"I always thought there wore plenty of lobsters," remarked a dealer, "If not In the market at least out of It; but I am beginning to disbelieve oven that. Wo have been looking for crabs and lobsters, but they come not. It has been suggested that we might try the effect of beginning tho day's work by singing, 'Wcj Need Theo Every Hour,' for that Is a fact, but 1 fear wo will have to keep on waiting for better conditions. The presont condition Is most unusual." Wholesale Quotations, Hay. Grain and Straw.

Grain and Provisions. , CHICAGO, Nov. 29. Heavy movemont of grain In the Northwest was one of the leading factors in a weak wheat market mar-ket hero today. At the closo December wheat was off precisely one cent. May was down o. Corn was off '3c. Oats and provisions aro practically unchanged. Influenced by early firmness In the Liverpool wheat market, Bald to be duo to reports of unsettled weather In Argentina, Ar-gentina, the wheat market here opened firm. December was up at $1.07, and May 1;c to jc at $1.09 to $1.09. From tho start, howover. thero was frco soiling by commission houses with Northwestern North-western connections. Pit traders were Inclined In-clined to follow. A yrlvato dispatch denying de-nying unfavorable weather In Argentina caused some weakness. Initial quotations marked the high point of tho day. prices gradually receding as trading progressed. Ono of the principal elements in the sltu-'ation sltu-'ation was the accumulation of wheat In storo in the Northwest. A report from Minneapolis, stated that stooks of wheat has Increased over 000,000 bushels, during the past three days. Ca-jh markets at Minneapolis was oxtromely weak. In fhls connection much significance wus attached at-tached to 11 rumor that, owing to poor demand for flour, all tho flour mi'ls at Minneapolis and Milwaukee were likely to close down. In addition to tho bearish bear-ish situation In the Northwest, a local statistician's summary of winter wheat conditions was a hard blow to bulls who havo been trying to create alarm out of the drouth In the Southwest. The summary sum-mary not only claimed the situation to be good In most localities, but predicted that with a fair snow protection the dry autumn will help tho crop. Inasmuch as the laclc of moisture lias forced extra root growth. Somo crop dainago news came In during the day but apparently had llttlo stimulating effect.
