CHICAGO. March 1.-THE tendency in the
wheat market was downward to-day and the
news was OF a mixed character. Nay wheat
opened with sellers at 81 OH, as compared
with 81 015sc bid on the previous afternoon, and
it sold of another lac at once, followed by a
temporary reaction to 81 02lk, after which the
market became very heavy and declined grad
ualiy TO 81 Ola. and very rapidly after getting
under the las figure, until finally the crowd be-
came anxious sellers for a few moments at
81 OOzs. with some sales at 81 O0A. There was
some reaction from the lowest prices, due to
the taking OF profits by the shorts, the closing
price for May being 81 00zk sellers Corn came
down into the hands Of buyers in unexpected
quantities. The liquidation was continued ON a
heavier scale. There was nothing to account
Tor the change. With few minor reactions,
the general tendency during the session was
downward. Oats opened weak and lower
There were few sales of May around 511sc,
when the price went quickly of to sic. Toe
market gained strength and the top price Of the
day was made az 5l34c. The free selling led by
Mccormick caused a break to 501sc. The recov-
cry to o9S4c, which was the last price, indicated
decline for the day Of 11sc. The market was
fairly active after the opening until the last
hour, when there was very little doing. The
provision trade recovered its tone to moderate
degree, after opening weak In sympathy with
corn, and In consequence Of the continued
heavy receipts of hogs There was a good deal
OF product for sale, but there were also plenty
OF buyers, and in the end the latter were in
greater numbers. May pork opened at $40 60,
sold early in the day at $40 co. recovered to
$40 80 and closed at 77Itc, or at the sams price
as on Friday. Lard was also weak early, and
firm to strong later. Ribs opened &c under Fri
days closing prices, but advanced 10c over the
opening quotation in course of the day, and
closed only 215c under the top prices.
