THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat DHiI and Heavy, Closing nj
a Decline.

CHICAGO. Dec. IS.-Wheat was firm
early on higher cables from abroad. which
were simply reflection Of our advance
of yesterday, with trade light; but later,
in the absence Of outside buying and
poor demand. wheat became weak. and
prices broke cent bushel from the high
point, and the market closed heavy. isc
lower than last night. Liverpool reported
their market as quiet. I'D higher for the
day. Continental markets were slightly
higher. Cash demand was very duh here,
and the seaboard reported very little de-
mand there for export. Four of the Min
noapolis mills closed down last night. aud
mere are expected to close down before
the end Of the week.
Corn had a fairly large trade today, and
the market. after ruling firm early in
sympathy with wheat and light receipts,
became weak, and prices broke 1Is cents
per bushel from the high point. The mar
ket closed heavy, and 5sc lower than last
night. Foreign markets we're generally
quiet. Liverpool closed I'd higher than
yesterday.
Oats ruled quiet on a light trade. with
a narrow range. Opening firm the market
later sold off somewhat. and closed &c
lower than last night. Country offerings
were moderate Cash demand was rather
quiet.
Provisions opened up strong in spite of
large receipts of hogs and lower prices for
them. Local shorts bought freely and it
soon became evident that the selling was
from significant sources and the market
weakened steadily, closing quite weak.
The disappointing grain markets and be-
lief that the market will show little ac-
tiyity until after the holidays give bears
more confidence, and late today there were
quite large offerings to take profits. The
market seems 10 have open orders enough
to save IL from panicky break. but the
present outlook seems a dragging market
to perhaps lower range.

what is called nitro slycerine. The
travelling man poured the acid into the
