THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat Declines BHarly and Late, With a Spurt in the Middle. GOOD BUSINESS DONE IN CORN. Continuation of the Quict Feeling in Provisions—Cattle Again Rule Slow—Hogs Open Active —General Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUOE MARKETS, Onieaco, Dec. 20, ~[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—A superstition prevails among scalpers 1o tho wheat pit that Friday cannot puss without a break and they act on that theory with such unanimity that a break usually occurs. he decline “today was double barrelled.” It happened early and 1ato with & hard spurt in the middle, The tono most of the day was fir 1d the early loss was regamned, the market holding its own at the recovery until just at tho close, when it sold off sharply.- The strong bull csrd today wus the heavy shipment of future from the seaboard, New York and Baltimore cleared 105,000 packages of flour and the clearances of wheat and flour com- bined amounted to 473,077 bushels, Foreign advices ave of a firm tenor, Cables without excepion quote English and continental markets as being firm and n most cuses higher. French, Eoglish and German ad- vices are in accord on the wheat situation and the recent clearances give substautial color to tne news received from the other side. On this side it may be that the movement in the northwest continues to taper off and the win- ter whe voment does not increase. ‘I'he bears e {to create the impression that a large part of the flour that has gone out of the country was ‘‘consigued,” in which event it would press on the market on arrival and produce deprossion. They were strong and plausible in the opinion on this subject, but were not fortified with an array of fucts sufticiently forcible toestablish the correctness of their claim. The correspond- ence from spring wheat districts is practi- cally unanimous that rarely i the history of the uorth: tern milling business has there been less signing of the product abroad or better direct trade. News from the win- ter wheat section on the same point is con- flicing. On ono hand it 18 contended thut winter wheat mills are loaded to the guards with flour, and that they have been obliged to consign large quantities, Equally well informed parties claim with assurance that the winter wheat flour trade is on an_exceptionally healthy basis and that there is good demand for all that merchant mills can manufacture. The volume of business in futures wus above au avorage. The ground traveled over was narrow, but fluctuations were active at times. The market made three distiuet swings, declining g0 and reacting }ge, open- g at the top and closing at thé bottom, May started in at 8il, ranged down 2! advanced to and during the last twenty of thirty minute: recediug to the bottom and closing there at 2 I'herc was a v mber and January, the former opening at 8¢c,s0ld down to 771,c and closed at the in- January open ranged at ¢ and rested The 'net decline forthe day was |, @ The most conspic- uous and suspicious feature of the day's trading was the open bullishness of the bear leaders, Thore was 8 good business done in corn, with the baiance of speculative sentiment leaning to the bear side, except for Decem- berdelivery, The latter was easier in price, but the bears were afraid to attack it under the present pncertainty and fear of possible manipulation. Stocks of contract cor Jight and are not being added to mt current arrivals, There were 331 ceived today, but only V.wunlv~uvcll of them were inspected into No, 2 grade, There was quite an active trade in_ January and May, more especially fu the latter, which had 1o resist the attack of & vigorous bear on slaught, under which it declined to 32ijc notwithstanding the efforts of wany. friends it has around the present quotati The closings. wera: December, $23gc; January, 31 I,o~ May, 828c bid. ‘The oats market was neglected, with little doing iu futurcs.

Little of strength was shown at the opening. There Was no special activity except i Missouri Pacific, Suger Refineries, Kunsas & Texas and Coal stocks, and although the opening prices wore generully slight fractions higher thao last night's closing tigures, there was a drooping tendency in early dealings.
