CHICAGO. Dec. 3. The wheat , corn nnd
oats markets were all well today. The two
latter made record breaking low pi Ices and
wheat lost Tic per bu. An Important bus
iness was done In wheat for shipment , bui
nothing was known of It while the session
was progressing. After the close , however
It wns made known that 230,000 bu. of No
2 red winter hud been sold at May price *
KJIIIO No. 3 spring at Hfco over December
nnd No. 1 northern and No. 2 spring In
quantity KUiIlclcnl lo bring up the total to
400f ' bu. Cash wheat In Toledo closed a
S-Hc over Chicago December and Detroit
O'ic ' over. lied winter will POOH be n , very
fancy article. The opening prices for May
were from fil'Sc ' down to Cl'.ic ' , very little
cf It realizing the higher quotation , nm
the bulk of the first ofteilngs were let go
at the lower quotations. Uefore the Urad-
streel't ) ptntcmcnt was received the price
had declined to CQtie. Following Its ic-
cclpt , however , It rallied to from W > io to
CO'jdc , but maintained that advance only a
very fhort time before rolling down again
to COVic. No. 2 red winter wan generally
nt May price In Blore , nnd some No. 3 spring
brought Hie over December. The May
future , however , got down to C0jc , , nnd
closed at CO'.ic. , ,
Corn opened at from 29o to 29Hf. and de
clined with many Flight Intermediate ral
lies to 2Sc , closing at that pilce bid. 'Ihe

rumliir declined to SflUc , and January to
Krjt ? . Closing prlccr. for tlioco were 25'J4e '
and from 25ic to SJTic respectively.
O.itM welo the best market on the floor.
After the prlci > had fallen oft from W&c to
20c , which IH the lowest price of the present
crop mid was the sellers' prlcp , the tide
turned. HIiortH bid eagerly for stuff and
took all that could be obtained. Offerings
were gradually consumed , and at the llnlsh
20c was still blil for both lawe and small
lots. December opened at ITViC , Kold to
lfiT e. and closed * , c lower than yesterday
nt the low price.
Hog prodtictH firmer , as the hoc recelptH
wore not as large us expected. May park

CATTLE In the cattle division there was
n fair run today , the receipts bslnic slightly
In excess of yesterday. In regard to kind
nnd quality , there \vas not much change
noticeable. Quite n good many half-fat
native cattle were on sale , but nothing
prime. The market opened quiet , with
the buyers holding off. The reports from
Chicago Indicated a good run and dull
market , and buyers seemed to feel that
prices would be lower there before the
close , hence they were In no hurry to fill
their orders. Some cattle that Ju't hap
pened tn hit their fancy cold In the morn
ing at about yesterday prices , but the trade
dragged nlong all the morning nnd rlosed
weak and lower. In spite of the dullness
of the market about cverythlnc : was sold.
Cows and heifers were In liberal supply ,
there being about twenty to twenty-live
loads on sale. The market was reasonably
active at about steady prices , and the offer
ings were nil taken In uood season.
In the Ftockcr and feeder department
there was very' little upon which to bulM
n market. There were two or three load
of pretty good Nebraskns that sold at $ .1.30
nnd a bunch of rather commonlsh westerns
The market could safely be quoted firm

HOGS The moderate recetJt { yestcrdny were
followed Liy u liberal run today , 1mt none IOD
largo tn supply the demand. The 'local packers
wanted to liuy nnd the buyers had liberal oiders.
Thi ndvlces from the east were fnvomhlo nnd
the market hero opened fully 5c higher than
yesterday's early market. The early bids weio
mostly nt 13.40 for everything , nnd Ihe bulk of
tinhSKS sold at that price. The competition be
tween the buyers was iiulte nctlve nnd the ten
dency wns to crowd prices upwnid , nnd later
aultu n Bond ninny of Ihe better loadB sold nt
J3.45. or BiilOc higher than yesterday. The mar
ket was ncllve at the advance and the pens were
clcnred at nn early hour.
As frequently happens al DUB season of the
year IIORH are selling at a very narrow range of
prices. The principal reason for the oiie-prlec
markets that have prevailed of late Is that the
shipping demand at all market points Is llRhl.
The packers nre buying their IIOKH mixed nnd
there Is not the wide rnnge In prices that usually
exists when shippers are selecting the hext of
the nnVrlnics. As a general thing the shipping
trade Is small at this time of ll.io y ir , but
operntora as a rule look for some revival after
the coming of the new year. Representative
