OMAHA, Dec. l6, 1895.
The weakness in wheat today seems TO
nave been the result of the action Of the
interests which bought bids heavily last
msht and sold the wheat at the opening
ms morning and were reported to be buy
sis on the frst break to ooc OF the May.

Liverpool. wnIle not materially changed,
reported holders firm. New YORK claims an
excellent demand TOR Manitoba wheat, not
WllhsIandlnS the oullness, and 500 BUSH
rs are SAID to nave been worked to France,
lne nrst IN number of years.
Inc tendency OF May corn TO ympathize
WIN the weakness in wheat was checked
by the strength shown by the Old Decem-
per wnich advanced lie on very little buy
ing. The current month is CUngested,
ana as there is little corn of the contract
craze ana but n snort time TO make more,
the price seems largely question OF
whether holders act in harmony or not.
oats were easier selling in sympathy
with the weakness in wheat. The market
acted rather stubborn for the May around

commission houses developed.

From the Record Herald: The European

The whole world is waiting for Argentine
wheat. There is only about one weeks eX
