CHICAGO, May 12.-In spite of a decrease of
nearly 2 ZOO. 600 bushels in the visible supply of

causes assigned was an increased acreage in por-
tions of the spring wheat belt and reports from
Mime ota and Dakota that spring wheat gener-
ally was looking well. The closing figures of
the day were &c under the closing figures of yes
terday, and PC under the highest prices current
at one time yesterday. The receipts were
larger, and foreign advices quoted quiet mar

ruled steady throughout. Provisions ruled dull
and easy. Mess pork declined 100l5c.
