CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Notwithstanding that wheat today oveT-topped any pre- vious price which May delivery had touched this season, the market through out most of the board of trade session ruled lower. Proft-taking by holders together with Christmas curtailment of new ventures had bearish effect. The close was easy, at 3-4 to l 1-s cents de, cline, May SPA 1-2 to $1.24 5-S and July S1!13 5-S to $1.13 3-4. Corn fin- ished l to 1-4 cents down, oats of 1-2 to 7-Sc, and provisions varying from Is cents setback to IT cents advance.
 It was right at the opening that the market reached the apex of prices. This initial appearance of strength was due chiefly to indications of possible export business of unusual volume, and because of an upturn in values at Liverpool | Subsequently, however, evidence accu- mulated that foreign demand was only fair, and for the most part confined to wheat grown in Canada. During the remainder of the day, little power to rally developed.
 Gossip that heavy arrivals of new wheat were expected at Argentine ports early in January and that Greece was buying wheat on credit in Argentina, at- tracted considerable notice as bearish factor, and so, too, did word that Min neapoLlS StoCkS or "neaL nao increased 700,000 bushels fof the week. On the other hand, advices were received tell. ing of heavy rains interfering with with the harvest in New South Wales. An. nouncement that directors of the board of trade had gone on record as favor, ing quick legislation to aid the farmers was without apparent effect on the mar ket.
 Heavy receipts tended to depress corr and oats. There was talk. too, of prob able increased arrivals of corn.
 Provisions averaged higher in lin with the hog market.
