 The wheat market was extremely dull and prices had a downward tendency. There was no disposition to trade. Outside of Argentine advices which were construed as somewhat I bearish there was nothing in the way of news to influence values. What little trading there was came from locals. the poor condition or from outsiders May opened q shade lower to 1r1Ac higher at 75%@76 and after selling off to 7sA there was rally to 7SH0IeN. put 7sA.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.-Liverpool report ed early decline of points in deliveries after which practically no change was effected and TO- 900 bales of spots crossed hands at previous prices. There a disposition here apparently to rest up little and trading on either side diminished in volume considerably, though predictions for warmer weather en- couraged the belief that expanding receipts would follow and freer offerings were extend- ed in consequence, forcing a gradual decline, though the undertone remained comparativly steady. Advocates of lower prices evil dently inclined to look for realization of their views through the medium of freer re- oeipts with the return of clear weather. as it is commonly supposed that the approach of Christmas necessitates the conversion of con- siderable cotton into cash to provide for the annual excursion of Santa Claus. Short selling Is being indulged in with little more conh- dence this account and timid longs are being influenced to This is not. to say however, that the market is devoid of a friendly feeling. There are numerous traders who believe that the size of the crop is ma terially below the average of current estimates and any serious decline is likely to witness a decided increase in the speculative demand But in the meantime the stability of the mar ket will depend more on the extent of cur rent receipts and the nature of trade in quiry for spots.
