CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 25.-Opening of spec
ulative grain ana provision markets and on
'Chsnge this morning was very similar to that
Of Tuesday. There was lack of leadership or
support on the bull Iside in wheat, and plices
sagged without breaking and rallied later In
the session. Bad crop news was heard on all
sides, but 1t appeared to have had Its day, and
prices tailed correspond; opening p.ices were
shade higher than the close las. night. No
efforts on the part of biz bulls to Improve
values; result wasa slow. decline of l cent from
opening to II a. M; from bottom point there
was partial rally telere noon, with scalping
was entirely regaine. on reports from sea;
board. There was considerable shifting of
May to llater options, and July was traded In
almost as actively as May. May opened at sl3I
se,s down and to closed sG At back so to
was light trading in corn today and
no very promi emit features. The market open
ing price for May was &c over last night, and
t1is was followed by sales at 541zc and up to
54xc. There was weak spot and May dropped
to 64sc, but reaction before the close was
partly due to sympathy with wheat and carried
the pr.ce to the highest point of the day, and
May closed at 55c. The differences paid in pork
