wheat opened 1sc lower at S4 4c and sold off to $40
in the rst hour Buying by prominent house and the
crowd who had got short the first decline caused
reaction. and by noon May back 70 the opening
figure. There periods of extreme dulnsss after
closed at Alec. Corn duler than wheat,
and there not enough trading in the market to
make it worthy of mention. May opened at 81 lie,
sold off 20 sac, and closed at 541Sc. Pork the
most active article the board at the
start but it nearly exciting for tho
preceding days of the week. The hog market
1ODl5c lower. May pork opened sc lower at SIS 10.
The big operators who have been bears right along
bought little and sold little All of their purchases

$lo.O2l9+ Scattering buying in small lots advanced
the price of May 70 Sl5.l21o by 1890. The ruling
figure for the rest of the session Sl5121a, but
occasional raids by local bears would break prices
down to $lo. To- once as low $l5.05, but there
would be enough buying demand to put il up
