not be necessary to raise the ground to the

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Prices Started Downward by Good
Argentine Reports.

CHICAGO, December 16--Reports of ex-
cellent weather for harvesting In Argentina
started prices OF wheat on downward
course today and closing quotations showed
the May delivery or Hale. Corn was down
&c. Oats were OF Nc. Provisions were
shade to sc. lower.
The wheat market was weak from the
opening to the close. Bull leaders who had
during the last few days given the market
SUFFICIENT support to prevent any material
decline did not today resist the efforts of the
bears. On the contrary, one of the prlncs-
pal longs was credited with sales OF wheat
to considerable amount This was the
chief source of weakness, although the
cablegrams from Argentina had caused
bearish sentiment at the opening. The bulk
of offerings was taken by shorts.
The market closed weak, with prices prac-
ticaliy at the lowest point OF the day. May
opened unchanged to Nc. lower at Ssssc- to
$3.50. slumped off to STAG and closed at
s7aassc Clearances of wheat and -four
were equal to 10000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts were 767 600 bushels, against $4,000
bushels one year ago Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 53I cars,
against 465 cars last week and 641 cars one
year ago.
Considering the break in wheat, the corn
market was remarkably firm. The feature
of trading was the active demand by shorts
for the December option. The buying was
due to the small amount of contract corn
reported in the daily arrivals. The market
closed steady May opened a shade to &c
lower at 44asc. to 44asa4451c., sold between
44isa444c and 441sc. and closed at 44asc
Local receipts were 462 cars with one of
contract grade.
Weakness of wheat caused an easier tone
in the oats market. Cash houses and pit
traders were the principal sellers, but offer
ings were small. Indications of an increase
in the movement tended to depress values.
May opened unchanged to triHe higher, at
crI1 80 - H. a11 -
32ha 32hc. Local receipts were 153 cars.
On account of moderate realizing by local
longs the provisions market was a triie
easier. Local traders were bearshIy in
clined, being influenced by predictions of a
liberal increase In receipts of hogs next
week. At the close May pork was off &C.,
at 1925. Lard was down a shade at 7.27&a
