REVIEW or THE CHICAGO MARKET
CHICAGO MAY lG.-Tmdiug in She grain
pits was of moderate character to-day. AMI
The general tone OF the market was one of
nrmness. There were no exciting features
but the tendency II values upward was oc-
cssioued in part by good buying orlers
nom the southwest. whence reports Of the
winter wheat outlook continue very dis
COuraging. No Improvement has been re-
ported from any portion Of the winter
wheat belt. and speculation appears 10 he
based very largely upon the short Yield.
Very llttIc attention ~ apparently give ~ 10
the foreign situation. thOOgu the course Of
cOuSo.s j. watched closely. The wheat
market opened shade iirmer and
about g. over the c.uslng figures OF yeSter-
day advanced g. additional, fell back ro
hut rose again. ana closed ialc. over yeSter-
day. Trading IN cg.n was active, AID q
l>oItiOn of the ground lost YESTERDAY was
recovered, Larger receipts have been con-
idently cEkhte,,. and such as would cause
u decline iu prices. but the volume OF re-
ceipis continues u yht. and SD dipping demand
sin good. The market is &c. over latest
figures yesterday. Oats ruled quiet but
somewhat nrmcr and closed - shade
higher Trading in provisions continues
light. and prices exhibit but little change,
but the close WAS a shade higher.
