CORN WAS AS DULL AS USUAL OF LATE IniMilry HoKimthiK 'Hint Article forte to Unto Hntlri-ly DU- CHICAGO , Dec. 12. Tlic ppectllntlvc mar kets were nil rntlicr dull today and cxcspt In provisions prices closed a trifle lower. The latter Improved somewhat on buying , which wns nccrlbed to the packer * . The news concerning whcnt was In ths main bullish. The domnnd here for ennh wheat was Booil. both for rail shipment to wlntei wheat points mid for prliiB wheat to KO to store. The pressure to sell wheat fhort was not quite so pronounced ns It wns yesterday afternoon. The Cincinnati Price Current , remarking upon the condition of the winter whcnt plant , snld that the weather wag somewhat trying and inatij sections were lacking In pnow protection Minneapolis nnd pulutli Rot iCD car loads leas wheat than on thu corresponding daj of the week before. The laku shipments appeared to be over for the season ! today's outKoltiR nil went by rnll , and such was the case also regarding the shipments pouted yesterday and on the dny before. For the three days the quantity shipped by rail umountti to 2 i,00i bu. , and on the similar thrie dnyH of the previous year the quan tity shipped wns only IG.OuO bu. The demand for wheat at Minneapolis , both by millers nnd F.lilppcrn , was said to bo surprisingly Kocul , nnd San I'mnelcco wired that owliiK to the competition between millers and shipper ? there the pi leu wns advanced 3c per cental. Three cnrRucs , paid a ills- imlrh from there , were taken for Australia uml one for Capetown , The dispatch was onu of the reasons for the advance here of Uu In the llrst hour. May opened here nt frum Glc to lil 1-lCc , but dropiicd later to We. and closed at thut. Thu corn market preserved Its consistency by behiK u dull nnd heavy toned as It has been for no many days' . Speculative Inquiry reBardlnj- the article appears to have almost entirely disappeared. Trices remained almost stationary , and closed un changed from last night , or n shade lower. There wns n fairly active market for outs , but business ) wns considerably duller than yesterday. ' A Rood demand existed for May nt IS ic from big shorts , and snlcs were rendlly brought about when sellers offered nt that price. The market was pllKhtly tinner early , but at the close Just steady on futures. December sold at l7'/4c , which Is % c up fiom yesterday , apparently a natural narrowing of the difference around the middle of the month. I'rovlHlons were llrmer and appeared to- bo receiving the support of the packers. The result of the dny'B trading was an advance of isWo In January nnd 5c In Mny Sork , 2',4c In January lard , and Z'c each In nnuary nnd Slay ribs.

There wa a pjlnt of difference , however , In the fnct thn the volume of business was not so exclusively In the Industrials as herotofoie. The speculallv movement was Interesting and on a diversity o Influences Itnltlmjrc & Ohio made a further extreme tremo break of 3 ? per cent to 47 nnd closed nt i rally of 1 per cent. The steady downwnri course of this stock has aroused considerable np prehension on Ihe part of the security holders especially ns II has been allended by a vnrlets of peislstent bear rumors Insinuating mlsmnn fUrcmcnt , financial embarrassment and over-cap Utilization of branch lines. Otllclnls of the com pony make sweeping denials of the rumors. An other Interesting development of nn encouraging character wns the resumption of dividends on the prefened stock of the Denver & Rio Grande mllroad during nn Interval of over two joara The nous that the presidents uf the anthracite cool companies had lecognlzeil the absurdity o mining nt least double the quantity of cot , salable at profitable rates nnd had lecommendei a 60 per cent resitItllon of the output had ft logical KOOI effect on the market.

Consolidated Gas , after some Irregularity of movement , closed nt the best of the day nnd nt a gain of 2 i per cent. Atten tion has Iwen elsewhere called to the downwnri movement In llnltlmnie * Ohio. The denial of the stories by President Mayer failed to cause more than a partial recovery. The olllclal nn nouncement of the declaration of the 1 per cen dividend on Denver & Rio Grande preferred was reflected In ft gain of nbout 1 per cent In the stock In the final dealings.
