &c to nc lower. The record
OF the wheat market here today could be
blotted out without materially affecting COM
mere!al history With outside exchanges
closed and no Liverpool cables there was
little incentive TO the trade. The small PIT
crowd amused itself by kicking about foot
ball most of the time. Statistics were In
complete. There was tri6ng bit OF foreign
buying, but with New York open the cash
business was practically shut of. May wheat
opened and closed at 6sisd69s, sc uuder
yesterday. Local receipts were 100 cars.
Corn barely held its own. Country olerings
were small. Business was iuconsequentsl.
Local receipts were 211 cars.
Oats were at standstiil with barely lsc
fuctuation. Receipts here were PA cars.
provisions were easy but quiet.
Estimated receipts Monday. Wheat. 50;
corn. 900; oats. $50 cars: hogs, 10000 head.
