Heavy Sellinjr of December ami May Com Causes Depression Provisions Weak. Chlentro. Nov. 21. Humors of an lrr.pend hiR deal in -wheat, under tlio leadership of a prominent operator, were current on the Hoard of Trade to-day and caused considerable anxiety amonjr shorts, and covering by these interests resulted In a EtronK market, may closing "401c higher. May corn -was He lower. Slay oats were :io lower, while January provisions closed ficm a shade to 7!4c lower. "WHEAT. Wheat ruled strong, although there was little improvement in the volume of trade. The Impression prevailed amonc traders that too much has been finding Its way Into tho hands of a leading bull operator, and as the crowd in general whs Miort, there was good demand from this source throughout the day. Outside markets were higher, those -at Minneapolis and Duluth being especially strong, which influenced price? here. May was in better demand than Dec. and opened a shade to V?Jic higher at TSVrfiTSVic and advanced gradual ly as the dav progressed. Advices from Ar centlna state that the exportable surplus was much less than at lirst estimated and this had a strengthening Influence during tho latter part of the session. The close -was KQlc higher at T9c. Dec ranged i-etween TWS'c and 79j.5Si-c, closing 9;c higher at 79j;c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 332.200 bu.

Du luth and Chicago reported receipts of l,sS cars, aganlst SM cars last week, and 1,415 a year ago. CORN. Tho feature In the trading In corn was tho heavy selling of both Dec and May by a prominent commission-house. The market was heliied by tho strength in wheat and steady cables, but Dec. was depressed by the decline In tho price of new corn and the increased receipts. May foM between 41c ond -Be closing a shade higher at -!l?ic. Dec closed c lower at -t Ijical receipts were 4W cars, with 1 of contract grade. OATS. Oats continued weak under heavy sell ing by the same commission house, as was selling corn, and which has been active on that side of tho market the past few days. The offerings met with only scattered demand. May was in fair demand from commission and cash houses, and part of tho loss was regained.

The five principal Western mar kets l-.ad a total cf 71.4.30. compared with 5. .wo a week apo. Outside Infiuerccs were unfavorable to sellers and local buers were very bearlh. especially I.ac);ers. and they succeeded In brcakltic the market to the extent of fully 15c. making price now on the lowest basis for several years. Nothlcc except the best sold above 54.25. The market Is now $2 per 100 lbs. lower than this time a year aso. nnd nearlv J4 lower than the hlch time two jean, ago. Rial good p'cs and lights are again selllns Rt t top ot the mar ket, but thwe that are on! .air have .Inclined as fast as the heavier hog. The market was slow, dull and drRggv all day. and closed a shade weaker than the oienlns. UghtM weighing 1W to 14S lbs. sold at $1.10 4.25; lights. 130 to 18S lbs., at S4.15S4.2S: me dium weights. Sl.2054.30. nnd good heavies at S4.22HSi4.il. Tho bulk of the good medium and heavy hogs sold at 1.224.25, against S4.35fl4.40 Monday. SHRI7I A good moderate supply of cheep was on sale, and the arrivals Included a few pood lambs, also somo good mutton sheep, but the qualltv was no better than usual. A good demand prevailed and the market opened active with values strong to a shade higher on nil decent killing stuff; however, there was no Im provement on the half-fat and all such as classed as no Ik tter than fair. Thin lambs con tinue to bo poor sale, ns thero Is practically no demand for them. The stocker trade waa nn chansed. IlonSKS The feeling of comparative easiness which was manifested In tho opening of the horso market this week still obtains, nnd while thero Is no distinct change In -values e-r a markM weaknsss in any way or on any partic ular kind, the fact remains that the undertono is not as good a a week ago. and a decline of S3'.710 Is generally In force, when contrasted with conditions pre-aillng two weeks ago. In view of there being a largo supply, buyers, who are bv no means few. aro taking advantage of the situation to buy a little easier, and for this reason th-re Is not as much briskness to tho movement and moro uofsuaslon Is necssary to effect sales. The market on ton Southern hors3 perhaps shows tho least effect of this Fhadlng of strength, all such classes being actively wante-1 by buyers, who do not delay the purchase ef them for any small conce's .mi: In fact, top 87outhern horses are holding their own better than anv other class, and arc selling to thi best advantago In the present niarkst. Strictly IP--W1 17-estern horses have some call. but the demand Is light, owing to the ba1 stst of the Hastem markets. The classes most affected by the offish tendency are plain rough chunks, gcnernl-purposo h.-rses nnd common Southerners. Under the circumstances. It Is not an unfavorable market, but one disadvan tage Is that too many commen horses ate being received.

Too many thin and rough mules are being placed on the market, which are In reality the cause of much of the slowness, as dealers have plenty of this class already on hand and are seeking nene but mules that ran lie turned over Immediately. Somo of the arrivals are good mules, but are lacking In flesh and finish and are equally as hard to ells pose of as common mules. In short, anything that Is r.ot "ripe" is finding slow sale. Receipts thus far this week are not as heavy as last, and apparently are about a3 many as needed, for dealers say they are not doing ns much business as a week ago. The cotton mule demand Is still the best feature of the market.
