CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. May H.-Another slump In
the price Of wheat took place to-day.
AT III. opening and for the greater por-
ton OF the first two hours of trading tnere
was a fairly steady tone To the market,
but not by any means that appearance
which denotes strength or ability 10 rise
There was not much activity In the trdhe
during thu early part OF the DAY. p9t
the last fifteen minutes more than maue
up for any SHORTCOMINGS IN Una. u,'ee
ton There were many Influences az
work. the most powerful one apparently
being the entire absence or export nc-
mand. which the abnormally low price
was expected to bring forth. AT the close
OF business II was reported thau o,iy
three loads had been bought, ana chicago
had nothing in that line to its credit
Parlridge's selling started a break md
way In the session, and each succeeding
break Increased the weakness. Then Par
bridge leisurely covered without checkins
IN. decline one house was rlval OF the
"bigh-roller'' on the selling side.
The range on July wheat was between
1857 U57c. and 55s.c., and the close was at
5i&,n55I5c-a net loss OF ll2c. for the day
cash wheat was In good demand from
millers and mixers. Offerings were hght
and prices relatively lower, with the iu-
corn made a play Of strength, at the
opaning, and for quite period after
wards. The break In wheat was TOO much
for IL. however. and the market nnaliy
assumed a less firm appearance The July
range was between - and 3Il4c.. ana the
close was at the inside-a loss OF lzc.
for the day. ,,
Oats-Light receipts and some unfa.
yorable crop news caused oats 10 cut
loose from wheat and corn: AT the close
July was a shade higher than yesterday,
while May and June were ltD%sc. lower.
Ther. was good cash demand. win
prices iac. lower. A..
Provisions conditions all over the
door were against any advance In product
specuIatiyely. So were the dispatches
from the stock-yards, which quoted an
other decline I'm live hogs. The business
VAS light. and prices had very little sup
mort Al the close July pork was pc
lower: July lard l2l2c. lower. and July
ribs 5I5lzc lower.
