The stock market was less active to-day, with a material decline in values throughout the en tire list. Heavy sales in London caused a de cline there which was taken advantage of by bears and traders, who are ranged on that side at present, to hammer the market here, and though there was a good demand for all active specialties, and the general temper of the room was conservatively bullish, the pressure in the afternoon became too great for the limited de mand. The market opened heavy to weak on moderate business, with prices generally off from %@% per cent, from the final llgitres of last evening, but the good demand caused a fractional reaction, in the general list, while Wheeling and Lake Erie rose 1% per cent. This demand soon slacKed off, however, and the steady pressure sagged the list off again, though transactions were after the first hour on a very limited scale. Vigorous dashes were ma le at the list just after noon, and again at 2 o'clock p. m„ which brought the list down to the lowest figures at about the delivery hour. Union Pacific and New Jersey Central were the most conspicu ous in the raids, though the latter was very quiet. A slight recovery was made in the last tew minutes, but the close was heavy at or near the lowest prices reached. The total business was 263,000 shares. Declines are material, and Kansas and Texas lost 1%, Union Pacific 1%, New Jersey Central 1%, St. Paul 1%, Northern Pacific preferred, Missouri Pacific and Norfolk and Western preferred 1% per cent, each, Louis ville and Nashville 1, and the remainder frac tional amounts. Quicksilver rose 1% per cent. .narVet closed *t the following quotations: I THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1887.

The foreign position was fairly steady, but domestic showing brought uo encouragement, a comparatively full run of receipts in paitieular acting adversely to the bullish efforts, and a considerable portion of the lon ' interest manifested an inclination to un load. With no neutralizing influences iu the \\>y of buying orders, the effect was depress ing, and prices shaded some 6 to 8 points before the supply was exhausted. Afterward a small reaction took place, but the close was still 4 to 5 points under last evening, with the tone slow and a tame impression left of the market lor the day."

Chicago, Dec. 6.—There was a break In prices on the Board of Trade to-day. It started about 10 o’clock. May corn, which had sold up to 504£c, dropped to 54%c. May wheat, which touched high at 8594 c, dropped to 84%c, and May pork, which sola up to $l5 70, went bock to $l5 57%, all before 10:80. it was attributed to the heavy selling of yesterday. May wheat did not go below 84Uc, and the reaction from the break carrie lit back to 85c. It was found that there were good many buying orders around this figure, and it held pretty close to 85c for some time, Trading was rather cautious after the break, and the aggregate from 10:30 to the close of the session was not as large as for the first hour. At 12:30 May was steady at 84%c. Corn sales were very few at M%c for May. and this proved to lie the bottom price. There was enough demaud for the stun at 65c to keep it pretty close around that figure for practically the balance of the session. Provisions furnished a very uncertain flelu tor speculation. May jiork went down to $l5 35 before toe break was checked. From this figure it advanced to $l5 60, and at $12:00 was back to $l5 47J4. January option followed the same general course as May. and the same was true of lar i and ribs. At the close prices were: May wheat May corn 53%c, May oats &%c asked.
