Chicago. Jan. 4-YestcrIay's closing
boom was found missing at the opening of
the wheat market to-day. No particular
reason was given for the reversal of tone
except that there was no tangible excuse
Tor the bulge and that it could not hold
ne oHerlngs were in excess of the demand
ana a loss Of lsdi4c at the start was fol-
lowed by a further decline of Hn3sc. 4
rally then set in,.which carried prices back
70 the opening point, around which they
hung during the balance of the session
shorts lending the buying. May wheat
opened a 5Issc, sold between 51AW573sc
ana ot9sN5"4c, closing at 5f205fss c-Ac
under yesterday; Cash wheat did not
change essentially.
Corn followed wheat in most Of the vari-
ations of that market. although the pre-
dominating inclination was to sell. May
corn opened from f15.c to 4Ii6C, sold be
tween 4l4sc and 415sN473tC, closing at 47l2C
-lsdAc below the final figures Of yester-
day. Cash corn was quiet and steady.
The sensation of the day In oats came
within a few minutes of the close, when
large elevator concern disposed of a line
aggregating 100000 bushels of May. The
crowd was unprepared for the heavy offer
ings and the demand was inadequate to
the occasion. Prices dropped to &c be-
low yesterdays close. Where they rested
at the end Of the session. Cash oats were
quoted 14c lower
provisions-Product was weak and lower
during the first hour OF the session, the
heavy run of hogs at the yards affecting
prices detrmentally, but upon an attempt
being made TO buy pork by the Cudahy
Packing Company of Omaha, the crowd
pleasantly bid the price up, no difficulty
being experienced in forcing an advance
of 30 cents from the inside, owing TO the
narrow character of the market a recess
sion from the top took place before the
close. Lard and ribs kept in line with
pork. May pork gained 12i2c for the day;
May lard Zoe. and May ribs 7aHl0c.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest Lowest. Closing.
