THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS T A Weaker Feeling Doveloped in the ‘Wheat Pit. NEWS FAR FROM S:NSATIONAL. A Local Bearish Sentiment—An Fecling in Corn-Oats airly Active—More Interest In Provisions, Easer CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Ciicaao, Dec. 5, ~[Special Telegra Tue Bee,|—~Wheat madea show of firm- ness during the greater part of the day, but the last hour of the trading witnessed an active development of a weaker fecling and the closing quotations received a shrinkage of % @!<cas compared with yesterdiy. The news was far from sensational in its chara ter, but it was of @ sort to feed the predis- position to dishoartoninent ou the part of the bolders and to produce lower markets, The boara’s cables reflected a rather easier fool- ing abroad, though Beerbohm quoted Loundon ‘‘firm, with buyers asking more money for their wheat.” News York Baltimore and some of the western winter wheat markets exhibited considerable more firmness and strengen than Chicago, but the northwest was weak on the exhibit of re- ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth. They are falling off, but with not sufficient rapidity to come up to expectations. The local senti- ment was very bearish;all the ola straw was threshed over and all discouraging features of gthe market were obtruded conspicuonsly The old bears were in the saddle grand “round up” atthe end it decided that the Jones-Ream party bhad beea a big factor to the dechne. Speculative offerings were certainly heavier thun they have been for some time and the bearisn confidence sooms to have been decidedly stiffened us a rosult of the failure of the markets to bull, May wheat opened at Sdc, ranged for a long while ut 837¢@$4'gc with'a tendency to drag around S83¢@s4.. " Toward the middle of the session the price worked off a trifle firmer up ard again settled, this time rather sharply and with a largely increased volume of busi ness pussing. Ll price got down to 83ge which point was touched soveral times thore- after. The close was S3l¢@S3%c. De- cember opened at 0L @ib4e, workea down to 78% following tne fluctua- tious in May and closed at T8%c. Junuary opened at 80c, ranged at 80'5@7 and closed at 793¢ The big end of the trauce was done the last half of the session, There was an easier feeling in the corn market and only a moderate amount of busi- ness was transacted. Heavy deiiveries of 8pOL COrn 0N the previous Afternoon was one cause of the decline in near futures. The damp weather which was formerly the rea- son for the firmness, was disregarded in to- day’s overations, the cause for which was tha deliveries above mentioned which gave rise to the opinion that there was no present intention of renewing the last month’s manipulative tactics. The pro- portion of No. 2 daily receipts is steadily diminishing as deliveries from the new crop increase and with a good article of shipping corn procurable at < which is about the present price of No. #, there is very little call for No. 2. Now that lak2 nuviva- tion 18 practically over rail shipments will doubtless consist largely of lower grades and the No. 2 will for tho greater part go to swell the elevator stocks. December was pressed for sale at the opening but found plenty of buyers on the first deeline and after sclling at 81'ge improved to 81%.c, but again _ became ~ weak and declined to 30%c and reacted again to dle, which was bid at the close. January ciosed at 807¢c, and May at 331{@133%c. Outs were fairly active and firmer early with some transactions at a Il advance, but later in the day some of the ‘recent buy- ers turned sellers and through a lack of support the carly improvement was fully lost, Trading was local in character and confined within the !¢ range, May receiv- ing tho greatest attention.” Although 23c ‘wis touched, many selling orders at that point could not be executed. No. 2 to go to store sold early at 20%c, closing at 201, No. 3 white onts for May sold at 24% @245c. In provisions there was a little more inter- est shown, Outsiders fuiled to increase their trading to any material extent, but a stronger fecling developed a decided disposi- tion upon the part of tha shorts to cover their contracts, Purchases of pork and short ribs particularly wade for that pur- pose were quite considerable, and, in fact, Proved to be the featuro of the day's busi ness, Hutchinson was the lxlrxtu indi- vidual seller of future property ers were again sparing with their offerings. Compared with yesterday's closings the market showed an advance of 10c on Decem- ber pork, 5c on January and May pork and December and May siort ribs, and 2ize on 'l{‘ewmbl.r and Januery lard and May short 1bs. CHICAGO VE STOOK. Cmioaao, Dec. 5.—[Special Telezram Tne Ber.|—Carrie—There was little or nothing mew n the trade. Best steers sold easy aud atabout steady prices and sales- men who had lean, plain or common stock had 3o wait until buyers got through looking over the best, and then the poorest of the above nawed had to be sold for what sales- men could got, not by any means the price asked. ‘There were about 3,000 Texans on the market, the bulic seiling about the same us heretofore. Native butchers’' stock was slow and prices weak. Business in the stocker and teeder line waus quiet, the supply light and the demand light.

HoaGs—HBusiness was again brisk with little or no margin in values as compared with yesterday, A few carly sales showed a light advance, but later on hogs were freely “of- fered at yesterday's pricos, Packers paid the wide range of 365375, largely and shippers $3.70@: sorts made #.30@5.15 for bulk, o few ofl style and commou ut #3.0(@3,05. to Leeves, Naw Yorg, Dac, 5.—|Spdcial Tolegram to Tas Bee. |—Sroc 'here was & more set- tled feeliug in stocks this morbing, The outcome of all ihe 1irregularity in prices of late will probably be a dull market the rest of tho year. The most aggressive operators on both sides concede this at present. The bears say to sell on rallies. The bulls say to buy on breaks. This means very conserva- tive action awong professionals and little or no trading by the public for the present. Yusterday’'s operations revealed little of what may be expected, There was no special reason for an advance in Chicago Gas except the action of shorts an the face of the statement that a dividend will be paid. Orders from the west are against gas. Chi- cago orders were selling ones in St. Paul and Rock Island. The action of the bears s against anthricite prop- erties. This is more than balanced by the velief that an Eoglish syndicate 1s back of the pool in this property. At the opening today London was again a buyer of Keading and Missouri Pacific. While there was for a time a fecling of weakness, with activity came @ firmer tone. First prices. as compared with last eveniug's figures, were rather irregular, though the declines were in a majority, Chavges, however, were gen- erally for slight fractions only, tending in a fow casos % per cent either way. Early de- clines were confined to small fractions every case except New England, which yielded 1 per cent to 42 The chauge w the temper of speculation was sharp and all the early losses were recovered, with some- thing in addition, Missouri Pacific being the ot prominent in the advauce with @ gain followed by Denver, New England was sluggish stock 1 the clunges, while Lirie and Reading showed marked strength in the last pary of the hour, rising 11 to 671, New Kngland, Missouri Pacitic, Reading, Lackawanna, Union Pa- | cifie, St. Paul and Sugar Rofineries were the | leading stocks. 13efore noon Northern Pa- aifie preferred yielded 1f to 7 Missouri Pacitic dropped back to 61 and Union cific to 6317, while trust stocks wore steady. There was a very favorable turn for the bulls in stocks in the last hour. There was an easier feeling for money and a good rally took place. Sugar went up to 066%¢ { per cent advance at the close. Coal stocks picked up protty well, Reading shoy 1 per cent gaiu and Lackawanna 3 gain the day Sngland contiuued weak.
