CHICAGO ILL, March l7.-Trade on 'Chsuge
early TO y was among professionals rather
than scalpers. With some trading there was
consideIab 4lufing. Feeling on the moor IF.
market tied nothing together and some were
firm while others were sofs without apparent
reason. In wheat local receipIs were liberal by
comparison, and weak cables and not uIfaVOr-
able weather had = softening tendency
and when there VS. no specia
depression of pr.ces the market cid
WAS confined mostly 10 the smaller or orators.
May oTened at 1s3Tc, ranged between Is5I a
7s4c, closing at tue latter bgure. The strong
est article on the floor was corn. Receipts
were b. low the estimate, and there was me-
vigorous local buying, which added &c TO the
price during the FIR { hour of the session. Mar
ket weakened someWha owing to selling due
to la ge estimated receipts for Monday May

The dullest corner on Fl ior was the provision
pit The feeling was quies anu s5eacT and
tllcLuAtions were confined 10 &C rance, and
closing sales were almost tn. same figures as
yesterday, the only change being 21lc advance
on short ribs. Arrivals of hogs were fair, and
prices higher Hold rs product manifested
