Very Little Life In Any of the Chicago

and Weak-NO Bull Support.
CHICAGo-The wheat market was again weak
to-day and prices dipped below 6Oc for May,
opening heavy at about sc below yesterdays
closing, sold off &c more, improved slightly, and
closed about &c lower than yesterday. There
was lack of bull support Long wheat thrown
on the market and closing of stop orders assisted
the weakness. Large lines of shorts were Gov
cred.
A light business was reported in corn, the
market ruling dull and featureless the entire
session. The trade was entirely local and feel
ing slightly lower, in sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat. Fluctuations covered only a
fractional range. and closing prices were a
shade lower than yesterday.
Oats-Surrounded by easier markets for
other cereals, an increase in arrivals and at the
market for oats to-day suffered dullness and
values were lowered trife below the former
level. An easier speculative market, with
other conditions in cash buyings. and they were
slow to take the car-lOts offering, slow trade
was experienced, and sellers we're obliged to
yield some concessions, SO that finally about Nc
lower of prices was quotable.
Not much life was manifested in the
market for hog products, and the feeling
was easier. Prices for all the leading
articles ruled lower and the market closed
rather tame. Outside orders were small.
Trading was chiefly in May contracts, with
some little business IN transferring from teD-
ruary and March to May.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
