CHICAGO, Nav ga frantic scramble
in the provision pit to-day Outrivalled any
thing done by the wheat and corn crowds.
For two or three days the local sCalping
trade have played for a break in prices
ana, while creating short interest, failed
10 depress prices TO any extent The chief
obstacle appeared 10 be the firm and adj
vauced tone in the grain markets. When
the large receipts Of $1,000 hogs this morn
ing failed 10 break prices at the yards, and
the packers showed a disposition to con-
tinue the buying Of ribs there was alarm
among the shorts. Then the grain market
made quick bulge and this started the
scalpers 20 cover. Business in wheat was
only moderate. Advices from several
points ia the Northwest reported clear
and warm weather, and New York parties
did some selling here and possibly bought
stocks at home. Operators are not inclined
TO do much al present, excepting in small
speculative way, there being disposition
10 await DEVELOPMENTS. The alleged
killing of the Hatch bill was one Of the
bull arguments to-day, while strong bear
| card was the rumOr OF an important failure
