CHICAGO , Dec. B. Liberal selling and
discouraging foreign markets weakened
wheat today , May closing Ho lower. May
corn nnd oats closed unchanged nnd pro
visions declined moderately. There were
still some fog ends of long wheat for gale
when the market opened. They came out
of many hands nnd were not wanted.ex
cept nt a reduction of ttc from yesterday s
close. The Liverpool market was reported
ns opening from ' ,4 < 1 to Id lower. Mlnne-
npolls nnd Duluth receipts were COS cars ,
compared with only 3GS cars on the corre-
upending day last year. Another considera
tion of n weakening character wns the
government report on the amount of wheat
fed to stock by farmers from harvest to
December 1. which it was ascertained
would be Issued from Washington nt 4 p.
m. H wns claimed to be ascertained that
the amount so fed wns 40,000.000 bu. New
York wired that foreigners were selling
porno wheat at the opening there and ex
porters there anil nt St. Louis wired that
there was reduction on yesterday's bids
for exportation of from Ic to Zo per bu. Ar
gentine wns selling July wheat in Now
York. The opening price for May was from
COttc to CO hC , compared with from 60V4c. to
C0o nt the close yesterday. It kept around
the opening1 figures for about Ilfteen
minutes , after which buying orders gradu
ally worked prices up nguln until about
11:30 : a. m. Co-He wns realized for two or
three GOX-bu. ) lots. The southwest sent buy
ing orders. New York Increased Its ex
port business of the day before to sev
enty boat loads taken there and sixty-three
nt out ports. The closing cables reported
n great advance at Uerlin , amounting to
the equivalent of l',4c per bu. , but the
French nnd Kngllsh markets' wern easier.
New York sent selling orders on their in
sight Into the weakening foreign feeling.
Probably for every foreign order for 10,000
bu. received there New York Hold 100,000 bu.
here. The market became very weak on
that sellingnnd twenty minutes from the
close the price was down to 59T4c. It rallied
slightly , closing nt CO'.Jo. '
The receipts of corn were even smaller
than the small estimate yesterday. Not
withstanding the small receipts , the market
opened off Ho In sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat nt the same time , lie-
celvcrs nnd elevator men were the sellers
nnd the market continued to sag until the
estimate for tomorrow's receipts wns given
nt only 200 cars. From that time , the price
had an advancing tendency , shorts being
the buyers , until the extreme closing weak
ness of wheat Inllucnced some additional
selling. The opening for May wns 4S'/4c , and
It sold at 49-litC before It commenced to retrace -
trace Its steps. It touched COo nnd closed at
49c.
A very llltlo business wns transacted In
oats. Fluctuations were confined In a nar
row range nnd entirely In sympathy with
the movements of corn. May started at
from 32'ic to 32c , sold at 32 Ac to S' ic ,
closing at 32Hc.
Hog receipts numbering 52.000 head ,
agnlnst estimated yesterday of 41,010 head ,
gave the provision market a weak send off
and the limpness of the wheat mm ket kept
the tone of the provision market heavy
during the entire session. The declines In
tlio speculative articles since yesterday nre :
January pork , 2Vic ; May , 5c ; lard , 2',4c In
January and Gc In May , and Gc In both
January nnd May ribs.

NEW YORK , Dec. 5. Active speculatlo
on the Stock exchange today was confine
to Sugar- , Chicago Gas and the
shares. Outside of these securities th
transactions did not reach 40,000 shares , an
of the total sales of the day nearly tw <
thirds were of Sugar , 170,000 shares of whlc
changed hands , being about the heavlci
sales of any single stock on the exchum ;
In ono day. An opportunity was affordc
for this very lively trading by the uncei
talnty which prevailed up to the close (
00 business as to the dividend. The. stock roi
and fell as the operators therein vlcwc
the situation , except that a reaction wi
brought about nt one period of the day I
the receipt of advices from Wnshlngtc
that Senator Quay Introduced a bill to tnl
off the differential duty on sugar. Tl
controlling inlluencc , however , wns the prol
able action of the directors of the compan
who went into session shortly after 1 o clot
and did not announce their decision (1
clarlng the regular dividends on both roil
mon and preferred stocks until after tl
close of business. The directors lay strei
on thu fact that the dividends arc to be pa >
out of the Turnings of the company ma <
previous to September 1 of the current yea
and they take occasion to announce tin
they will make a public statement after
o'clock tomorrow afternoon on the effect
the tariff upon the sugar refilling Interest
In view of this announcement there
likely to b a. very active trading In tl
stock tomorrow. It being a magnlllce
"gamble" as to what effect the directoi
pronunclnmento may have on the stock. Tl
course of the shares today was even mo
erratic than usual. An advance of 2 p
cent was made in the first flftcon iv iiutc
which was quickly followed by a decline
1 per cent , and n prompt rise of 214 P
cent , to SS j , which figure was reached nbo
noon , After midday u loss of 1'i per ce :
was made , the gain being subsequently lei
d , In the late dealings , when the Impi-ensli
grew strong that the regular dlviden
would bo declared , an ndvnnce to 89 w
30 effected , the closing sale being within
per cent of the high point of the duy ai
ht 3 % per cent above the final transaction
yesterday. The preferred stock gained ]

WASHINGTON , Dec. 5. The returns from the
correspondents of the statistical division of the
Department of Agriculture relative to th <
amounts of wheat fed to stock , estimate the
quantity already fed , that Is to say up to Oc'
tober 30 , nt 46,030,000 bu. , and the estimated
amount to be fed 29,273,000 bu. , making a tota
of 75,303,000 bu. These figures on wheat fecdlnt
ore merely the meager estimates from thiw !
states wherein correspondents have complied will
tli ? request of the department nnd must not bi
taken n anything more than an attempt of np
proxlmntlon of the total feeding of wheat fron
the present supply. The severity nnd length o
tha winter will necessarily Inlluence the Una

Dec. 5.
Cattle and sheep fec'c'lpts ' were decidedly
moderate today , buti there was n good run
of hogs. The three days' cattle receipts ,
about 8,000 head , full nearly 700 short of
last week , but there has been nn Increase
of 6,000 hogs and 1,000 sheep.
The cattle market was llrm. Offerings
Included nothing choice , but with nn active
demand from both dressed beef men nnd
shippers buyers could not afford to be very
captious , nnd anything In the beef steer
line with a fair degree of flesh and quality
found a ready purchaser at a good , stiff
price. Heavy cattle that were rough and
common , thin , light stock , met with n
very Indifferent demand and sold slowly ,
but nt prices that averaged up about steady
with yesterday. The tone to the trade was
rather flrm than otherwise nnd nn early
clearance wns made.
The market for cow stuff was In very
good shape. Offerings did not exceed thirty
loads , and local killers all appeared to be
wanting them. Trade ruled active and
prices flrm to n shade higher than Tues
day on fair to good stock. On the common
and canning stuff the market was slow and
prices barely steady. There was a belter
demand and a decidedly stronger market
for fair to good venl calves. Hulls , oxen
and stags , when fat , sold freely at n shade
higher prices , but thin und rough stock
showed no Improvement.
The stacker nnd feeder market wns active
and stronger on fair to good stock , without
much regard to weight , but slow and lower
on poor stock cattle. Slop feeders were
good buyers and yard traders displayed
considerable activity , but the demand from
the country was somewhat slack , repre
