Chicago, Ill. May 8.--Thc local specula-
tive markets opened quite dull this morning
with slightly lower prices prevailing for
wheat, corn and provisions. As on Monday,
the weakness was followed by a slight rally,
which, however, did not last long, and be-
fore noon quite brisk decline was started
In wheat and corn. The wheat market was
n tickle one, outside influences were about
evenly divided. A prominent operator
pounded the market, but scattering buying,
the big falling of in the receipts and the fact
that the government report is coming out
Thursday, made great many people hold
on 10 their wheat for fear that they might
get left II they waited TO buy later, and pro-
vented any serious break in prices. July
wheat opened at SAFE, sold up 10 sac,
backed 10 SIC, up again 10 SAC, back 10
SiIso and closed at Si9Ec
There was decline OF llsc In the price OF
May corn today. The shorts seemed 10 be
pretty well covered and some holders Of long
corn were realizing a, best they could. There
was also decline, but less extensive, IN the
more deferred futures, which was partly be-
cause of the weakness In May and partly be-
cause Of very heavy short selling by several
bears. All this was In the face Of compare
lively very light receipts, which failed TO
strengthen the market. May corn opened at
57hc, sold up 10 512so and closed at $3.50.
June and July opened at 6j3sc, sold 10 6574c,
declined To $3.50 and closed ut 55%c.
All the activity in the speculative market
was concentrated in the early trade when
the feeling was strong, especially for the
May delivery, the shorts bidding that month
up about &c. Later, when corn declined,
there was Am easier feeling In oats, and the
market became dull. May sold up 10 $3.50,
and closed at SAC. July sold up to &c. and
closed at 329Ic.
Provisions only moderately active aud
values steady. Short ribs received the most
attention. The foreigners are not taking
hold 10 freely rs last week. The shipments
are large, but Il is mainly lard previously
contracted for Receipts are fair, and indica-
lions are that they viii continue 30 some
time, as the high price has attracted ship
ments from outside points 30 this market.
Shorts have covered freely, and the impress
sion prevails that the whole trade Is well
eyened up. July pork sold at Sli.3O@l4.&h =,
and closed at Sissy; lard, Mt -. % ls@S.S7LS
and closed at $s27IE short ribs, at S7.G2i 40
