CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL.,. May E.-Wheat had
quite a broad range to-day-3 5-sc.--out
II was made by comparison with the
Wild. runaway markets OF last week The
first haif-hour's trading had somewhat
the appearance OF another boom. but the
demand played out before prices we're
well under way for an advance, adter
prices began 20 fall OF, and about the
middle Of the session Il was positively
dull Country orders at the opening were
10 buy, but when II became patent that
shrewdest of the farmer contingent sold
out Crop receipts were stil or the
g.oomy kind, but by their very monotony
they began 10 lose force. Some few
houses had adyices Of a more cheering pa
tnre, their correspondents claiming that
the fros;s did not cause serious injury.
The announcement OF decrease or llie,..
0co bushels IN the visible supply steaaieu
prices for a time, but when II was lost
sight OF. the market again moved down.
ward July wheat opened al from 81 Ia
to 50 he, sold betwsen Il 81 and ~ l-se.,
and closed at Is 3-fc.--3 Sic. under satuf-
day. Cash wheat sold nj steady prices
but the nominal price was i-sc. l0wef'
with the futures
claim that stocks OF corn ~ the country
were on the eve of exhaustion, and we're
unable 10 exelain the present movement.
To-day there were .3l3 cars received,
where $50 were predicted or them, Llu
we're graded No. 2, which speaks we'd
for the quality. Prices OF the sraln
readily Yielded g selling n :, Js1g s s',,n
down 10 SC Lee. and closed al 81 49,
/ i-se. lower than saturday. Cash corn
was ~ 10 a-sc per bushel lower
)ats~yhe early nrnness az wheat gave
out some strength, tbs long people taking
the opportunity 20 sell some " their pro-
pcrty. With the decline In other Greins
tbs market showed full accord July
Cash oats were easy az saturdays prices
