CHICAGO. March l9.-ThIs was a day of I'M
settled values in the leading articles, there
Rapid declines were made in the provision
list, especially in pork, while wheat and corn
held up with a moderate degree of irmne~s.
The receipts were free. Wheat opened firm
and higher. The early feeling was about
steady, and during the morning an lrregu ar
advance OF sc over the lowest prices was
made but fell back again then under good
buying, advanced again, and closed on the
regular board sc over yesterday. There was
a strong feeling on the afternoon board, and
prices again advanced Ssg15c. the strength
being largely attributed TO bad crop reports.
Corn was also shade better early, but the
subsequent tone was a little less strong than
in wheat. The early quotations were the
highest. An irregular decline OF &c was re-
corded IN seller May, but later the market re-
covered &c. Few features entered into Its
the bulk Of attention being
given to wheat and provisions. No. cash
sold from 391S(d4Oc. oats continued quiet and
with very moderate speculation IN
seller May. and practically nothing in the
other months. Provisions were unusually
,etiVe and sharply lower. The arrivals at the
"a rds were free. The opening IN pork was
iHt,- M to Yesterdays closing prices. and
events maize early quotations the
51ghest Of the day. The decline began early
IN The morn ng session. and continued quite
steadily to the close. amounting to o215c from
the opening prices. Weary everybody haa
sirns Of a decline, while additional quantities
were brought out on stop orders, ana also
shaken out by expiring margins. An I'M
usually large numbeF OF IEduefs .NHIt III at
tendance. Each decline lessened the conf
hence. An Incidental cause OF the weakness
,vas the publication of the hog crop reports.
The depression continued TO the close at !
o,cIock when the market was heavy at de-
cline. There was a slight reaction IN the
afternoon.
