CHICAGO May s.-The local speculative mar
kets opened quite dull this morning, with
slightly lower prices prevailing. AS on Monday
the opening weakness was followed by slight
rally, which, however, did not last long, and
before noon quite brisk decline was started in
wheat and corn. The wheat market was a
tickle one outside influences being about evenly
divided. prominent operator pounded the
market, but scattering buying, a big falling off
in receipts, and the fact that the government
report is coming out Thursday, made great
many people hold on to their wheat and pre-
vented any serious break in prices. There was
a decline OF 116c in May corn. Shorts seem to
be pretty well covered, and some holders of
long corn were realizing as best they could.
There was decline, also-but less extensive
in more deferred futures, which was partly be-
cause of weakness in May and partly because of
very heavy short selling by several local bears
All this was In the face of comparatively light
receipts, which failed to strengthen the market
All activity in the speculative oats market was
concentrated in the early trading, when the
feeling was strong, especially for May delivery,
shorts bidding that month up about NC. Later,
when corn declined. there was an easier feeling
in oats and the market became dull Provisions
were only moderately active and values steady.
Short ribs received most attention Foreigners
are not taking hold so freely as last week
Shipments are large, but it is mainly lard pre-
viously contracted for, Receipts are fair, and
the indications are that they will continue for
some time as the high price has attracted ship
ments from outside points to this market.
Shorts have covered freely. and the impression
prevails that the whole trade is well evened up
