Chicago Produce Market
Chicago. Dec. "a

CnlcagOs Dec. I5.-tH't.
Persistent deliveries on December
wheat contracts here together with
slowness of shipping demand had a
ket as q whole. Last quotations on
wheat were unsteady at the same as
yesterdays finish to 1c lower, corn !
to &c off, oats ia, &c down, and pro-
visions unchanged to a rise of 32c.
At first the wheat market showed
something of an upward trend owing
more or less to confirmation of reduced
unofficial estimates of the wheat yield
in the prairies provinces of Canada.
Besides, there were reports of heavy
rains in Argentina likely to delay the
movement of the Argentine crop. Talk,
too, was current that no burdensome
tic market appeared probable for at
least some weeks.
Offerings of December today were
considerably larger than has been the
rule of late. Meanwhile, cash demand
here for wheat was very limited, and
export sales of North American wheas
TODAY totalled but 100000 to 100000
bushels. including a little hard winter
wheat for shipments by way OF the
Gulf of Mexico. Some selling OF
wheat on the part of the country mills
in the southwest was noted.
Corn and oats showed independent
weakness. -
