There were several bearish features in the day's news, chief of which was an estimate made in a ca- blegram from Buenos Ayres, making the sur- plus of wheat for export from Argentina 40,- 000,000 bushels. Forelgn markets were closed on account of the Christmas holidays, but the receipts of some buying orders for futures on European account were reported, and at least 150,000 bushels were bought In the pit there on an order from Liverpool.
