Chicago, ILL.,. May 2.-lhe market for wheat
was not broad one to-day. There were two
very weak spots in it, but the predominating
tone was from steady to trm, the net result
OF the trade being loss of AGA sc in the
price. The start was weak and there seemed
to be determined effort to freak values
They were forced below puts within the
first fifteen minutes, but rebounded with
decided vim. From that time until very
near the close when another dip occurred
there was good tone to the market The
crowd bought too much wheat. and suhse.
Quently sold out, causing the late decline
The close was steady with the loss mentioned
ABOVE. Corn. although not particularly act
i've, was strong throughout. Shorts found
reason for covering their open trades in the
fact that one party absorbed all the May
deliveries OF yeSterda y. Outside Of this in
huence there was nothing remarkably bullish
in the situation. Business was entirely of a
| local chat Letter. July sold between 39ISc and
| 3o5sc, and closed &c higher than Yesterday at
| 3S$c. There was fair demand for cash corn
prices ruling about &c lower and closing
steady Oats were strong. shorts seemed
to force the market up on themselves Cash
oats were steady. The close on futures was
about ~ higher than yesterday. Provisions
were in a state bordering on stagnation
| throughout the entire session. The opening
weakness was the result of a decline in prices
| for live hogs at the yards. Business was ex-
| tremely light, and the tendency of values was
| toward a lower level. There was practically
no support for the market The close was 2Oc
| lower than yesterday for July pork, and lOc
| lower for July ribs and lard.
