CHICAGO, December 2.-Wheat was
steady early, but weakened on a poor
demand from outside, closing 10 sc
under yesterday. Corn, Influenced by
the wheat market, closed a shade I'M
der. Oats closed a shade higher, and
provisions 5@71ac up, the latter sup
ported by good demand and a light
hog supply.
At the opening to-day Liverpool was
less Influenced than expected by yester-
days slump in the local pit, and there
was a general disposition to even up
over Sunday. Consequently May
wheat began the day fairly steady,
shade lower at 687s 069c, and advanc-
ed to 69&c. New York early showed
an upward tendency, an encouraging
hint of better export demand. This,
however, failed to materialize; an in
crease of local stocks of about 100000
bushels was predicted and considerable
long wheat was let out. all of which
was depressing. The market sagged to
6SA @68&c, and closed nose lower
for May, at 6S34@631ac.
Corn was steady early, sympathizing
with wheat, weakening later with that
cereal on liberal receipts.
Oats was firm early and closed steady.
May sold from 2334 to 237s @24c. clos
ing a shade over yesterday at 1884
237sc.
Provisions held firm. December ribs
at one time were up 10c, a fact due. to
small stocks. May pork ranged from
$5.571a@ 9.65, and closed sc up at
1866; May lard from s5.321b to 5.37h
@5.40, closing 5@7hc higher at
$5.3715, and May ribs from $512b to
.5.1719, and closing &c better at s5.15.
