Chicago May 22.-Wheat opened at about
the closing figures of Saturday and prices
were advanced 2aOhc then declined again to
inside prices ruled easy, and the closing was
about &c lower for July and &c for Septem-
Ter than Saturday. There was good selling
of corn but the crowd took offerings readily
and prices held firm. The market opened a
shade under the final figures of Saturday,
rallied and at the close had gained 4G1%c.
Offerings of oats were better, and little de-
mand for May sent prices up sc. Other futures
advanced 1z63sc except September, which
only advanced &c. The close was steady at
about the top. The reign of dullness in pro
visions that set in the last week was con-
tinued to-day. There was scarcely anything
doing with the market which was lower in
sympathy with the weakness in live hogs at
the Yards and a lack of buying orders
Chicago, May 22.-Cash quotations were as
follows: Flour easier; there were few
sales except at concessions Wheat-No. 2
