Grain and Provisions.

CnIcAoo, ILL.,, May l9-It was a bear day
In wheat. More efforts were made here TO
break the market than to support, and IL
responded. There was some good buying
early, and prices not only opened &c higher
than last night, but advanced 40 over the
opening prices. July wheat opened at p0%
Cg00lSc, and advanced TO 0OSsc, the highest
figure reached. Several large operators then
became open sellers, and there was enough
appearance OF weakness to cause very many
TO wish TO realize. From the above quoted
prices the decline was slow, with slight raj
lies. The weakness continued up 10 the
close, and the decline for the session from
the best price OF the morning was Just 20.
July closed at $3.50,
Corn was not bolstered up today, and down
IL camo under bright sunshine, large re-
ceipts, large estimates for Monday, large per-
ccntages OF contract stun aud large offerings
by a few local houses. OF course, the tum-
BILE in wheat made the decline In corn more
abrupt but IL was weak Of itself May
opened at 69lfc and tumblcd 10 67c, the
closing figure, and July from 67iSc 20 open,
20 6S%c TO close. Oats proved more stub
born than other grains today, and while the
price for Nav was 10 lower at the close, the
price of other futures were about steady In
the face OF the break In wheat and corn
MAY closed at 1870; July sold down 10 33is
@3SsEc, and closed ut 3S)sc.
Provisions were fairly active and higher
at the opening, but later a weaker feeling
set in, due 20 the drop In wheat and corn,
and prices declined sharply. Pork broke
IL &c, lard l0c and short ribs l2isc, closing
sales being at inside figures, and recorded
not declines Of &c on pork, 2IIo on short
ribs but steady ON lard The features Of the
trade In lard was the buying for every month
by George Stewart 4 Co, and the selling By
and closed at $s05. July pork opened at
Sl457H, broke TO Sli,i0 and closed at tli45.
Two houses bought 100000 lbs. short ribs
each. July sold at SG k97.s0 and closed at
$40

forth their best efforts 10 find ont soz1r

thing about the mysterious case, so as u
prove themselves better up in their worl,
than the two Scotland Yard men, who were
employed In the interests OF the Owen

Walmsbury, seemed 10 be at Il deadlock.
But, puzzle their brains and poke and
pry Us they would, it seemed impossible
10 find cut anything more than had been
done already.
They had both abandoned that clew
which seemed to point TO Mr. Beresford

Meekng perhaps knew moro than any
one else about the matter; but that astute
young lady being forewarned was thus
forearmed, and, IN spite Of tho many and
extraordinary questions which were put
