Chicago, May 5.-ihe wheat market had
lost all the enthusiasm that was so noticeable
yesterday by the opening this morning. Elk
pectations regarding the clearanceS from
both coasts as reported by Bradstrset'S were
far from being realized. Over 100000 bush
els was the minimum figure looked for
whereas the report only gave Z, 573 to- bushels.
which was but trifie more than the ship
ments of the previous week. cables did not
show that foreign markets had been in touch
with the advance Of yesterday. That was an
other weak point, as was also the fine grow
ing weather still prevailing throughout the
country. Less talk was heard OF delay TO
seeding in the northwest. from too much
moisture, and Of injury in the southwest from
insect life. The market showed a little firm
ness for few moments after a
weak start, but finally settled down
into a dull, declining session. Late
continental advlceS were irregular quoting
Berlin higher, Paris lower and Antwerp I'M
changed The cash market was steady.
There was tendency toward hardening OF
values for strictly choice grades of hard
spring, otherwise there was nothing
essentially changed. The opening was &c
lower than yesterdays close for July al 6lAc.
the range thereafter was between 602sM6)LS
and 59A, and the close was at a loss
OF sc for the day, July 60c. Receipts at the
principal western points were 2l0 90? bushels.
Shipments 6O5,9Sl bushels. Corn-Ihis mar
ket showed excessive dUllness, closing firm.
but soon becoming weak and dropping SO
little was done that prices ranged within
%c limit. The moderately good with
drawals from store, 15l,4Si bushels.
and the slightly smaller than expected re
ceipts, 1893 cars and 5000 bushels, were the
recognized reasons for the early hrmness,
and the decline of the wheat market was re
sponsiDle for the latter weakness. July sold
between 395t,cQpS914c, closing a shade lower
than yesterday at 80 y clLS91ac. Cash corn was
in moderate demand and light supply. with
prices ruling easy, but closing about
steady. Oats-The contested condition OF the
May delivery continues to be the feature in
oats. That option was strong at the start,
and although yess firm at the close, still pre-
served an advance over yesterdays final quo
tation No entEt is being made to engineer
an advance further than the reluctance of
holders to sell. The deferred deliveries were
easier In sympathy with wheat. Provisions
There was feinG at strength in the market
for product at the opening, prices
showing some advance, but il was short
lived. The weak less prevailing all over the
floor was too far reaching not TO have an
effect in provisions and they finally yielded.
The business had the appearance OF scalping,
nothing Of importance being seen. At the close
July pork was SC under yesterday, July lard
2IaQ5c lower and NJy ribs 21ac lower. There
was an improved cash demand for domestic
consumption, other accounts showing an alb
sence of activity.
