Toe principal interest Of the session centred
as usual In the wheat pit Moskoess was the
feature OF the deal, although the actual decline
since yesterday afternoon was only &c. in May
delivery aud &c. In July. Opening tran sactions
wero at PC &C. for May, which vas an improve
ment since yesterday afternoon. For nearly an
hour the market Was supported BY moderate
number OF buying orders. aud the price OF Way
deliveries was held within range OF 90 ae8Ac.
Then with a rush OF the bulls TO sell wheat the
price OF May delivery declined TO axe: During
the latter part Of the session the price
reacted 10 6Hc for May, and closed
weakness In corn from tho beginning. Trading
was Inactive and iueyu7tiops showed tendency
toward lower level as tho session progressed
Oats attracted more attention than usual. the
market declining steadily under free selling and
closed &c. lower. Provisions started hrmer upon
smaller receipts OF hogs and activity in the de-
mand for them at better prices. AZ reported from
the yards. The weakness In grain circles may
have had something 70 do with weakness which
succeeded the early strength In provisions, but
packers found their advantage In selling. aud
that was probably the principal hindrance 90 an
advance.
