Chicago, May iS.-An unsettled and nervous
feeling governed the trading in wheat to-day
with another low score being made. but the
close whilst showing not a very important
gain over yesterday was nevertheless al
most at the highest point touched during the
session, Oherings by the big short seller,
Partridge, carried the price downward very
ord, 54A for July. was made. Shortly be-
fore the close, however, the local crowd,
feeling that they had perhaps over
sold themselves, turned buyers, and
their efforts to cover reversed conditions
again. AT the tap OF the bell all OF to-day's
loss had been made up and an advance OF NC.
O. &C. over yesterday was added TO prices
Corn seesawed to day within a rather narrow
range. July sold between 35Ac and SIC;
closing at 37]4c037As, a slight appreciation
from yesterday. Cash corn was In less de.
mand than yesterday. Oats were steady,
firm, and at one time presented rather weak
tone The irregularity was purely a matter
Of sympathy with the other grain markets
and no significant trading took
place. Provisions-Ghe failure Of
e. Durham & Co. was responsible for
an unsettled and slightly nervous opening 70
produ-t. IL was very soon demonstrated that
his open contracts would not prove factor of
any Importance so the market righted itself
and became firm. The advices from the
yards were little better this morning. and
provisions rejected the feeling. The weak.
ness in wheat disturbed the strength, but q
rally succeeded, and the close was at moder-
ate gains all round July pork and lard each
closed SC higher, and July ribs 2Hc higher.
There was but little cash inquiry.
