There was a good speculative demand at
the opening this forenoon, yet the market
was so sensitive that the appearance of
Hutchison as a bear turned the market
down in a twinkling. 1t was known to
prominent scalping firm that packer was
being sold out by brokers, and then sales
in consequence were enormous, probably
with the hope of wrecking the market and
profting thereby. On the afternoon call
there was better feeling, but prices this
evening show another sharp decline as
compared with yesterday.
The grain markets generally were firm

900 bushels of corn, 1877 900 bushels of
oats, and 10000 bushels of barley being
reported as shipped, while the charters pre-
vailed for the movement of $4,000 bush
els of corn, 5000 bushels of oats, and 25,-
900 bushels of barley.
On the board the wheat market, during
most OF the session, ruled rather quiet, and
it was only occasionally that there were
spurts OF any activity. The feeling devel-
oped was unsettled and feverish. The
weather was warm and crop reports gene

of the winter wheat markets is reported Ct

weakness in the local provision mar

There was exceedingly dull market for

arrivals were in large supply, The de-
mand was meagre and a dull and easier

There seemed to be few orders to either
buy or sell, and but small volume of
business was done. Cash sales of No. 3
oats were at 3415c for car lots, and a round
lot was sold at 3424c. Future deliveries
were dull and inanimate. The usual oper-
ators seemed to be without orders, and it
