CHICAGO. May 22.-NerY few features OF in
teres. were developed in the trading on
Change to-day; the fluctuations were gener
ally confined TO very narrow range, par
hcularly in wheat, but the prevailing tend
ency IN cereals was downward, and they all
closed somewhat under the last figures Of yes
terday. The "short interest in wheat, il Is
claimed was held IN leash through fear Of
another breaking out of the Anglo Russian
difficulty, but as consOls remained moderately
steady some free selling was INDUCED in;
there was scarcely any outside trading, and
local speculation was also on q more limited
scale; foreign markets were quoted inactive,
and New York and st. Louis markets were
quoted slow and a shade lower; receipts here
continue fair, while the shipping inquiry is
exceedingly limited; crop elOrts developed
nothing particularly new; the market opened
L4c lower, fell OF &c, luctuated, and closed
on the regular board &C under yesterday and
shaded on 80 more on the afternoon board.
The receipts of corn were considerably larger,
and quiet and easy feeling prevailed in the
speculative market; the shipping demand
was light and foreign adv ces quoted inactive
markete; the market fell or 20 and closed
&c under yesterday Oats ruled weak and "A
(91SC lower under the pressure OF large re-
ceipts and light demand. In provisions there
was very little doing, and prices showed no
material change.
