was transacted on change to-day, but
prices ruled lower all round. Wheat de-
olined sharply. Corn went off from SYM
pathy and provisions eased off and closed
weaker than for some days, although prices
did not decline greatly. The feeling was
unsettled and uncertain, prices being high
est in the first dealings and lowest at the
close. The supply of outside buying or
ders so seriously interfered with by the
storms of the past week, has not yet be-
gan to reach its former proportions, and
many holders to whom fair profit has
already accrued have thought it safest to
realize. The result has been that every
appreciation in values has brought out
liberal offerings, more, in fact, than the
demand would stand. In the wheat pit on the
board the trading was fairly active and the
feeling unsettled. The receipts continue
small and market advice5 from abroad
were of a favorable tenor. The market
opened at about the closing figures of yes
terday to shade lower and prices declined
I@5c, then rallied under sharp specu-
lative demand, and prices were advanced
about 58c. This advance brought out free
selling offerings, and with some fuctua-
tions prices declined 118c from outside
figures, and finally closed about B@1c
lower than the closing figures on change
yesterday. Prices were still easier on call,
but very little except for May delivery was
parted with at the figures offered, $1.0618
@1O6$8c for February and S1.12@1124
for May. In the latter future a lively
business was done, several large blocks
being unloaded. The scare over the dam
age done the winter wheat is abating some
what, but is still a subject of discussion.
It was reported that a round lot of
million and half bushels of May was or
dered to be sold if the market got down to
q certain point, but it did not make its ap-
pearance. Spring wheat was in moderate
request to-day, and early was quite firm,
but closed easier, and there was fair in
quiry for winter bat tae offerings were
light.
There seems to be little prospect for
any business in flour at present. Export
ers are holding some orders, but will not
pay what is asked; still they have had their

great quantity. Among the crowd fair
basine5s was transacted, but at times the
market ruled very quiet, chiefly speculative,
