L%, 1880, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. An Unusually Dull and Spiritiess Day in the Wheat Pit. CORN FORCED TO THE BOTTOM. Oats Quict But Fully Steady to Firm —Provision ¥ 88 Spase modic and Without Feature, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaco, Dec. 80.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bre.|—Tho wheat market inclines to bid adieu to the old year in a spiriticss man- ner. Dakota blizzards, which do not mater- Ialize in the neighborhood of this health re- s0rt, are powerless to blow up the slumber- ing embers of spoculation, Trade today was largely confined to scalping essays of local talent, The influence of news from the outside of happier conditions might have in- duced more active trading, but an impend- ing holiday, and the after effects of one just past, were not to be overcomo by anything less than a sensation and nothing of the sort cropped up today. The opening wasa slight improvement upon Saturday's closing fig- ures, the first quotation being $23{@s23c and it sold at 82%c and also K2l¢e at about the same time. The light export clearances of Saturday caused some weakness later, and a gradual decline to )¢ 1ok place, followed by an ad- , and then, by lazy upand down wovement between the latter figure and 82,c, closing about midway at The corn market was weak, vor, and without support from any quarter. colder and clearer weather prevailing throughout the western country was re- sponsible for a gooa deal of the weakuess, but the pressure of heavy receipts was also a depressing feature, and when the announce- ment of 2,242,000 bushels increase to the visi- ble su was made the market was forced to the lowest point, February and May were tolerably well supported, but December and January were without friends. December closed at 301c, which is 1{c under Satur- day’s closing figures. January lost 3¢, Feb- ruary less than Jgo. ‘Lhe clos- ing quotations were ber 801{c, Jun- uary 20%{c, February 205 cand May 3 Onts were quict but fully steady to firm. The slight improvement indicated was not #0 much because of any special demand as it was owing to a lack of pressure to sell. There was at the same time & mild inquiry for account of January shorts, and that month sold ' @!yc higher, while May was in fair request at 22@22'gc. December prom- ises to go out entirely d void of interest, as it 18 scarcely named, and No. 2 in store is quotable at 2020 ke. Trading was contined to samples, ‘Tho nioderate increase in tho 4 Visible supply attracted no comment, with posted receip! aturday rather large. In the provision trade there was no par- ticular stir. Outsiders extended to the market little or no attention, while with flour traders business was spasmodic and without feature. Armour bought early some lard and short ribs, and during the day Cudahy and Hutchinson sold short ribs in a moderate manner. The latter also disposed of a little pork. The day’s trading, how had no warked significance; still, the ing averaged stronger than at the close of last week, and prices generally showed a small improvement. January and May pork, May lard and Jz2nuary short ribs rested for the day ut an advan January lard anged. De- cember preduct _was generally stronger, pork closing at $5.50, lard ot $5.50 and short “ribs at For cash delivery lard sold at short ribs §i. i and 10-pound ~ green shouiders ‘at Sixteen pound g hams were enguged for January delivery at $7.20@7.2214.

Cr1cAGO, Dee. 80.—[Spocial * Telegram to Tur BeE. ]—CArTLE-~The demand was fair and prices a shade firmer on about every- thing, good, common or otherwise, Some salesmen that had light, thinnish steers found some difticulty in getting buyers up to the mark they wanted for that class of stocl, but taken altogethier the market was in better shape for sclling than at the close last week. But few Texans were ingight, hence the quick demand for native butchers’ stock, fat cows and heifers selling sub- stantially higher. As1s usual on Monday, busivess in the stocker and feeder line was light and prices nominal.

The bulk of the lhlmlln;( grwes cost §3.75, and light sorts sold uni- ormly at §3.70, or 10¢ bigher than on Sat- urday. , 8 503 cows, $2.00 — FINANCIAL. Nrw Yonrk. Dec. 30.—|Special Telegram to Tus Bee. |—Srocks—The action of tho mar- ket on Saturday wos a surprise to the trade, and prought mauy operators back from their holiday pleasures to protect their interests, If the list was demoralized and stocks pressed down from 1to 2 points on half a duy when the market was supposed to be dull and neglected, what may not be in store for the close of the year! The same condi- tions existed this morning, At the opening, pressure to sell was very heavy, first vrices being goucrally from i to 1 per cent lower, Louisville & Nashville, Erie and Jersey Central stowed the heaviest declines. At couces- sions, however, the market met with the most pronounced support, and further de- clines in most of tho list wore Insigniticant, while many stocks recovered fractionally in early dealings, Louisville & Nashville and grangors eing especally conspicuous, though ABurlington was an exception, with a loss of 3 ver cent. Reaaing, Missouri Pacific und Denver, Texas & Fort Worth were the weak voints in the market, and the first named dropped 13 per cent to 30 and the other two 1 per cent each to 60 and 82% respectively. New Eugland also showed considerable weakuess on light business, whilo trusts were ull firm. The market quieted down After the first burst, and prices thereafter moved within narrow limits, while the weak stocks all recovered pactially from the low- ©st prices. Erie moved up from 85% to 86, Atchison from 823 to 833, Missours Pacific recovered to w;,. aud Union Pacific to 67}, Tu Coalers, Lackawanua moved up to 130 and Readivg to 37. Tucre was a wuoch firmer fecliug with less auimation at noon, With most active stocks close to Saturday's closiug figures. An improved feciing noticed At mdday resulted in sl better figuies before 1 o'clock, but the best prices did not bolg, and closing prices were at small declines from Saturday’s tigures, The scare over an advance in the Bank of Eng- 106 per cont seemed to wear off on the strength of reports that the treasury de- portwent will auticipate January disburse- ments.
