CHICAGO. May l6.-Iradiug in the grain
pits was OF q moderate character to-day. and
the general tone OF the market was one Of
hrmness. There were no exciting features
but the tendency OF values was upward
occasioued n part by good buy ing orders from
the Southwest, whence reports OF the winter
wheat outlook continue very discourlgiug.
so Improvement has been reported from any
portion Of the winter wheat belt. and specu
lation appears 70 be based very largely upon
the short yield. Very little attention is ap-
pareully given 20 the ior6igu situation, though
the course Of consols Is watched closely The
wheat market opened shade iirmer and
