CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 15.-With many
traders inclined to look for reaction
from recent sharp advances. the wheat
market showed downward trend to-
day during the early transactions.
Profit-taking sales on the part of re-
cent buyers were a factor. and so,
too, was apparent absence of new ex-
port business. 1t was contended also
that the markets on this side OF the
Atlantic had been advancing much
more rapidly of late than at Liverpool.
Opening quotations here, which ranged
from 1s to IS lower. May 1.S7A to
1.67h, and July 1.47Ss to 1.411 II. were
followed by moderate further declines
and then something Of rally.
Corn and oats took their cue largely
from wheat. After opening at a to
4 off. May 1.30 to 1.a0h, the corn
market fluctuated within limits OF
about ! cent
Oats started at u to z lower, May
62I4 to 62h, but later recovered.
Provisions were easier, influenced by
ueakness of hog values and of grain.
