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. .
