THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Was Much Quieter Than ‘Was Generally Anticipated. BEARS ARE NOT SO RAMPANT. Corn Tame and Prices Ruling Easier —Oats Opened Moderately Active and Declining—Provisions Somewhat Better. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cricaco, Dec. 27.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—The wheat market was much quieter to-day than was generally antici pated, and there was at no time any serious pressure to sell-that is, nothing like yester- day A quiet can among the best posted people in trade confirmed the theory that a very large percentage ot the high priced long wheat nad been dumped on yes- terday's slump, and that there was no rea- #0n 0 look for another deluge around the current range of prices. The country is still full of bears, and the board of trade is their headquarters, but the more tive among the late advocates of lower prices are looking with more friendly eyes at the market. They think that values may possi bly settle some further, but they are not the rampant bears they were when May was quoted above $1.10. When cash wheat crossed the dollar mark on the down turn they began to modify their views very ma- terially. The selling out of a considerable quaotity of wheat that could not be disposed of yesterday on the slump, caused a weak opeming and the price marked down from £1.03 at the start to $1.021¢. At that point there was good buying and the market rallied 5. A period of quietness fol- lowed, with the price close to #1.03. The next move was a bulge to#104, then the price was jerked backed to §1 That proved 1 be the bottom on the sccond break, and under the influence of good buying, wheat crowdad up to $1.03%. It got rather tame again_and dropped to 81.03%, but about 12 o'clock it again became firm, and a little Jater set off at a vapid pace from §1.03%7, and didn't stop until $1.04% was reached. Here there pause and a little set back to $1.0414, followed by a further spurt to $1.041¢ (@1.04% emed o be the extent of its power of recovery for the day. breathing spell was a brief one, though, another wave of enthusiasm took May to $1.05% and left it at $1,05. December rested at $ige, 4o, and July at y was about pared with yesterday's close. Trade in'other months than May was very small. ‘Lhe firm- ness in the market and the tendency of prices to advance was attributed for the first couple of hours to th © on the part of the shorts to fill their contracts, The es- sence of popular opinion was that nearly all the buying was by the shorts. Later on'th view of the situation v ified. The depression that upon as certain to follow fr the shorts, unaccompanied b buying, did not come, Last had it that Hutchinson quit ‘gunning” for wheat until he fot the price of May down to $1.00. That was the figure to which the bear army had its hopeful eyes dirceted. Little doubt was felt by most of the soldiers under that flag that prices would et the It scems, however, that other buyers besides the shorts were work, and auring the last hour of the tradiny session it was stated with confidence that Fairbank, Cudaby, 1 Ream and Baker had been heavy bu, The suspicion of the scalpers was aroused by the purchases by Roche, blom, Hamill and others, who took deal of property off - the market whaever there was of pressure. Bodman, Logan, Boyd, McCormick . Jones, Kennett & Hopkins, Baxter, and in fact most of omumission houscs, absorbed a large amount of wheat. Bloom, 100, was mentioned as a steady buyer in an open way. These were the local features that contributed to the strength of the mar- ket. Foreign news was scarce, and what came was_conflicting. Russian wheat was quoted as unrcliable, and large Indian ship- ments were reported. On the other hand, the amount on passage was shown to be d o ing. One authority made the decre; 50,000 bushels, and the board's cor respondent put it at 520,000 bushels, New York advised that there was good buying of May for the leading exporting houses and that it was for the foreign ac- count, Nothing in the shipping way was definitely reported, but as prices at tide- water are down to a shipping basis, a re- vival in the export trade is looked for. This was one of the principal strengthening fa tors in the situation to-day, The news from the northwest was all bullish, so movement of grain went, and crop obser- vers are ching the winter wheat flelds anxiously. A tame corn market would fitly de the day's business. Prices ruled there was wot much doing and outside ders were far from plentiful. The demn from shippers was fair, but prices are parently not low enough to tempt the 1 ing of ‘vessels yet. There 1s a capaci 5,206,000 bushels laid up here, and the own- ers aro asking 4 cents 0 Buffalo, including storage, until navigation opens in ‘the At Liverpool 000 bushels of A corn was ree in the past week. amount on oc ssago decreased 240,000 bushels during the,weck. There continues to be a moderate export business, but it makes but a small hole in the year's crop. The improvement in the weather removed the cause of yesterday's comparative firm- ness, with a résulting preponderance of sel- ling pressure, which kept the murket heavy throughout the greater part of the session. ‘The prices at the close were about }go lower than yesterday. Oats were moderately active during the early part of the day, with May declining 8¢, touching 28%e, and recovering in & de- groo, later, | Trading was not heayy in tho aggrogate, and was confined chiefly to the local account. It was velieved that some long oats came out in line with the general weakness prevailing n_the other cercals, though 1o selling orders on country account were visible. There was light trading in February at about 3¢ below May, with Jan- uary at 3@ 'se and Decomber neglected. No. 2 oats in store were !¢ lower at 25¢, with sales largely by sample. In provisions there was a little reaction from yesterday's depression, There was no particu activity in any line of trade, but as the old bear crowd showed no disposition to over-burden the market with offerings, a stronger feeling developed. In all depart- ments increased confidence was manifested, and for pork the closing showed an advance for the day of b@ilge and for short ribs of 2ig@be.

As compared with the same days of last week (Thursday and Friday) there is a big ad- vance, anywhere from 25¢ to 40¢, but every- body is predicting a big break for next week. 88 the wires were loaded this morning, call- ing for cattle from all divections. The ad- vance, as was the decline recently, is on tho ordinary run of steers that average 1130 to 1850 1bs, and on good cows and heifers. The light run of Texans this week so far is the main cause of the strength in cow stock, As there is no particular improvement in the gemand for big heavy cattle they are not keeping up with the advance on the mediums and low gra There is litile or no lifo in the stocker and feeder trude.

EW Yonx, Dec [Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]-Srocks—The stock market this morning opened moderately active and frregulart the first prices showing losses of @3 per cent. The London market did not respond to our advances as was anticipated, and instead of their sending large buying orders this morning, they selling their specialties. This took the enthusiasm out of a great many of the smaller bulls, and they immediately started to unload, and a decline of g3 per cent followed. Cotton & was exceptionally weak and declined 31 per cent. The room traders were hammering this stock on the reported sales of long stock by a prominent Chicago operator. The port, however, was subsequently denied and a slight = took place, Stocks were more plentiful in the loan crowd this morn- ing, and money was loaning at a higher rate. Altogether there was not much- confidence expressed in the higher prices for the im- mediate future. A leading official of one of the la coul companies was quoted as sayin that the coal trade was not in a very satisfactory condition. The unscasonable weather has curtailed the demand, and wholesale dealers have been cutting prices indiscriminately. Boston houses weto buyers of Union Pacific, and that stock advanced fractionally in the face the gencral decline. London was reported as buying St. Paul preferred quite liverally. The dircctors of the New York Central an- nounced that it would be their policy to re- turn to the 5 per cent basis nest year. Lake Shore declared an extra dividend of 1 per making 3 per cent in all. This stimu- lated trading in those stocks somewhat, but strength displayea, though r 1ed all over the list, and at noon the market was quiet to dull, though firm at the close at opening figures. The market ruled quict during the afternoon. Near the close money became active, and loaned at as high as 7 per cent. The com- mission houses are still advising purchasers on the reaction.
