CHICAGO, April 28.-Speculation was in
waiting mood today in the wheat
market. Compared with closing prices OF
the day before there wss quarter of a
cent decline. Corn was limp and lost half
OF its previous value. Provisions could
not stand the amount of short selling
which was done and closed lower.
Trading in May wheat was relegated to
secondary position. such business as was
done in it being confined entirely to
buying in or selling out Of previous
contracts. The market was without
feature and the fluctuations were limited
to Z cent in both May and July. Dizziness
was again coupled with weakness In the
corn pit. The most favorable conditions
prevailing, together with the pros pects OF
increasing receipts caused the weakness.
Scarcity of new business and the disincli-
nation OF traders to change their positions
accounted for the dullness. The lowest
point of the day prevailed at the close.
The weakness in the other mar
kets influenced oats to some ex-
tent. Hess took quite a fair amount
of May as well as July. Bids for the lat
ter month were free during most Of the
session and comparatively steady feeling
existed, showing Il net decline of only at
the close, while the other deliveries were
from e to e cent off.
Provisions we're again weak on fear of
labor troubles. Compared with yester-
DAYS closing quotations, losses are shown
OF Ia to 10 in pork, ~ cents in lard aud
% cents in ribs.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
LIZ cars; corn. 156: oats. $50; hogs, "a, 900.
