MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY

Chicago, Dec. 26.--wheat: The mar
ket opened steady. easing with weak
ness in the northwestern markets
where receipts over holidays were very
very large. Prices recovered on the
posting Of the higher markets n
Buenos Ayres, holding fairly steady
at the decline during the session.
southwestern markets were relatively
firmer than our own, with light re-
CENTS. The market has lacked new
buying power today, the little rallies
which have taken place being due to
covering by pit shorts. There has
been some good selling by commission
houses and the general trend OF the
market seems lower, although II viii
