CHICAGO, May 16.-Tbe tradingin the grain
pits of moderable character to-day, and
the general tone of the market was one of firm
ness. There were exciting features, but the
trend OF values was upward, oceasiOned in part
by good buying orders from the Southwest
from whence reports as to the winter wheat out
look continue very discouraging. No improve
ment has been reported from any portion of the
winter wheat belt, and speculation appears to be
based very largely, upon the probable
shortage of the yield. Very little attention is
apparently given to the foreign situation
though the course of consols is watched closely
The wheat market opened shade firmer, and
about &c over the closing figures Of yesterday
advanced &c additional, fell back &c. but rose
again and closed a0sc over yesterday. The
trading in corn was active and portion
of the ground lost yesterday was recovered
Larger receipts have been confidently expected
and such as would cause decline in prices, but
the volume of receipts continued light and the
shipping demand is still good. The market
closed &c over the latest figures yesterday.
Oats ruled quiet but somewhat firmer and
closed higher. The trading in provisions con-
tinues light and prices exhibit little change but
the close was a shade higher.
Flour was quiet and unchanged.
Wheat was quiet but strong due to the crop
situation, and the market closed "a SC over yes
terday. The sales ranged: May, 884 % SOC; june
