CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Moisture in the
Southwest was partly responsible for
the weakness here today in wheat. In
creased receipts in the Northwest made
the bearish tendency more apparent.
At the close, May Wheat was down
q a &c. Corn is off 1s@Ac. Oats are
unchanged, and provisions sc to 10c
lower.
Wheat
A weak undertone prevailed in the
wheat market from the start. AS re-
suit of lower cables and because of inn
proved weather conditions inS the
Southwest, there was quite general
selling at the opening. Receipts in the
Northwest were fairly liberal and this
contributed to the bear1sh sentiment.
Initial quotations on MAY were down
u a sc to 1a@5sc at .S110% to Sill.
There was rather light support to the
market until May had dropped to $1.10
@1.10s. Prices lowered around this
point the greater part of the day, with
only a moderate volume of business.
News from the Northwest was less
bullish than of late, the demand for
cash wheat at, Minneapolis, being re-
ported much lighter. Prospects of a
large increase in the visible supply
Monday did not tend to encourage
bull enthusiasm. A feature of the
trading was the covering by shorts in the
December option. The result was a
slight net advance in the price of that
delivery Distant deliveries benefited
to some extent by the comparative
frmness of December, but the general
undertone at the close was weak Final
quotations on May were at $1.101s.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 153, 100 bu. Primary receipts
Orc 4 hi
bu a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of GAL
cars, against 746 cars last week and
3f3 cars year ago.
Corn
Aside from good support by commits
sion houses for the May option the corn
market was without special features.
Trading was mainly of a scaiping ma
ture, and the volume of business was
small. At one time the December de-
livery sold at a discount under the
May option. Large primary receipts
were depressing factor. but prices
showed only slight losses. May opened
shade to se lower at. 45M @45Ac C
to 45Ac. sold off to 45c, and closed at
451sc. Local receipts were SIS cars,
with IL cars of contract grade.
Oats
Trading in oats was extremely quiet,
and steady tone prevailed throughout
the day. Weakness of other grains had
a depressing influence, but this was
offset by small local receipts. May
opened a shade lower to a shade higher
at 81 II c to 81 sc sold off to 81 6c and
closed at 31A Q31%c. Local receipts
were "a cars.
Provisions
Provisions were easy on lack of
support from the packers. Trading
was Eely quiet. the large stocks of pro-
visions holding speculation in check.
At the close May pork was off 500
12.S21s. Lard was down sc at $5.7015.
Ribs were 5@7 12c lower at s6.72h @
6.75.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat, So cars; corn, 773 cars; oats,
104 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

Martial Law ea1eA.

The military rule is about ended
IN Colorado. And it has accom-
plished nothing except to engender
bad feelings between miners and
mine owners. and to pile up a
great war debt for the people to
paw. This all grew out OF bad
decision Of the supreme court in
declaring the eight hour law passed
four years ago ~ unconstitutional
and the refusal of the present gem
oral assembly to reenact the law
under an amendment demanded by
majority of 10000 Of the voters
of the state. i, WAS this disregard
Of the popular will that forced the
strikes which the troops were
called out 10 suppress.
