CHICAGO, May 14.-Trading on Change to-
day was at no time heavy. There was a squirt
of activity during the middle of the session,
owing to the rumor of a renewal Of trouble be-
tween England and Russia and lower consols,
but when this was denied, the market sagged
back rather heavily, and the closing for the day
was dull and weak at about the lowest prices
current during the session. There was a lack of
shipping inquiry, and the amount on passage
showed a material increase. which was used as
an argument by the bears for lower
prices. Foreign advices quoted wheat steadier
and cargoes quiet. The weather was reported
fine over the entire wheat growing district. The
Shipping demand for corn was reported light,
and there was more pressure to sell on the part
of spectators. Prices here were. reported to be
above a shipping basis. and this, together with
the decline In wheat, caused a week feeling, and
before the day closed prices had fallen of a cent
as compared with yesterday. Oats were dull
and general trade was slow. but prices for near
shipping demand continued good and stocks are
small. Provisions ruled very quiet and some
what easier.
