CHICAGO, January 25.-The grain mar
kets were dull and declining and the shorts
in the provision pit thought it a good time
TO cover short sales. The bulls were not
mapping however, and the pit became the
scene of some lively trading acout midday
There was an advance OF 4Oc in May lard
In less than an hour and the biggest short
in the market was badly squeezed. Leo
pOld Bloom was reported the chief buyer
His short line was estimated at $4,000 TO
10000 tierces, and it was said that after
buying all he could on the way up there
was private settlement with Hately on
$1,000 tierces at $ll 40. 1t was the dullest
day in wheat for a long time. There was
nothing stirring in the way of news and
trade was sluggish almost TO stagnatlon.
There was very little selling pressure and
much that was offered could only find pur-
chasers by making concessions. Corn, firm
at the opening, declined a little, rallied
trihe later, and closed with a small loss.
