THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Decline in Wheat Attributed to In- crease in Elevator Charges. A SENSATIONAL CORN STORY. A Moderate Business Recorded in ~-Provisions Take an Kasy Turn—Oattle and Hog Receipts. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaco, Dee. 24.~[Special Telegram to Tueliee, |—The local elevator charges were increased 13§ por cent a year yosterday afternoon, and although the change does not affect grain in store in Chicago now, the price was knocked off vearly lc a bushel today and the increased charges were ns- signed as the main use for the decline. I'ne wheat market was heavy during a great part of the session, though during the last hour there was soma recovery from inside prices and a better tone to speculation gen- erally. There was less buoyancy to cables and less gossip on the subject of the export business, present and prospective, than hus filled the air for the past week. The seaboard markets were, however, considerably firmer than Chicago. The receipts of winter wheat here continue of a fairly liberal value and the prosp aro that the movement will increase rather than decrease during the months of January and February, s country rouds settle, May wheat, which closed yesterday at 831(c, oner ed this morning at 823(@ssc, went down 4o, back to 82%(c, and then off to 821jc. Duting tho decline thore was o heavy selline out of long wheat around the “bottom, Some heavy lines of short wheat were covered and a renewed invest- ment demund spraug up, This served to steady the market, Offerings were so heavy that the market was some time start- ing up, however, but o headway was finally gained and the price got to 82 ‘I'he close 4c or S¢c under yester quotation. December ranged at and closed at 71%{c. _January ranged at and closed ut the outside. The shrinik- ake in early delivories wus i, Partridgo and his followers led in selling, and the scntiment of the pit was bearish. ‘'he market averaged heavy, There wus o cousiderable amount of trading in corn at the start, and it was characterized by extreme weakness. The pressure of new grain upon the market is being felt, to the detriment of rices, but much of this pressuro is more *unnfl\ll than real, though the actual facts would be sufticient of themselves to prevent anything hike a bullish fever to prevail. Scnsational stories, evidently emanating from interested parties, have been published to the effect that 70,000 car loads of corn are at present en route between here aud eastern markets, 'Uhe absurdity of this is apparent on its face when it is seen that the number of cars mentioned would represent about 40,000,000 bushels. As was remarked Dy an observant receiver in the corn pit, the market hus twice corncred itself from an actual scarcity of spot corn and the total visible supply is considerubly under 6,000,000 bushels. The weakness of today’s market ‘was, despite the foregoing, chiefly due to in- The inspection sheet excess of yesterday’s eatimates received here. The eastern mar- kots were all easier and the English mar- kets, influenced by the declining tendency here, were lower also, A delivering out of 100,000 bushels of corn on Decembor contracts yesterday afternoon weakened the cash market and all futures were in entire sympathy with it. 'I'ne closing prices were !4¢ lower on Decomber, J5c_lower on January and '{c to ¢ lower on May. The closing qotations were: Decomber 815, being & Jge recovery from the lowest pointi a¢c, and May closed at 821{c, sell: ers after selling at 32ice. The trading in oats~ ;mrwuk somewhat of the holiday charscter noted in tho other cereals, with only a moderate speculative busiuess recorded. In spite of the fact that receipts were materially less than anticiated there was no strength in tho market, prices sympathizing with corn and selling off about lfc. May sold early at 22i4c and later at 22%c, with the next month weak at 20!ge. Decomber was scarcely mentioned and = No. 2 r8gular con- tinued lifeless around 20%c, with cash lou selling exclusively by sample. The provision trade exhibited an ounlor turn, A decline in the price of hogs, wh are bemng marketed quite freely for the hol day weck, made the bear side grow a little more in general favor, Trading was too slow to develop any particular disposition to indulge in anything like hammering opera- uons, yet offerings were free and the product droppod to o lower level. Compared with yesterday, the closing for the day showed o net decline of 5¢ on Decemver lard, Jnmlury pork and January and_May short rivs, on December shiort ribs and Junuary and May lard, and 7’/c on May pork. Orders for cash products” were again undera fair average for the season, the weather being unfavorable for the shipment of green or partly cured wmeats. Cash old pork sold_at $8.60, new pork at £0.25, and lard at $5,5214. Nu\v York green shoulders e, and 16 pound green hams $7.20@7.25 for January delivery. The future dealings witnessed were confined mainly to May, which ranged. fron: $0.62!§ eerly down to £).05 for pork, from $6. 03 down to #4.5714@4.90 for shortribs. The closing sales all arouna were made at the lowest prices oF rungo touched, For January, porlc closed at 5,121, lard at §5.85 and short ribs at$4.05. Decomber property was quiet, CHI1CAGO LIVE STOOK. Cnicaao, Dec. 24.—[Special Telegram to Tne Ber.]—-CArTLE—Business was ooly moderately active, with a slight upturn on & few fair to good stecrs wanted for shipment. Dres cd beef operators were indifferent, their firms giving orders to go slow, as an inter- ruption of Christmas holiday, occurring as it does in the middle of the week, is likely to nterferc more or less with business, The light run of Texans for the pust two davs has hulged to stimulate prices on fair to gooa native butchers’ stock, There were no Tex- aus in sight today, Thoe stocker and feeder trade remains quiet.

Ligut sorts sold lIrEIy ut §3.55 at the opening but clgsed weak at §3.50 and per- haps lower, The Weather is more hike April than December—warm showers and murky atmosphere, just the weather to spoil fresh dressed meat in short order, Packers not supplied with ice are outof the market alto- gether, New Yors, Dee. 24.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee. Sr100k8 — The stock market opened as expected, with no display of activ- ity and no material change in values, There was an extremely small attendance upon the floor and au intense dulluess and a firm tone were the general features of the trad- ing. The opening was steady, though Bur- Jington was down 3¢ per cent and some others smaller fractions, but a firm tone ap- peared immediately and prices rose all over the list. Missouri Pacific and Sugar Refin- eries were as usual tho most active stocks, but the movewment in neither was of special lmportance, Cotton Oil certificates showing the most strength, with a riso of # per cent, There was little of importance even during the hour to 13 o'clock. Sugar trusts after touching 50% dropped to 5535 Missouri Pacific, another firm stock early, went off from 73% to 713, while Grangers were dull and steady. Union Pacific and ‘Western Union each lost abous 3¢ on light business. Coal stocks were bui litule dis- turbed. The day proved a very light one in stocks with sales of only 54,080 shares. On the whole the list closed quite firm with nearly all standard stocks a shade higher. Chicago Gas closed at 43, Sugar Trusts at 501§, Lake Shorowas 1§ higher, at 108k, Pacific Mail went to 87 after 12 o'clock and olosed at 361{, Burlington recoverad the 3§ per cont loss early, and Northwestern and Rock Island each made !{ gain at the close. Union Pacific and Western Union each re- covered slightly. Coal stocks were steady Bonds wore in excellent demand. The be- liof that Gould will help stocks up is held by the trade. Money ruled at 6 to 10 per cent, with last boan at 6. ‘Thero is still some ap- prehension of tight money for the closing of tho year.
