CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. ILL, Feb, 2S.-The wheat
market settled back into its slow, drag
ging condition to-day, with the short
sellers more disposed to take new risks
and the believers in better prices not so
confident in their assertions or action
The French situation seemed TO have
lost its merit, advices from that country
not partaking so much Of sensational
tone and quotations for the futures at
Paris being low. Spot wheat and flour
were higher, but quotations differed as
to the extent Of the advance. There
was no strength TO the opening here,
but shortly afterwards there was little
buying, induced by the Cincinnati Price
Current and by predictions, OF cold
did not last, however, the crowd having
evidently taken too much wheat, and
their Willingness to sell not meeting with
even fair demand ater, prices fell
away slowly but surely. May wheat
opened from B1sc. to 53& n3hc.. sold
between $500 $3.50. and 5iHc., closing
at 6}4c., AQ-hC. under yesterday. Cash
wheat was steady early, closing 4c lower.
COrn-1his market moved quietly ana
without unusual activity i'm the course
defined by wheat There was but a slim
attendance of brokers and traders. Taken
on an average, there was more Of weak
ness than of strength TO prices. ana
the close was fully l9c lower than that
of yesterday. The predictions of diff
iculty In moving corn I'm the interior,
on account o: bad roads. did not seem
to have any weight to-day, and the re-
ceipts show no extraordinary falling off
from that condition Of affairs May
corn opened at 451Sc., sold between 44Ss
Q1434c. ana 45LQ4Jkc., closing at 4f3sd
4iAc., with the loss already mentioned
Cash corn ruled from steady TO nc. lower,
closing at the inside
Oats-There was no noticeable differ
ence in the character and tone of the
oats and corn markets. Whilst not
huctuating quite as much as corn. oats,
nevertheless, fully responded to the
changes of tone in that grain May
closed Ne. lower than yesterday and
the cash marked suffered to the extent
of &c.
Notwithstanding frmer and slightly
higher than they closed yesterday. Pro-
duet showed further appreciation on
the buying of the Cudahy Packing Com
pany and Of the scalpers. When prices
had made fair gain, 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 were due
to this selling: At the close May pork
was Zoe. higher than Yesterday, May lard
and ribs each &c. higher Domestic mar
kets were steady. LIVERPOOL was dull.
