CHICAGO, May 16 The trading in the grain
pits was of moderabe character to-day and
the general tone of the market was one of firm
ness. There We're no exciting features, but the
trend of values was upward, occasioned 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.

about &c over the closing figures of yesterday
advanced &c additional, fell back &c, but rose
again and closed a0tc over yesterday. The
trading IN corn was active, and a portion
of the ground lost yesterday was recovered.

and such would cause decline in prices, but
