Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 19-wheat has been
ouil, with commission houses the early
sellers, causing a little weakness, but
good buying by local traders resulted
In recovery of the loss and a fair ad-
vance over yesterday. There was no
feature. sentiment was mixed, cables
lower, weather good. Clearances small,
receipts fair all against the market.
There was early influential buying
OF May corn, but as a rule the mar
ket was dull, and aside from small Of
Ierlngs, featureless. Some selling was
said to be for Cudahy. Late in the
session predictions of wet weather was
help. News was bearish.
Local traders and commission houses
were good buyers of May oats, causing
an advance to 1880, and holding we'll
at the top prices, in spite of liberal
offerings in way of liquidation. The
demand was good.
Buying by shorts caused a strong
provision market to-day. but the top
hgures did not hold, due to selling
OF January pork and ribs by Upton.
There was a firm feeling throughout
the session, however, and prices as
rule are better than yesterday.
