WEATHER MAKES

GENERAL RAIN OR SNOW AP.
PEARS TO LEAVE NO ENcoUR.
AGEMENT FOR THE BULLS.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-General rain or
snow over much Of the winter crop belt
made today's wheat market easy. The
protection and moisture given combin-
ed with the absence of any severe cold
and with slightly increased receipts
in the>West appeared to leave no en-
couragement for the bulls. In addition
there were complaints from millers
that flour trade was in a semi demon
allied condition. Prices after opening
unchanged to Nc lower suffered mod
crate all around decline.
Fine weather in Argentina with re-
ports of larger yield there tended to
keep the market depressed. The close
was weak "a to s@h net lower.
Although corn started firm owing to
unsettled weather, the market later de-
veloped heaviness because Of advice
that Notwithstanding the weather a
liberal movement from the country
promised to last for some time. Quota =
tons which at the outset were un-
changed to sc higher was followed by
sag to well under the previous close.
Smallness Of shipments from here
counted against the bulls. The close
was weak ~ to y q 7sc net lower.
Oats turned weak with corn. Bust
ness was only Of scattered kind.
Provisions showed a little strength as
result of an upturn in the hog mar
ket. First sales, which were almost
wholly confined to ribs, indicated an
advance Of five cents.
