CaIcAGo. Feb. bears were in control Of the
speculation in future deliveries in wheat, corn
ana oats and also provisions. At the opening
the pit was overlooking with sellers of May
wheat at SS1sc, and there were no buyers TO
speak OF except from those who were cutting
prices &c below 99l6c. At 993kc and 99Lzc there
were some buyers for second or two, out the
uproarious anxiety Of sellres TO dispose of their
stun made those who were inclined to buy de-
slst, and they were rewarded for their exercise
OF little patience by finding plenty for sale at
voc before the trading had been even ten min
utes In progress. There was really nothing in
sight TO stop the decline but buying against
puts and the caution of some shorts. The class
OF traders referred to had no reason 20 regret
their moderation. for twenty minutes later they
had an opportunity TO put out their short wheat
again at 9S3sc, and in the course of an hour
thereafter TO buy it back again at 971kc The
eifectual resistance to the bear attack under
the foregoing influence and consequently fur
ther drop in May wheat to SIC was not surpris
ing. The price in the meantime had recovered
from Sl9 on the break previously alluded to-
TO " 5zc, and it was from Jhs latter point that
break to SIC was started. The corn market was
influenced principally by the spreading belief
that receipts are upon the eve of Increasing
cling steadily from the opening prices, which
were about steady. The market wes fairly act
i've, with trading well scattered among the local
crowd A large quantity of long oats were sold.
Inc market for provisions was weighted down
at the opening by very heavy receipts for Satur-
day OF ~ 900 hogs, as advised from the yards.
There was decline 70 50 so. and subsequent
recovery to So IS, leaving a loss of 22lsc since
the close of Fridays session. Lard closed at a
support until similar decline had been sub
united TO.
