CHICAdO.
CHICAGO, February 1.-THE markets on Change
opened rather tame with prices practically I'M
changed. The expected cut In western grain rates,
and news from St. Louis that there was heavy
selling there on expected cuts to follow on roads
tributary to that point created considerable weak
nees In all grain markets May wheat, which
opened at SiA6lB1Ac under liberal selling by sew
eral houses, broke TO SOBC. When this figure was
reached, heavy purchases on the strength of the
talk of damage by cold weather to winter wheat,
noon selling was renewed, and May dropped of
TO Sic.
Corn kept weak ali through the session. Ex-
pected Generalization in freight rates and large
receipts, which expected to follow, kept prices
down. May opened unchanged at 5l1sG15lhc and
dropped to and closed at 50Hc Since the reduc-
ton In storage rates the difference between and
deferred futures has become less. This, with the
demand for cash corn, caused March to close at
1850.
There was little In the provision market to call
for special comment Outeide trading remained
almost dormant, and most local traders are giving
tire market less attention. Those who are loaded
with product are anxious to get prices up to I'M
load, but the trade ia 30 light that the market
quiree constant bostering to prevent staples from
declining.
Pork opened steady, or at a fraction advance, at
II 30 for May, and before noon prices advanced to
1442h, aud closed at l4.37h, gain over yesterday
of 10c,
Lard was quiet, but closed 2H@5c higher. May
