GRAIN AND pROvIsIuN MAenErs
CHICAGO.

morning was toward lower prices. This
was especially true of wheat, which open
ed at N to 15sc lower than it closed on
Friday afternoon. Trading in this was
light and tiuc ua ions were narrow, being
confined to range of Tc. The market
closed IN to &c lower than Fridays last
prices.
Corn opened weak with wheat and
about nc lower than the close on Friday.
The tide was turned and prices put to a
point &c above inside figures, but the close
was only lc better than on Friday.
Stocks in lard, as shown by the monthly
statement, were much larger than thu
trade expected, while stocks of pork and
ribs were less. The decrease in pork stocks
was nos sufficient to prevent its decline
with lard, while stocks of ribs were small
enough to causea slight advance.
