A DAY FOR THE SCALPERS.
The Grain Markets Fairly Active, but
Showing No Great Strength.
The Bulls" Learnedly Discussing Ell Mahdis
Movements and Their Probable Effect
on the Chicago Markets.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Feb 5.-The situation on Change
to-day possessed no feature likely to create much
enthusiasm on either side. The marletwas gov
erned entirely by manipulation, and there was
little of interest to any but the scalpers, who
keep the ball rolling when nothing else will do
it, Provisions alone were strong and active.
The grain markets We're fairly active in specu-
lative circles, but exhibited no great strength;
neither could they be called weak. The fluctua-
tions in corn covered barely lie, closing lac off
from the opening figures. Wheat tried
bravely not to fall below 99c, but there
was not enough back bone to the
article to sustain it. Yesterday May wheat
closed at 80 Sc; to-day it fell under 99c early,
and closed tihe steadier at SO 7Sc During
the past two weeks there has been a strong
effort to ''bull" wheat First, there was plenty
of talk, circulated where it would do the most
good to the effect that there would be a very
poor crop next year, for various reasons, the
prospects of the Pacific slope particularly being
much maligned; that story becoming stale, bad
weather came most OPPORTUNITY and now bears
the brunt of the blame attached to the prospect
i've short wheat crop Not few
dabbiers in wheat have been anxiously
looking for big bulge, but that interesting fea-
tule of the market year ago is becoming less
OF q possibility every day Even some of the
bulls now say it is too late for anything of the
kind this year Up to the close of the call, to-
day, provisions were very strong and active.
Jones and others bought freely of pork and lard
and a few timid rustics dipped in gingerly
Pork reached its highest point ST.. 20
about the time the call closed
b. the forenoon and then fell gradually off, clos
Ing at loss of II lie The articles on this list
however, are still considered strong and pork is
confidently expected to reach $ls before the week
is up.
We quote closingprces as follows: May wheat,
9S use bid; May corn, 5S 3Sc bid; May pork,
$l1.47 l-2; May lard, 9.o5c.
This evening, in the Palmer House rotunda,
lhere has been much discussion among the
"bulls" and bears as to what influence the
upon the market The former hope to see it
used to advance the price of wheat, ana to-mor-
row there will probably be started all sorts of
theories about the interference with commercial
and agricultural pursuits which the almost I'M
INSTRUCTED advance of the False Prophet may
cause The "bears' say that they fear the
moving of Armour and Kent more than they do
the operations of all the Mussulman hordes.
