| CHICAGO. April 1.-The great provision deal On
| tho Board of Trade. which for twelve months has
| kept the price OF pork. lard, and ribs under tbs
| domination OF two 1rms, Was loosened up to-
| day. Cudahy and Fairbanks, who have sipce
| March, 1892, been In command OF tho provision
market, have abdicated. They are satisfied.
| seemingly, with the s3,000,0O0 which they are
| eaid TO have cleaned up on their twelve months
| manipulation. The markets for provisions to-
| day, without the support which those
them. were extremely weak. There WAS
| q drop OF sl per barrel IN pork and
! 81 per 100 pounds in lard. When the crowd
saw that the hog markets were abandoned oy
their late supporters there was general rush
20 unload, resulting In tho heavy de line feferrod
70. The big drop IN tho price q proysions WAS
| the principal feature OF tho markets to-day.
| Everything else was similarly Affected, but 10
less depressing extent than tho provision deal.
| Tonight, compared with the closing prices
, Thursday the following are the losses sustained:
