BULLS STAMPEDED.

Weakness An Around Again in the Grain
and Provision Markets - Russian Ru-
mors Once More Playing q Part on
'Change-Dealers Nervous and Cautious.
CHICAGO - The wheat market had .
weak tendency to-day. Wheat opened ex-
tremely dull. For q time prices held quite
steady to the closing figures OF yesterday,
but the feeling gradually grew weak, and
when few items of bearish news came in
the bulls stampeded and prices dropped.
Cables were somewhat conflicting. The
trade seemed hesitating and cautious. Longs
seemed to feel uncertain of their ground.
The fact that Liverpool was no lower
after our weak market of yesterday,
gave the friends of wheat some courage at
the start the price of Nav around the open
ing being s2@9sHc, against slXc at the close
yesterday. 1t held within these figures for
an hour or more. Then the failure Of the
expected cold wave to develop dangerously
low Temperatures in the winter wheat coun-
try began to have besrish effect. Next it
supply would show an increase of from 5oo-
COO TO 100000 bushels. Then followed
a rumor that Russia was to abro-
sats the export pPohiHitiOa Rnss.n ukase
of last year had been found to be largely in
excess of former estimates. These improba-
BILE Russian rumors had instant effect on q
market that was already weak, and there
their holdings, and short sellers were
equally anxious to get out their lines.
Weakness was the feature Of the market
from that time till the close, which was at
9o1Lc, the lowest figure of the day, and &c be-
low the top price.
Corn quiet but weak. The Chipping de-
mand was Stacker than usual, and there was
very little speculative buying. Holders
showed some discouragement and good
many sold freely. The market opened nc
higher at 421Ic, in sympathy with the early
frmness in wheat ana improved Lc more;
but it sold OF to4l7sc and closed at 42c.
Oats more active, but lower and weak.
The liquidation of several large lines, which
was commenced yesterday, was continued
to-day. The close shows loss of Nc.
Pork had a sharp break and showed loss
of Csc at the close. Wheat was partly re-
sponsible for this, but a sudden raid by a
prominent speculator in the latter part of
the session aided in the depression. There
were one or two feeble rallies. Lard and
ribs were less affected and show only imma-
terial declines.
The leading FUTURES ranged as follows, as cor
members of the Chicago Board of Trade:
