GRAIN AND PROVISION MARA ETs.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. Is .-Wheat-The
speculative markets were firmer from the
start so far as grain was concerned, while
provisions were trodden under at the OPEN
ing by the feet of over $4,000 hogs which
arrived at the stock yards this morning.
Everything closed up strong after the dull
est session since the holidays. Provision
men recovered early from the scare which
they received from hog receipts, the
product recovering the early decline and
closing at trihlng advance. Wheat for
May advanced "a 10 nc while July under
the influence of the present good condition
and increased the average of fall wheat.
Corn-rradlug was slow and the day
proceedings uneven, as in all other specu-
iative pits. 1t declined in sympathy with
the early weak spell in wheat and tirmed
up when superior cereal changed in that
direction.
