OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , DECEMBER 80 ; 1887 : THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS , Grain Pita Rule Rather Heavy With Only a Blight Decline. VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN CORN. OntM Prove to He About the Strongest Article Traded In Cattle Only Moderately Active Gen eral Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE ! MARKET. CiiiCACio , Dec. 29. [ Special Telegram to the BEE. ] The grain markets were rather heavy to-day , though the dcclino In prices on the morning's trading was slight. The np- preaching holiday and the effect of the close of thu month was felt In rather light bus ! neM and In evening up local traders , to whom the markets are largely left now. May wheat O | ncd nt 85 < c , which was ) c under last night's close , and very gradually dropped to 85c , advanced to 8T ) { c , dropped to 84J c , touched 85c again , fell to 64c , and , shortly before the close , advanced to 85) ) o and rested at 8.85Vc at 1 o'clock. January wheat opened at 78)f78)1'c ) ( ) , sold at n and down to 77J c and closed at 1 o'clock at 78V@78tfc. The recent closing out of their long wheat by a couple of the heaviest local bull houses has taken the sustaining Influence out of the market , and one of them Is thought to have gone over on the other side. There was very little of Interest In the corn market. There , as In wheat , the heavy bulls Bccmcd to have evened up , and without much bunlncss for the outside a few unimportant short sellers wore ublo to ponnd prices' down somewhat , although wllh any fair buying orders thcro came a reaction , and at the close thu Hamo covering of local short sellers ad vanced prices again to within Jfc of yester day's close. May corn opened at 54)4e ) and for a long time hung between 54 ? < fc and 64)4e ) , then foil to We , but at the close of thomornlng ncssion advanced to 54j ? c and rested there at 1 o'clock , January corn opened ut-Wjifc , sold down to 48J e and closed nominally at 4 ! c at 1 o'clock. Oatn were about the strongest thing on the floor and May closed fractionally higher than yesterday , although at times during the scs- Hlon the weak tone of the other pits reflected there. May oats opened at 34) ) c and almost Immediately advanced to 34c , then fell to 84X < a34)4'o ) and closed at 1 o'clock at IM' c. For January outs air was bid at the opening , but the close was at : wj < c. In the provision market the feature of the day's business was the free selling of May lard by the party credited yesterday with the .unloading of May pork. It is claimed by the 'well-Informed" that his sales of lard ag gregated upward of 15,000 tearces and that ho has now practically disposed of all his long lard and pork. In addition to the selling of this prominent hull , general trading exhibited fair activity. There was no great stir , but business was sufficiently animated through out to prevent any flagging of Interest , while the trade showed the possession of a strong tone. Lard was depressed n little by the operations of the bull party referred to , yet , based on last night's closings , prices at I o'clock wcro only 7)4 < ? $10o lower. I'ork rested unchanged nt 5o higher and short ribs un changed at 2) ihigher. .
