CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 19.-Speculation on
the board of trade today was dull and huct-
atoms were rather narrow during the most
of the session. The future of the wheat
market was an undertone of stubborn
strength which resisted several attacks by
the bears. July opened at O2N to CO
and closed firm at the former price.
Corn received little support from the
strength in wheat and ended at 5Sss,
Provisions ranged higher. The net re.
suit of the days trading was an advance of
22hc in July pork, 1Oc in July lard and 15c
in July ribs.
