Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Dec. confidence among
the bears in the grain pits brought grief to
many shorts to-day. Liquidation for profits
and short selling brought tremendous VOL
ume of business, but the low prices which fol-
lowed these weakening influences were too
tempting to the big public and amid scenes Of
the widest confusion wheat was sent up to
new crop record price.
Wheat sold in great quantities at the open
ing. Conditions had changed; there was not
the same general clamor for the cereal from
the country and there was nervous feeling
resultant from the tumble of prices in Wall
street. In general there was an inducement
for people with high priced lines to take good
profits. Big houses with connections in New
YORK, the Northwest and st. Louis were heavy
sellers, and Patten is reported to have un-
loaded IOO0,O 600 bushels of wheat. As the mar
ketS weakened in price they were met with a
renewal Of outside buying, which was in such
bulk that it could hardly have come from
scattered outsiders. Some Of the persistent
bulls continued buying. and even at the top
prices at the opening thought the bargain a
good one. Conditions that usually govern were
somewhat mixed Cables were not quite as
responsive as expected. Though the English
country markets were reported very strong
Northwestern receipts were falling off. but pri-
mary receipts showed good gain. The in
creases in readstuffs on passage and in the
visible supply also were bearish factors. With
all these influences to abet the selling pressure
prices fell of badly. May options, which opened
hQAc higher to 3s@hc lower at S2zsGS2Kc
steadily fell to size. Shorts were jubiiant and
the reaction with the force of a whirlwind
Buying orders sprang up all around and it
became woefully apparent that the market was
heavily oversold. In twenty minutes the price
for May was up again to 8S2tc, a new crop
record. The close was very strong &c above
Saturday, at S32s@S31zc
Corn started strong because of the snow and
rain. which. it was thought, might hinder
farmers deliveries. Heavy profit taking how
ever, made itself felt in weakening of prices
Increased Western offerings and the slump in
wheat caused a further decline until NAV
touched 67%c. Wheat strength however came
to the rescue just before the end of the ses-
sion and buoyed May up to a steady close
&c lower at 6S5sc.
After an opening at about steady prices oats
suffered a material loss under early heavy
liquidation from several of the most prominent
professionals. Prices were off at one time 1ssc

wheat became manifest followed cIosinp
