MARKETS BY WIRE.
All the Cereals Laboring Under an Attack
of Weakness, but no Important
Declines Established Hog
Products Quiet and Easier.

CHIcAGo-There was less doing in wheat to-
day, and quiet, slow trade was reported dur
ing most Of the session. The feeling was
weaker and yet no very important decline was
established. Opening sales were 1s@Lc higher
than yesterday, and after iuctuating within a
small range for some time became weak, and
prices declined Tc, recovered 7Sc, ruled easy
and closed &c lower than yesterday.
Some parties who were named as the princi-
pal buyers yesterday sold moderately to-day.
Advices were received reporting rain in Texas,
and as harvesting is thought to be in progress
there, the market strengthened some by these
reports. Home markets were all easier. 1t
was estimated that the visible supply would not
vary much from 1,OOO,OOO bushels TO l,2OO, 900
bushels decrease.
A fair trade was reported in corn at further
decline in price. The weakening factor was
the large arrivals. The market opened shade
under the closing prices of yesterday, declined
&c, became less active and ruled steady, clos
ing 1850 lower than yesterday. There was
considerable covering by shorts on the decline,
which had tendency to steady the market.
A weak feeling prevailed in oats, and, al
though trading was fair, prices declined L@12c
and the market closed quiet at about inside
figures. The weakness was due to continued
heavy receipts.
quiet and dull feeling prevailed in mess
pork: Prices declined l771@2Ue, and the mar
ket closed quiet.
Trading was rather light in the lard market
and the feeling easy. Early the market showed
a little more steadiness and prices improved
slightly. Later, however, the feeling was
easier and the advance was lost.
Short ribs were moderately active, Prices
ruled 5@711c lower and steady at the reduction.
