The wheat market has fallen Into dull lines. Lending longs , representing nt-'groKiited holdings of | > osslbly 20,000 bush els , continue to "stand pat. " The pastime of "milking the market , " which has been more or less prolltulily engaged In of Into , is becom ing less attract I vc , within the narrow rntigo now | ircvulllnp , and scalpers and operators in general arc seemingly anxious for a de cided movement , up or down , as being ttio only thing that will Infuse genuine life Into trade. To employ n time-honored nhraso that has been trotted out from time immemo rial , nbout this date , "Tho mnrket has assumed n holiday character. " That it will stay In this Btato of quietude until nftcr the holiday sea- BOH , docs not follow necessarily , yet the gen cinllty of traders appear to think that such will be the- case , and they do not look for nny great change In tlio Immediate future. Opinions as to the ultimata course of values nro seldom mono radically at variance than now. The bears believe flrinly that there nro big reserves in the country avallnblo for Hour manufacture , and the bulls , whllo ad mitting that the stocks of Hour may bo large , point to the fact that tlio stocks in sight nmount In reality to less than two weeks' domestic consumption ro retirements and that tlicio is a daily change for the better going on in the Jlour trade. This , according to their way of thinking , goes to prove that consumption is nguin catching up with production. The ad ditional fact Is advanced that f.irmeis' deliv eries of wheat , winter and Rpriuff , Imvo fal len oft to almost nothing , thus making it cer tain that the visible stocks of wheat arc at nbout their maximum. Tlio millers' conven tion now In session in .Milwaukee , scums to bavo been culled more with the view to ad- vcitiso the alleged big stocks of Hour , and to depress the wheat market , than to enter into niiy combination. If the millers had been short of wheat for milling purposes , and desirous of laying In supplies ut cheaper llgures , they could not well Imvo hit upon u happier plan of accomplishing their object than in publicly calling a convention to discuss the pollcj of "curtailing production until supplies were re duced to reasonable limits " However , leaving this convention of millers out of the question , the situation cannot bo said to be more favorable to the bc.irs than It 1ms been nt an tinui for months. It is , on the contrary , better for bulU.accordmg . to the bullish view. They certainly display no signsof weakening. Cables were dull and rather easier , and the domestic markets very generally followed the loan of Chicago , opening weak and act ing indecisively for a couple of hours , and then advancing and closing strong. The local market opened with the Hales for May deliv ery ut $1 IDffil. 10' ' . Prices worked down to f l.OOjJf , with , vciy llttlo business at inside ilgurcs. It then advanced tel 10 ' , declined to $1.10 , imiRPU atSl.lOJ l.lOift for quite a time , and fiom $1 10' < f advanced rapidly to tt.lOJtf , closing at $1 I0 * , or identically the same liguro ns on yesterday. Trade was of small volume and laigoly local. MOID business was done during tho. last half hour of the session than nt any previous hour of tr.iding. The last rally was occasioned principally by the covering by shorts. There \vasatuotimo any pressure of property on the market , -und towards the end scalpels pot excited over the circulation of the reports tending to show n decided and general im provement In the flour trade. It did not take them long to run prices up on themselves. The range on near months w as as follows : Dccembcropcncd at $1.04 Jf , sold up to $1.04 nominal , and closed at $1.04 % . January Bold up from $1.05@1.05 } and closed at the outside. A change came ever the spirit of the corn croud to-day , and from the lowest depths of the heavy and declining market there was a notable and sensible reaction. The continuously poor grading of the dally receipts is at length becoming so marked as to cause the short sellers to pause , and upon looking around to-dav they seemed to con clude that nny effort to cover the sales in which good profits existed , would only bo in the direction of reasonable caution. The re ceipts wore nearly 70 cais under yesterday's ' estimates , and for to-morrow 203 earswcio estimated. The receipts and the latter fact was the first thing to produce the changes of sentiment referred to. Cables quoted u fractional reduction In prices at Liverpool , but indicated a good demand to exist at the declines. Out of 531 cars to-day only twenty-nine graded into contract quality. This , of course , was only in continuation of the many such re turns recently , but It appears to striico the speculators with moro than usual force to day. The opening was weak at about yester day's closing prices , to a shade lower , and after selling to the lowest point yet touched the reaction was lively and the market was highest at the end. January , which opened at 3tJ/@a3 ; c , sold toiM fo where it closed , and May , after selling early at 80-tfe , bold up to 37jKc , where it stood at Iil5 p , in. There was moro business and it was more generally distributed than has lately been the case. The provision trade was somewhat on the quiet order. The bear clement made no open demonstration on the market. Outside orders - dors of all kinds were limited , and with the general run of operators the conservative Moling curtailed trading. Huslncts was un- 4er the average volume , and yet n stronger undertone existed and a portion of yester day's Bovoro break was recovered. In pork closings showed nn actual advance of 10@15c , in lard of 7 ! < f@10c , and in short ribs of 2 } Q5o. Cash lard sold falily at 33.10 , but nt the close was quoted nt * S.1. > , Urccn hams averaging it ) Ibs , changed hands nt Bc , and long and short clear tides , boxed , nt 7J c. The movement on cash meats was only moderate for this season. The receipts of hogs wcia again under speculation. Speculative ulative- interest in products was confined to January and May. The latter month ranged nt n premium ever January of 3. > @ 10o on pork , 5 ( < $7 > iC on lard , and l&c on short ribs. CHICAGO srooa CHICAGO , Deo. 18. [ Special Telegram to Tun Bun. ] CATTLI : The demand was rather more active tlan yesterday , and the general market showing was better. Yet values are S3 to SOa lower than last week and arc liable to remain so for the remainder of this week and perhaps until nftcr Now Yearn. Drcssuil beef operators nro Just now neither steady nor reliable- buyers , their branch of trade during these holiday times having to meet the reasonable demand for poultry , which Is always abundant ona cheap long about Christmas. There was a light Inquiry for heavy steers. The run of Toxiins was moder ate , tlio bulk of which sold at steady prices as compared with yesterday. The light run of Texans helped salesman to got better prices on their host cows and heifers , yet there was no substantial advance , and fcone is likely to follow until Toxaus stop coming , and that desirable incident Is not likely to tuho place for some time yot. Old cows and canning stock are about us low as at any time. Straggling lots of common rangers uio yet coming to mar ket. Huilness in the stacker and feeder line was again nulot.

S. fSpoolal Telegram to Tin : Ur.n.1 STOCKS The stock market opened tame at slight concessions from last night's closing prices The strength nnd animation shown yestcrdnv seemed to Imvo disappeared. London wns apparently taking advantage of yesterday's bulge In prices to get rid of surplus stock , nnd docs not seem to evince any disposition to take part in the bull market here for the present nl least. Uoom traders who had gene home with long stocks on their bunds last night were in the market ns sellers this morning , and the mar ket during the llrst hour gradually receded , although the losses were Insignificant , ex ccpt Richmond nnd West Point preferred , which lost ! ) , and Hock Island 1 per cent. Houses with Chicago connections that were nctivo buyers ot grangers yesterday were selling on all rallies , nnd it is freely talked that the mlvnnco of yesterday was rotten Up by prominent bears hero for the purpose of putting out u fresh line of shorts nt better prices. Philadelphia has been buying Head ing rather extensively for some days past , nnd shorts took fright nt tlm firmness of the general market , and went into cover , thu pushing the price trp on themselves. At noon the market wns dull and steady at a shade butter than the lowest prices. Tele graphic roininunlc.itlon with the west is seri ously interrupted to-day owing to the heavy Hoods in the Mohawk valley , and the pi o- cccdings of the nicotine nt Chicago nro very meager. It is generally thought , however , that the meeting will bo a harmonious one. nnd that intcs will bo advanced all around , taking ortcct January 1. Tlio market during the afternoon was dull nnd without special feature. Gianpcra were weak , while coalers were \\cll sustained. Triends of Lttckn- wnnnn say the pool in tlmt stock is .still intact , and no immediate liquidation need bo looked for , nnd as soon as the market shows signs of hardening the stock will sell above' 110.
