Chicago, Dec. 26.— was just 1 o'clock to
day when May wheat sold at the bottom
point, $1.02%. This was Just 6c under
the closing price on Saturday. There was
but «^c loss at the opening this morning,
May at $1.07i"2. The order of tin day
was to sell; everybody appeared to obey.
The first hour brought out an amount of
long wheat from all quarters. The price
went off to $1.05% quickly. Then there
was a rally to $l.«'()iA. After some hesita
tion, the offerings began again and the price
reduced to $1.05, and selling on stop orders
put it down to $1.04 J*. This was the
second stopping place. After a rally of '.c
to $1.05% the third slide began, and the
price fell down lie and 'Ac at a time to
$1.02%. That was the bottom. A little
rally carried the price to $1.03%, and the
close was at $1.03. Other futures closed:
December, 97% c; January, 97% c. The loss
in May for the day was 5Uc The selling all
day long was led by Hutchinson. Jones.
Kennett and Hopkins sold heavily and
hurried the break from $1.06 to $1.05.
Later,.!. E. Boyd & Co. became heavy sellers,
and helped the price from $1.04 to the
bottom. The conundrum was whether the
Fairbank wheat was unloaded. Mr. Fair
bank was on the floor and said he was not
selling to-day. Bloom claimed that Fair
banks wheat was sold several days ago.
W. T. Baker said the market was already
lower than he thought it would go.
Altogether, it was a big break. Oats
dull, weaker and declined %C, but rallied
slightly and closed easy. Offerings were
large and buyers Indifferent about taking
hold. Receipts were large and percentage Of
contract grades small. May sold at 26%®
291,'sc, closed at 20c. There was pretty free
selling of hog products to-day, which re
sulted in a general decline in prices. Com
pared with Saturday, the closing figures to
day were 12%®15c lower for short ribs,
Ls@2oc lower for lard and 3.-t_i32%C
lower for mess pork. May ribs opened steady
at $7,071.2 and Closed at 16.95. May lard
opened 2%c lower, nt $7.9. ',2, and closed at
$7.82%. Mess port sold from $13.60 to
$13.30 for May, while January closed 32% c
hover nt $12.90. Corn was quiet and steady,
wilh transactions largely of a scalping nat
ure. Offerings were light. Receipts were
1,009 cars for two days.
THE BOUT-SB RKI'OiIT.
Chicago, Dec. 26.— A weak and heavy feel
ing existed in wheat to-day, and prices de
clined to a point Stye below closing figures
of Monday, and closed si,fcc lower. All the
markets were in pretty much the same weak
and demoralized condition. The increase in
the visible supply was larger than had been
expected, though this was known Monday,
but it had a weakening effect. As prices de
clined, "long" wheal came upou the market
and the speculative offerings were very
heavy. Part ot the wheat was brought out
by the exhaustion of margins, nnd there was
no doubt a good deal of wheat closed out by
parties who did not see Indications ahead for
any immediate turn for the better In the
market "tie prominent trader was
credited with having sold very freely,
his Belling- being estimated at from 2,0.»0,
--000 to 3.000.000 bu. Whether ibis was
short or long wheat it was difficult to say;
many, however, believing them to be short
sale:'. Other prominent traders who have
figured conspicuously on the bull side, ii was
claimed, had not sold" much wheat. Tne open
ing was about %<S&tc below Saturday's clos
ing, aud soon decliuod l^c more; then held
steady for a while between $1.05%©1.06iA
for May, but later again became heavy, de
clining to $1.0184. line the market remained
for a while, but again a weak spell occurred,
prices declining 2%c The decline was very
rapid, the feeling panicky, and i: was almost
Impossible to execute order* at iimss when
the market was most excited nt the limits
given. Prom $1.02% for May, the outside
(igure reached, prices rallied lc very sharply,
again eased off, and closed 5%c lower than
the closing figures Saturday, Outside 111
--fluences apparently had but little effect,
and received out little attention.
Corn ruled quiet and rather firm. Trading
was only moderate and chiefly local, With
fluctuations of 11 light nature. Prices after
the market ruled quite firm, advanced %C,
became steady and closed V»<~\ "Ac higher than
Saturday. In oats a dull, weak feeling pre
vailed, and prices declined i*c. ' The weak
nest and heavy decline In wheat caused
operators to hold off, and it required very
light offerings to cause the decline. Consid
erable pressure to sell early in the day. main
ly on local account caused an easier feeling
iii mess pork, and prices declined 3 Qft32%c.
The demand was only fail and chiefly from
shorts. Prices recovered 2..©50 from the
inside figures reached, and the market closed
comparatively quiet and steady. A moder
ately active trade waa reported In lard ; prices
receded 17%@20c per 100 lbs; rallied about
2ViC and closed steady. Trading was fairly
active in short rib sides. Prices ruled some

