CHICAGO, May 27.--May corn bobbed up &C. TO-
day and closed at 4c. Advance. the cash marsct
was well attended by the few May shorts, VINO
appear 20 be standing out waiting Tor an inter-
position OF Providence in their favor. IL is sur
missed that the principal short In tie market Is
the same bic trader who for 50 long has been
playing successfully the short side OF every hing
which IL IL possible 10 sell for future delivery.
Partridge apparently. however, can sand AS
severe an application Of the thumb-screws
without wucing as any one, and although
the guess as 70 his position In the May
corn deal may be- wrong no ono ex.
poets 20 discover confirmation or denial OF
| II from his demeapor. The amount OF business
| for May was very light and tho price was very
erratc. IL was sold early At 63 and later az o4,
80. 81, and even "a high IA 40 was PAD Tor
limited quantity. The closing price was o.
July from 453e aud ALL Mt the opening, de-
clined 20 45I4 aud sold "a high as i5ss later. IL
closed with sellers at 45l9 or Is under last
nights figures The market was slightly easier
on account OF the better weather ana heavier
wholly OF local character. Tho opening was
about i1al lower. then 1t rallied lssSs. fuctu-
| atcd within narrow lnits, and the closing
was about a higher than yesterday.
| Oars attracted little attention aud ruled
| n irife easier, the weakness being due TO
| heavy receipts. Provisions opened Arm on
higher prices for live hogs at rho yards aud then
fell of On the longs unloading, the situation
being the reverse OF what II was yesterday, with
| che suppositon that the market was pretty weil
| eyened up, although there may be a few shorts
| olt yet. The impression was pretty generahy
expressed that If corn held up IN the face OF the
| fine weather this market would rule steady
otherwise n would go all to pieces. IL Is esii.
