CHICAGO CHAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Wheat underwent a material setback in price today largely as the result of radical bearish views which a leading trader here expressed relative to conditions affecting the mar ket. Values at the close were unsettled, 3-4c to 2 I-2 cents net lower with May 1.22 1-4 to 1.22 3-8 and July 1.12 1-4 to 1.12 s-s. Corn finished unchanged to l cent higher, oats down 1-235-sc, and provisions off cents to 22 cents.
 Heavy selling associated with the pronounced bearish opinions which were attracting general notice put the wheat set. Most of the selling appeared to be for eastern and Chicago holders and aft CT the close 1t was estimated that fully 2O, ,000, 900 bushels of wheat owned. by such interests had been liquidated In the last three days. It was only after pTic- es' had shown an extreme decline of { cents. bushel as compared with yester. days top figures that buyers became suf- ficiently numerous to give the market 2 two sided appearance.
 According to the bear statement which received. so much attention. the United States has at present s2.000, 900 bushel; more wheat available than was the cast a. year ago. In addition, the worlds wis ibIe supply Is 45.0oQ,oo0 bushels lsrgei than tbs average of the last twent, years Weakness of the Liverpool mar. ket and of European exchange actet further as a handicap on the wheat bulls here. Besides, primary receipt were quarduple those of year ago ant
 indications pointed to timely moisture fl
 the winter crop belt.
 Corn was hrmer as a result of lessen
 ed receipts here and of activity on thu part of exporters. Oats were depresse, by the selling ascribed to elevators.
 | Provisions went lower with hoEs.
