General Markets
CHICAGO, February 1.-THE condition of
things to-day on Change showed more clearly
( than ever the absence of outside business and
| the overshadowing influence of Hutchinson. He
had brokers in the wheat and corn pits, and
established prices mt which he would either
| buy or sell all the crowd desired The week
| closed with prices on the whole lower and the
market duller than seven days ago Compared
| with last Saturday, the price of May wheat was
this morning ll2 cent lower, corn 1l4 and oats
| l3s lower. There was plenty of gossiping but
| little trading in wheat to-day. May opened II
| cent higher, moved up to Sis during the frS
| hour and kept between that figure and S05s
| during the balance of the session. closing
| finally at SIS The tirmness was largely due TO
sealpers, who were evening up their trades for
the week.
The true account of operations in corn to-
| day consists in saying that Hutchison was
ready TO buy any amount at 5l3s and ready to
sell any amount at 5l1s65l5s These figures.
| therefore, formed the range of prices There
was no one who cared TO venture outside of
| the pegs, and business was narrow and light. in
which only q few took part. May opened at
| 5l$s and sold as stated between that figure and
| 5l5s and cl, sed at SIS
The interest in oats was better than in corn,
as they were not begged. May sold at 3l1s and
3l3, closing ut 3l9s-
Speculation in provisions was on a reduced
scale and almost entirely local, there being
little in daily variations to induce outsiders
send in fresh orders to either buy or sell. The
arrivals of hogs were up TO expectations and
| prices were maintained. Packing in Chicago
since November LIST, ,552. eco hogs decrease of
81 900 hogs from the same date last year.
