moderate character, and during the early
part of the session the market was rather
slow. The receipts continue small, and
market advices from abroad were favor

future, fuctuated and finally closed about
sc lower for FEBRUARY, Bc lower for
March and &c lower for May than the
closing figures on change yesterday. The
shipping demand was less urgent and
buyers Disseminated somewhat regarding
location. No. and high mixed was in
fair request and sold at 561s@ @55$5c, but
closed nominally at about 5594c. Rejected
in moderate request and prices very
irregular, depending upo location. Houses
which were receiving Kansas and Nebraska
corn commanded a premium of 1@2c over
some other locations, with sales ranging at
made at the close. There was quite rush
to sell when wheat broke and the last half
hour was the weakest of the session. No
improvement was shown during the after
noon, board prices being shaded for March
and April, nominally the same for Febru-
ary and a trife stronger for May.
For oats the cash market was very quiet.
The arrivals continue very small, and most
consigments were sold by sample, and the
in-store market was entirely lifeless. No.
quotable at $3.50 but other grades nomi
nal. Sample lots firm, and, owing to both
the frmness and the scarcity, it was rather
difficult for shippers to fill orders. For
future deliveries the market was firm early

some deliveries prices closed trife lower

lower prices prevailed, February
being offered at 384@3838c.
Rye was about C lower generally and
May 1% q 1c lower. There was no shipping
demand and speculative orders were also
light, hence a dull, easy market. Rejected
nominal. Sample lots quiet. Future de-
liveries we're quotably shade lower. De-
mand very limited, and 1t was difficult to
effect sales.
Barley was very quiet. The cash in
store market was neglected and nominal,
No. 2 being about 85c. Owing to small
receipts sample lots were in light supply
and the demand was also very limited.
A fair business was reported in the mar
ket for hog products and the offerings
were quite liberal. Rrices ruled easier
early in the day, rallied again during the
latter part of the session, but closed with
considerable easiness. Shipping demand
fair, both on domestic and foreign account.
Foreign advices showed 2 steadier feeling
in lard, and prices were quoted Sd higher,
while bacon was unchanged. Eastern
markets were without material change.
The receipts of product we're moderate,and
the shipments of all kinds quite large.
The demand for mess pork
was moderate, and the offerings
fair. Prices ruled 5@10c lower early in
the day, rallied again 10@1219c but closed
easier. The offerings of lard were quite
free and the demand active. Prices ruled
215@5c lower per 100 lbs, but rallied again
and closed comparatively easy. Later in
the day pork became weaker and declined
215@5c. Lard held up fairly we'll to clos
ing prices OF the board.
Live hogs are still on the decline under
increasing receipts, although but $4,000
arrived to-day. The advices as to ship
nents from the west next Week show they
will be large. Prices were about sc lower
in consequence.
