FURTHER DECLINE IN WHEAT MARKET Prices Are Nervous During tho
 Entire Session VISIBLE SUPPLY SHORT Heavy Realizing By Longs In Corn Causes Material Declines In the Price-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Weak

Chicago, December 21.-Wheat prices de- clined still further today. owing to re newed selling by leading holders At the close prices were F to B cents to H. and 1ss cents below the previous close. Coarse grain and provisions also closed weak
 The wheat market was nervous through out the entire session and prices moved over a range of 7s to 1ss and IF cents Aside from increased receipts in the northwest, due chiefly to the arrival of grain that had been delayed by storms, the news of the day was bullish. De- mand for cash wheat was good at nearly all the primary points in this country and the worlds visible supply as outlined by Bradstreets indicated a decrease of 4,1O0oOo bushels for tho week.
 Although prices advanced materially several times during the day. the high level was never more than trihe above the closing figures of the previous ses. sion. The range on the December de. livery for the day was between $1 .15@j1 .157s and sl.16s4. May sold between s1. .115s@ 1.11a4 and $1.1Sls The market closed at almost the bottom with December at N.16 and May at $1.11A@1 .11%.
 Heavy realizing by local longs char acterized trading in the corn market and caused material declines in all de- liveries. Receipts were liberal The mar ket rallied sharply about the middle of the day, owing to active buying by com mission houses, but the bulge brought out renewed realizing sales. and resulted in the market closing extremely weak at the lowest point. Final quotations show net losses of 4 to 1 cent.
 Oats were inclined to be weak all day. although buying of the December delivery by shorts tended to check the decline. The market was also affected by wheat and corn. Prices at the close were Ac to A9ssc lower.
 Provisions were weak and the volume of trading was small. Packers were mod crate sellers at various times during the day, owing to prospects of an increase in receipts of live hogs The market was also depressed by the further de- cline in corn and oats. Prices at the close were to 121s cents lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

 The railroad leaders such as the great railroad stocks and United States Steel were under more or less pressure. The report of a settlement by the Lehigh Valley of the demands of it's railroad en- ,.ineers seemed to be accepted as pre- cursor of similar action by other rail- roads in the matter of the widespread demand for increased wages now pend- ing!

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York. December 21,-(Special. )-To- days market was a firm one from the opening until just at the close, when real izing caused small decline from the best prices. A better inquiry from spinners was given as the reason for the i'm provement. and as this demand was first felt in the southern markets, the earlier buying came from there, to be followed by some buying from the west The trade expects that after the turn of the year the spinners will become large buyers
 as they look for the small crop esti- mates to make themselves felt. Liverpool should advance some points tomorrow
