CHICAGO, December 27.-Wheat
prices showed q downward tendency
today. influenced by an apparent let
up in export demand Bears contend
ed that world supplies are ample, and
that chances were against any last
duties or on revival Of food gedits
to Europe. Buyers in the pit were
scarce. and trade was small. Opening
quotations. which ranged from Y to
~ lower, with March. 1.s4k to 1.S4h
by = moderate rally and then by q
new downturn.
Enlarged receipts put the corn mar
ket on the downgrade. After opening
unchanged to = lower. including May
at "a to TAN. prices saSged all around
before beginning to recover.
Oats were weak with other cereals
starting y or to a shade advance, and
later declining a little more
Provisions reflected An advance in
the price Of hogs, but business lacked
volume.
Announcement Of a good.sixed de-
crease in the visible wheat supply
total failed to act as a stimulus. The
market closed heavy, IN to tx net
lower, with March, 1854 to 1851,
and May, 1.5s% to 1.5s.
Eastern demand was very slow. The
corn market finished unsettled, III
net lower to X advance, with May,
73h to 73A.
