Chicago. May / WI suffered from an
unexpected break today. There had been
too much during the past few days, and
everybody seemed to Re fixed for a bulge In
anticipation Of the bullish government re-
port, instead Of which the crowd were treated
to genuine surprise in the form OF a weak
and declining market. There was some good
buying near the closes much OF II by holders
OF puts" July opened at 59cc, declined to
59i6c, and closed at bjiA059Ac, a net loss of
&c for the day. Corn-1he corn market de-
chned under free offerings by receivers

! Tree and shorts" are recovering their cour-
age. At the close May was &c

was firm and higher. Consequently "a like
tone was shown by provisions The best buy
ing of the day was by the Cudahys, and their
purchases constituted the only feature in
the dull market. July pork closed Sc higher
July lard 7!ac higher and July ribs Sc higher
There was fairly good cash demand for
home consumption but other accounts we're
