Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-Weakness was felt in
all grains to-day. Wheat had a quiet and
heavy market. severe storm off the English
coast prevented the arrival of Liverpool cables
but the weak tone in the London market was
thought to reflect the tone at other big marts
Business at the opening was fair and prices
remarkably steady. Northwestern receipts
were rather light, but later the primary re-
ceipts showed heavy increases and had a de-
pressing effect. Selling the main infiu-
ence, however. There practically no
country buying present and there was a heavy
liquidation at prices SOC for May. May

American advance.
Chicago declined from sO1sc to 791ac. recov-

and there were good buying orders around soc,
but heavy liquidation weakened the market
and big stop orders at 79c came in. aggra-
waiting the weakness. The country. which for
some days formed the chief purchasers and
were the prime cause of the rise, turned right
about, and fearing that they had killed the
goose that laid the golden egg, began to sell
freely. The rally at the close was caused by
crease in the Northwestern movement but the
Southwest sold freely. It had up to yesterday
