rather moderate and prices easier, falling
fully l 18c from the highest point touched
yesterday, and at tne close December was
about e lower than it closed at 1 o'clock
yesterday, January q C lower, and May &c
lower. The market opened weak and sold
off some, recovered a trife, but at no
time was within * of yesterdays closing
and not more than &c below, changed
frequently, but moving within moderate
range, closing weak. Speculation in
wheat is comparatively light, corn and
provisions drawing the attention of
operators.
Market advices from other points were
not encouraging, and there was more de-
sire to sell on the part of operators to sell.
In corn, an easier feeling existed, and
most of the advance of yesterday was lost
There was a disposition to sell, and the
brighter. cooler weather was the principal
reason assigned for this movement,
although the recent advance evidently in
duced operators to realize on some of
their long corn. The receipts were small
er. Foreign edvices quoted a frmer mar
ket. The market opened A@38c lower,
declined c more, then rallied PC again
easedsof and closed about &c lower fer
December and year; $5c lower for Janua-
ry, and 25c lower for May, than closing
figures on Change yesterday.
Oats weakened off somewhat from yes
terday's big advance and the tone of the
trade was dull one for the most of the
day, with fair call for cash at 70 decline
in store, but ute dull in the sample mar
ket, while all futures were from 10 to zee
below yesterdays. No. 2 cash was fair
sale, in store and nearly all the cars in
speoting No. were going in store, while
samples were dull and 1@2c per bushel
lower for all but those that can be put on
cars to-day, as the advance
in rail fr5ichts next week
Is discounted the difference in freights, yet
oats were the strongest thing on the mar
ket except, perhaps, corn. This was due
to three causes--sy mpathy with corn,
shortage in cash oats, and suspected ma
nlpulations IL December.
The market for rye was unsettled and
more changeable in selling the same for
cash, bat lower for all deliveries for fu-
lures. The call for cash was light. Sam
pies were slow, and there is little call for
the low grades.
In barley, it has been difficult this
week to bring about sales for the cash of
ferings, or to sustain prices in the specu-
lative market, and we have to note a de-
pressed tone to-day, and sellers at
fhuy
usually slow to take hold. Samples were
in only fair request at any price, and
while the best and brightest went off quite
we'll at the low prices ruling, there was
little sale for the poor at any rate that
could be named.
Flour was without change from our pre-
vious report in there being 4 limited call
for the wants of the home trade, 5ut next
TO nothing for shipping account. and the
feeling was dull one generally. Rye
hour was slow. Bran and all millstuffs
were doing we'll.
An active business was transacted in hog
products, but the market vas greatly IN
settled and prices ruled very irregular,
rendering trading quite unsatisfactory.
The offerings were liberal early, and lower
prices were accepted in all the leading
articles, but during the middle part of the
session more strength was developed and
the greater portion of The reduction was
recovered. Foreign advices showed an adj
vance of cd in lard, but other articles
were unchanged. Eastern markets showed
little alteration. The receipts of products
were fair and the shipments quite large.
Trading was quite brisk in the market
for mess pork, but prices Guctuated con-
siderably. Offerings were free and the
demand active. Early in tho day prices
were easier and declined 10 a 2Oc, but later
in the day rallied 100 15o, and ruled some
what irregular to the close. The shipping
demand was moderate.
Lard was active on speculative account
and prices were somewhat irregular and
unsettled, opening easy and declining
some, then selling up to nearly the out
side figures reached yesterday,
reacted again, and closed at prices little
different from Friday. Cash was in fair
demand at November prices for old and
21sG sc premium for new.
The inquiry for short rib sides was fair
" active and offerings moderate. Prices
were weak and declined 10G12l5c per
100 pounds early, but rallied again 591oc
and closed steady. The shipping demand
was fairly active
1t is reported that Minneapolis men
were in this city yesterday and tried in
vain to negotiate for money with which 10
carry large quantity of wheat there into
MAY against sales made here. The differ
ease OF Ike between January and May
would pay we'll to carry the grsin where
storage is cheap, providing the pecuniary
conditions were alright, which it seems
they are not. Hence We may expect the
arrival of several hundred thousand bush
els of that wheat TO swell the already large
stocks now accumulated here.
The bears say, what is the
use of corn in Egypt now
thatthere is no one left in that country to
eat it.
