\ CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Wheat-Hold-
ers of wheat were disturbed by polit-
ical conditions and heavy realizing
were the features of the morning.
Resting orders around 2 cents under
last nights close absorbed the offer
ings well. July wheat was steadier
than yesterday, considerable amount
of short covering being induced by re-
ports from the Modern Miller and 9TH
er- sources OF unfavorable conditions
over the winter wheat belt. The
worlds shortage OF wheat is estimated
at Is per cent by the Agricultural insu-
tute at Rome, and the present demand
for cash wheat would indicate that the
shortage is beginning to be felt keenly
In importing countries. Domestic
milling stocks are light. and an Inn
proved demand from this source is ex-
pected after the first of the year.
Breaks caused by such temporary in
fluences as political news should be
taken advantage of to make purchases.
C0rn-Corn was heavy with wheat
although the break was comparatively
small. The seapoard demand contin-
ues and New Orleans is reported as
DuylAE SoIu as lat uOTlu DIS y ptiHS'
field, Ill. Local sentiment is extremely
bearish, but neither present nor indi-
Gated receipts are sufficient to cause
any accumulation.
Oats-9ats were under the infiu-
ence Of wheat and received little sup
port, excepc from the fact that sea-
board demand was again in evidence.
II eastern roads remove their embar-
goes as anticipated. an irregularly
higher market should result.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Wheat, es-
pecially the early futures. was affect
ed today by outside influences and
was weak. The break in the Mime
apolis market. lower cables, threats
of railroad strikes and promise OF a
big crop in Australia all had influ-
ence. December wheat opened un-
changed and later went to 1881,
down 11ac from the opening. May

auently recovered nearly all the loss
es. December was unchanged at noon

Oats trade was tame and feature
less. December stood at 90. up NC;
