CHICAGO, Jan. I9-Wheat had apparently
very few friends to-day. The market was again
slumpy. prices dropping off rapidly, resulting in
the establishment of the lowest range of values
current since March, 1885, since when, until to-
day, the prices of March wheat had not touched
so low figure as 7Gasc, which was the lowest
this afternoon. The market opened moderately
firm, but decline followed, which carried the
price for May delivery down from 81 to &c.,
selling broke prices to 82s 0S2sc, which was the
figure at / O'Clock. In the afternoon
May closed at s2ac. One of the chief
reasons assigned for the weakness was a state
ment that the speech of the Queen of England
would result in the placing of duty on Ameri-

and SO did oats. Mess pork was in quiet demand.
