| CHIcAGo-In the speculative branch of the
! wheat trade to-day there was continuation oil
| yesterdays weakness. prices showing further
| depreciation. News was in the main bearlsh,
and so was local sentiment. The most import
| ant piece of news was dispatch from Mime
apolis saying that owing to the failure of all
but four elevators in that city to comply with
the new law and thus become regular, 100000
bushels of wheat will disappear from the
stocks there in the next report. Next in i'm
portance as bear factor was the report that
the Kansas Board of Agriculture estimating
| the crop of that State at 35 100000 bushels, or
10 100000 bushels in excess of the yield OF 1885
| Selling orders from the Northwest were re-
| ceived.
Receiving houses here are getting orders to
| sell Kansas No. 8 red wheat in $4,000 bushel
lots to arrive. There was pretty large trade
| in the pit for Saturday. Temporary strength
was developed early by the covering of two or
| three large lines of shorts, but the undertone
| was weak and the bears we're in control most Oh
the session. The net decline for the leading
| futures was sake, and the closing figures
were within small fraction of the bottom for
| the day and week There was general Equida-
| tion by discouraged longs and some selling Tor
account of Eastern parties. Both public and
| private cables noted dull and easier markets.
| A moderate speculative trade was transacted
| in corn, and the feeling developed was weaker
| on September. while the other futures showed
but little change compared with yesterdays
| closing figures. About the only feature was
| the free selling of September by prominent
that future so that now it is quotable about the
| same as October.
Trading in oats was fair for May, but for
other months very little business transpired.
There was liberal buying orders for Nay at the
| inside and fair offerings at the outside figures,
and the market held steady at slight decline
Considerable interest was manifested in mess
pork, and speculative trading was quite active
and almost exclusively in October and January
deliveries. The feeling was somewhat unset
tied and prices irregular, the former ruling &c
higher and the latter 715G0l0c lower. The mar
ket closed at about outside figures for the form
er and inside for the latter.
A comparatively light business was reported
in lard, and the feeling was steady: Sales were
made at about yesterdays range of prices.
In short rid sides moderately active trade
was reported, and the market was steadier.
Prices ruled somewhat irregular and averaged
higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
