CHICAGO , Dec. 29-The Liverpool nd-
\ance unel light lecolpls were n steadying
influence to a. very quiet wheat market to
dny , Mny closing unchanged from ycster-
dny. Corn closed n shndo lower nnd oats
unchanged. At the close provision" were
jirnetlcnlly unehnngeil freim yestelelny.
Animated by n desire to emulate the Liv
erpool market , which exhibited some
ntrength nnd with light rore'pts ' ns n sup
port , wheat at the opening o far shook oft
the holldny drowsiness as to show a shade
gain , Mny nt G9V 9V4c Hnvlng ( stnbllshed
n pathway Ho In width , the mnrket pro-
reeded to keep within that innge , oce a-
Klonully stopping to catch n few momeniK'
filee-p The close was steady , rfnchanged
from yesterday , Mny ut G9'c. The foreign
tlemnnel was flat nnd the local but little
better. New York reported twelve loads
taken for export. Seaboard clearances were
repml In wheat and flour to 451,000 bu Pri
mary recqlptH were 110,000 bu , compared
with 753,100 bu last year Minneapolis nnd
Dtllulh reported 333 cars , against 110 last
week and 4JS a year ago Local receipts
were 119 car" , 20 of contract grade.
Corn vvas steady , but notable principally
fur Its dullness Retelpts were light , tleai-
nnees liberal and country offerings small
Klovalor people sold sparingly their offer
ing ! ' being readily taken by shorts and the
bull crowd us well ns" by rhlppers. Some
thing of an outside demand developed about
the mlddlei of the session. Local receipts
ivero 217 cars Atlantic port exports for
the day vve > rt91,000 bu. May rangeel from
T234P to 327f73V { , , clewing a shade under ) cs-
terelay at 32V
OntH were quiet , within a range of only
l-1fic for Mav Shorts bought a little , but
offerings were small. Local receipts were
127 car.s. May closed unchanged from jo1-
terday at 2-t5 ; f(2.114C (
Provisions were dull , but not as much HO
as the. grain markets The tone was steady
Initial figures were the best for the day ,
but the early gain was lost on moderate
Belling by longs The bull crowd vvas
npathctlo and generally tiado was of an
nvenlng up character The range vvas
therefore n.inow May pork sold from
$10 I2Vto $10.55 and closed unchanged at
$10.I7'4 , Mn > lard from $5 SO to $ " > 8" , closing
unchanged at $5 X2'/j and Mav r'b" from
$5 5314 to $5.57' ' , the close showing a shade
