Extreme weakness characterized the openinR
| Of the speculative trading. Wheat started 10.
lower than lt cloeod on Saturday; corn and oats
were almost equally limp, and provisions we're
| asO pressed for sale at the same time. Conside~
rahle recovery took place, but not until late "a
I the session. after the shorts had had abupdant
| opportunities 10 cover their sales Of saturday
and the early part OF the day. There wre
| repetition In the wheat plt at the start 81 do
| scene enacted on Saturday morning Noone asks9
over clos for May wheat, as against tl,os,:
| at the close ~ the previous session, but buyers
| we're extremely scarce until it could be boughs
| at slO2ls. The prtme-moying cause Tor va:
| break was the very general belief among local
| exports that tho late bull campaign was
abandoned for the present aud that a reaction
| from tho recent adyCnce was naturally 20 10
looked for. The heaviest Of the local operators
| were Of one accord "a regards the immediate
| future Of the market ana sold with freedom.
| Finally the scare which preyaded the bpli ranks
| was transferred u the other partyt and an al.
| vance OF 1lSc. was brought about In tho course
| OF the last hours trading. The whole ~ TIE re-
| coyery did not stick, but May wheat closed az
| HlOJls. The corn market was very heavy ~
| the opening and trading was extremely lrreS
ular. Sales nc all the way frora d7c. TO 6o}1'.
| took place at tho same time. The weakness
| continued until wheat turned up, but tho re-
| cOyery In corn aid not respond 20 the full adj
vance made by the other cereal. May s0ld on
| 20 65sSc. aud recovered 90 661sc., which was
| tho ruling price az the close. Tho
| tho slumpy condition Of the market nc tho open
| ing frightened the longs, who proceeded 10 un-
| load. decline Of laa3lc. In tho sample market
held the decline Influence. The market Was
only fairly active. May started at 5.Itac., with
few trades at 553tc. Thence tbs price weakened
70 53lsd, nuctuated around b3lfa5334c, and
closed steady NJ the top price OF tho day, me
strengthening being due 20 a decrease IN the
visible supply. Tho market for hog products
was easier and the prices lower. Commission
houses appear 20 have good deal for sale ON as,-
count Of country holders, but a fair demand
sprang up at the decline which took place In tho
course Of the day. The receipt u 1900 hogs
and the lower prices reported from the yards
caused tho market 10 open on considerably, and
V had no reaction % spaak Of until tho receipt
| Of the cablegram advising favorable action BY
| the German GOyemm ent concerning the ems
Sensation and quick recovery. which left prices
ON the end about ING. lower for pork, 52ifc-
lower for lard, but without change Ia tbs price
