CHICAGO. Jan. l6.-Under the influence of
the Cisco failure and the suspension of the
iron house at Pittsburg, coupled with news of
a heavy snow fall throughout the entire
Northwest and Southwest, the wheat market
for February opened lc lower and May &c;
February went down 1sc more and May He \
The air was full of rumors and fears, and
timid ones let 90 freely; while strong and
confident parties as freely bought. UndOubt-
edlv, hoWev,. the market would have gone
lower but for the inherent strength in the
home and foreign wheat situation. Liverpool
was firmly held, and Mark Lane was dearer
with an advance of Cd per quarter for Cali
fOrnIa red winter and American spring off the
coast, while for prompt shipment red winter
was Sd per quarter better and American
spring Cd. In cargOes off the coast none were
Offering. The receipts here to-day were l49
cars, against III yesterday. The weather here
and the state of the foreign markets consti-
tute the two features of the situation which
inspire confidence. Corn was steady and firm
in comparison with wheat, and stocks Feb.
ruary opened &c lower and May &c, but
neither option seemed inclined to 90 any
lower, and afterwards recovered their loss
In fact, the present situation in corn seems
all in favor of a strong market. Liverpool
reported q good demand at an advance OF nc
per GENITAL. Mark Lane was firm. with an
advance OF SAUlL per quarter IOT American
mixed. The receipts to-day were pa cars
against 35l yesterday, and out of this number
only Is graded No. 2. Oats were very firm
The market opened 14(G3sc lower, in harmony
with their surroundings; but the May option
at once rallied, and advanced &c when wheat
and corn were both declining. The quantity
OF rye ana oats IN sight IS small. May pork
opened l0c lower at $l2 40, sold down to $l2 35
and up to Sl2 45. March lard opened points
lower at 69c, and sold down to 92c
