CHICAGO, December 22.-Board of
trade markets were dull to-day be-
cause of the holidays. May wheat
closed unchanged. December corn
closed 1c. January CSC and May &c
lower. Oats closed unchanged and
provisions practically at yesterdays
final figures.
The day preceding three days 'sus-
pension of business was, as might be
supposed. u~nproductive of activity in
wheat as other markets. The inclina-
ton of traders to keep out was not
disturbed by the news, which was col
orless. Liverpool was inactive and
prices were practically unchanged.
Northwest receipts were liberal.
Minneapolis confirmed reports of a
heavy -four business for export yester-
Gay and millers were said to be buying
wheat. Argentine news was conflict
ing as usual. May opened B0Ac
lower at 72Bc sold between 72M@
727Bc and 1880 and closed unchanged
at 73673Bc. Exporters reported four
loads taken for export. SeabOard

equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary

eapOlis and Duluth reported 524 cars
against 412 last week. Local receipts
were lis cars, one of contract grade.

] 35580&c and closed &c down at 35A.
