Chicago, Feb. f9.-Wheat bulls had the
questionable consolation OF a miniature
bulge that did not hold to-day. 1t was not
from lack of bull news that the market
was suffering. but rather from the heavy.
but slightly decreasing stocks, the
and foreign, and the bearish senti-
ment which has assumed the character of
habit. The trifiing advance came from
reported heavy sales for export at New
York yesterday, which afterwards failed
of complete veriiication and from very
fair clearances from Boston Tire Baltic
indian and other sundry port shipments
were light at 23Gs 900 bushels. their small
ness being ascribed to difficulties Of navi-
cation at the present season. Bradstreet
reported decrease in the worlds visible
supply of 2,8S0,000 bushels, without practi-
cally moving prices. The weakness at the
opening WAS owing to the heavy receipts
in the northwest, $50 cars. MAY wheat
opened from 52lac to 52ikd52ssc, sold be-
tween Sc and 52isc, closing at the latter

dull without change in quotations.
Corn-The UPS and downs of corn were
not significant Of important trading but
were merely coincideat with those Of
wheat. The opening. was rather easy
strength succeeding, but weakness even
tually taking possession of the market.
Bradstreets' reported a decrease in the
available stocks Of 322, coo bushels MAY
corn opened from A47sc 70 44i51445sc. sold
between 4.sLd4z7sc and z4h044asc, closing
a the inside 40 under yesterday Cash
corn was firm and isQlzc higher. closing
nominally easy.
Oats chung tsnaciously to the one price,
&c Tor May, only advancing fraction
above and declining a fraction lower IN a
few instances. but finally closing al 2s7kc-
&c under yesterday The absence Of trade
explained the narroWneSs CT the range
the tone being derived from wheat and
corn Bradstrests reported g reduction IN
stocks OF 235,000 bushels. Cash oats were
&c per cent. bushel highe. closing easy.
