Chicago, Feb. 2s-The wheat market
settled back into it's slow dragging cond-
ton to-day with the short sellers that
disposed to take new risks and the be-
levers in better prices not so confident in
their assertions or action. The French sit
uatiOn seemed to have lost It's merit, ad-
much of a sensationally bullish tone and
quotations for the futures at Paris being
lower Spot wheat and flour We're higher,
but quotations differed as to the extent of
the advance There was no strength to the
opening here. but shortly afterwards there
was a little buying, induced by the Gin
cinnati Price Current. and by predictions
of cold wave in the west and northwest.
The firmness did not last however, the
crowd having evidently taken too much
wheat. and their willingness to sell, not
ffraev Will fol ia a TtlF
prices fell away slowly but surely. May
wheat opened from 531sc to 53Ad537sc sold
between 539sM53Ac, and 54l4c, closing at
5394 c-40besc unoer yesterday. Cash wheat
was steady early. closing i4c lower.
Corn-This market moved quietly and
without unusual activity in the course de-
fined by wheat. There was but a slim at
tendance of brokers and traders Taken
on an average, there was more of veal k
ness than of strength to prices, and the
close was fully &c lower than that of yes
terday There were predictions Of difficulty
in moving corn in the interior on account
of bad roads. but the receipts show no
extraordinary falling off from that condi-
tin of affairs. May opened 451kc, sold be-
tween 445s044hc and Asa G945$sc, closing at
H3sGI44%c, with the loss already mem
toned. Cash corn ruled from steady to
&c lower. closing az the inside
tOats-There was no noticeable difference
IN the character and tone of the oats and
corn markets. Whilst not fuctuatng
quite as much as corn, oats, nevertheless,
fully responded to the change of tone Of
that grain. May closed &c lower than
Yesterday and the cash market suffered
to the extent of 4 of cent.
Provisions-Opening firmer and slightly
higher than they closed yesterday. prod
duct showed further appreciation on the
buying of the Cudahy Packing Company
and of the scalpers. When prices had
made a fair advance the latter element
undertook to dispose OF that which they
purchased, but found the market unable
to take the offerings without yielding.
The recessions, that followed we're due
to this selling At the close. May pork
was Joe higher than yesterday; May lard
and ribs each sc higher. Domestic mar
kets steady. Liverpool was dun
