The Markets.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Rodiger & Co.'S
market letter of this evening says Wheat
opened strong this morning, with sales of July
at 81 171f, August at $l.173s, September at
silS, and year at $1.13 and for while
it seemed as if prices would advance
further, the number of country orders being
quite heavy. After these had been filled, how
ever, the support to-the market stopped,
it became apparent that everybody was
long and willing to realize while buyers held
of, and the consequence was general de
cline in prices, which carried the
market to 161s for July at the close this
afternoon. We do not see anything alarm
ing in this reaction, which is a naturaaf
consequence of the steady buying of the last
few days, and which mentioned as likely
~ occur in our letter OF Saturday. Ne
shall not be surprised to See still lower figures
at the opening in the morning but repeat that
we believe wheat To DO purchase on all weak
spots. Corn, to which we called attention last
week opened very strong this morning, July
selling at 5.l3S The market subsequently re-
acted to 5S16 for the same month, in sympathy
with wheat without showing any Intrinsic
weakness however. At the rate at which corn
is being shipped ont our stock viii soon be ma
terialIy reduced, and though the sharp adj
vance since Friday may cause a further weak
ening of prices we believe corn to be safe TO
