Chicago, May 16-Yesterday wheat broke
with the news nearly all bullish; to-day, the
market with like inconsistency advanced,
under conditions that are ordinarily consid-
cred conducive TO a decline. Why the course
of prices should be in direct opposition to the
trend of the advlces was enigmatical to the
trade. who finally accepted the situation in
the light OF natural recovery from the, of
late, depressed state of the market. There
was very little feature to the trade At the
opening, which was weak and lower, Lamson
Bros. & Co. were the best buyers and their
purchases extended throughout the session.
Armour was credited with selling
some, so was Partridge, whilst Linn,
the heaviest seller yesterday, was set down
as buyer to-day. The situation in cash
wheat remained unchan ed Offerings we're
light and the usual demand existed. Prices
did not show any radical change. July wheat
ranged from SIC to 564c, closing at 56B057c,

very weak. The hog market was very much
demoralized and II was not to be expected
that product would hold up under the circum-
stances Later in the session however the
depression wore of and prices rallied in sym

pretence of supporting the market but
there was no pressure of offerings. July pork
