CHICAGO Dec. 26.-Boari OF Trade markets

OF bearish government report tomorrow and
the absence of outside support depressed wheat.
May closing Ac lower. December closed
lc lower, January shade higher. and May un-
changed. Oats closed unchanged. Provisions at
the close were 2lsc TO 7lsc lower.
Wheat was profoundly and solemnly dull.
There was scarcely enough business to keep
brokers awake and nearly all Of that was of
local scalping order. The opening was firm
on moderate worlds shipments and FOR time
prices held fairly steady helped later by the
visible increase of only $4,000 bu Later, talk
that the government report, due tomorrow,
would be decidedly bearish and the absence of
good shipping inquiry caused weakness and
prices declined on ensuing liquidation. May sold
between 7SI4@73ssc and 725ie, closing &c lower

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.


AS usual, following Christmas. the whole
sale streets and on Commission row trade was
slow and until after New Years much activity
is not looked for. Many of the wholesale houses
are already taking account of stock and sum-
ming up the result of the years business opera
tions, which, in most cases. are already known
TO be highly satisfactory. In prices yesterday
there importan. changes. Now that
Christmas is past. lower prices for poultry and
eggs looked for. but choice butter rules firm.
The holidays reduced somewhat the holdings of
fruits and vegetables of the commission mer-
chants and as a result prices are more steady
and frmer in tone. Some fine oranges and ap-
pies are offered. The provision. hide and -four
markets rule easier IN tone at recent revisions.
Other markets are without new features.
The local grain market is disappointing in VOL
rme OF receipts, but little wheat or oats ar
irving. and the receipts of corn not large
as they should be. fine conditions for moving
cereals being considered. Track bids yesterday.