some demonstration against the list ' which,
with the continuance of the gcod buying,
made an irregular and somewhat feverish
mi»'tet, which - fluctuated for . most
stocks- within a comparatively narrow
range. Prices, on the whole, were
very well maintained and the reactions were
not sustained, except in the grangers and
coalers, among which St. Paul was . weak in
the afternoon after the publication of the
earnings for the third week in December,
which showed a decrease of over $93,000.
Delaware <t Hudson was almost neglected,
but it sold at a marked decline from its last
recorded sale and is the only stock showing
a material loss as a result of the day's opera
tions. Lake Shore was the great feature of
the day and in consequence of . the firm be
lief on" the other side that there will be an in
crease in the rate of dividend to be declared
this month, and buying orders were placed
in the stock for foreign account which,
added to the heavy purchasing for domestic
account made the stock specially prominent
both for activity and strength, and it stands
alone this evening in showing a heavy ad
vance. There was some buying of Richmond
& West Point late in the day, but the im
provement in the price of the stock
amounted . to a small fraction ouly.
Among the inactive shares, Big Four was
specially strong, while Rock Island « as
very weak again in the forenoon, though it
recovered handsomely later in the day. The
market opened with a very active business
and first prices were all up from Vis to Vi per
cent from Monday's final figures. The Van
derbilts were strong, but ihe rest of the list
hbo\ved considerable weakness and retired to
fractions below first prices, while Lake Shore
quickly became the feature and rose over a
point right at the start. After the first hour
there was a steadily decreasing volume of
business, and while a tendency to advance
appeared it was checked by the publication
of the loss in earnings on the st. Paul, and
in the afternoon the business done dropped
to mid-summer proportion ;, while little prog
ress was made in either direction. In the
last hour the market developed considerable
activity again, especially in Lake Shore,
which once more shot up a point and the
rest followed, the market closing active and
firm, though generally at slight fractious
under the opening figures. The final changes
are irregular but generally fractions
lower, while Lake Shore rose 1%

There was - very little inquiry for ; grades
except for No. 1 northern at the opening,
with sales chiefly for May.. There was un
usual weakness in spite of small receipts and
large shipments. Reports , from New York
and Chicago were bearish, and there was no
"hews of a sustaining character from any
where. The early sales were at J1.10V4 May,
then there were large sales at I.lo. and j
later large offerings at that without takers.?
The market reacted a trifle, and sales were
again atJl.lOVs, but another decline set in.
and the market dropped down -to - $1.0914,
and on down to 81.09 sellers. The low point
of the break was 81-08%, which soon rallied I
to 81. <( 9, with heavy selling at that, and all
that was offered taken. Hard was held for
May at about 81.21, with no call for "No. 2
futures Each succeeding break carried
prices down a cent, and near ■ the close May j
sold at Sl.OOi.g. but a reaction to $1.0," oc
curred at the finish. . ■ :.l

in getting bids for grain at anywhere near
former prices. In fact, the drop in outside*
markets had the effect of suspending traffic
in cash grain almost wholly for a lime, and
the market was so unsettled all day that buy
ing was very limited. Some sales* of No. 1
northern were made earl* at $1...", but the
demand at that was limited and sales during
the session were at Irregular prices. Receipts
for the two days were 176 cars, and 173 were
shipped out. Duluth reported 84 cars ou

Fl-OUn AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour— There was a small demand for
broken lots of flour, nnd was evidently meas
ured by expectation of a decline, Reduc
tions in price will be resisted by holders of
the stocks on hand. A year ago the coarse
productions, such as bran, shorts and low
grades sold higher than now. Bakers' flours
are held higher nominally, but bring little
more than a year ago. .Millers are therefore
compelled to get back the increased cost of
wheat from patents. Or the 'Me extra cost of
wheat must come from the artjpunt extra
that can be realized from about 20 lbs of
patent Hour. It is difficult to realize that
they can afford to sell lower. Patents, sacks

Bran and Shorts— The bran market was
dull, and small sales mostly of a half retail
character at about $11; common shorts
about the same as bran.
Com— Very light.stock on hand, and hold
ers asking about 30c lor cars of sound corn.
Onts — The offers were quite free, am! prices
steady; held at 23@30C, with good retail
stock selling in car lots nt 2, »@'-7c.
Barley— Continued dull, and the market
unsatisfactory.. with sales ranging from 30c
