Chicago, Dec. 1s.-Wheat tended
downward in price today. bearish-
" affected BY absence Of any sign
of new export business. Dspres-
sion Of the cotton market was also
IN element Of weakness in the
wheat trade. Cd the other hand.
country offerings proved extremely
light. Opening prices, which rang
ed from Nc to 1Ac lower, with
March 1.6z to 1.e1A, and May 1.57
to 1.s7h, were followed by mod
crate further declines and then
something Of rally.
Later there was a reversal OF
sentiment, the change due more or
less to a report that vessels had
arrived at Galveston and were to
load out 5000, 900 bushels Of wheat.
The market closed firm, SIC to &c
net higher, with March at 1864 to
1861 and May at Liz to 1.61h.
The market subsequently ad-
vanced on buying ascribed to shorts
and elevator interests. The close
was strong, 19sc to &c net higher,
with May 74Nc to 75c.
Deliveries on December contracts
eased the corn market. After OPP
ening unchanged to NC higher,
with May 731sc, prices showed a
downward slant.
Oats were steadied by some i'm
provement of shipping demand, the
market starting unchanged to Nc
higher, and later hardening little
more. M
Provisions lacked any aggressive
support and were inclined to sag.
