CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, May S.-What condition the
government will give out on Thursday
Is now the all-important topic in the
wheat market. An Irregular but fairly
tainty to-day: The tip that it would be
bearish was industriously circulated. but

start and afterwards there was nothing
seen that was calculated to reverse the
conditions. July pork closed nc. under
