Chicago Markets.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1l.-Pardridge made vigorous
effort to remove the bullish favor from the wheat
market previous TO the commencement OF the
regular session. He sold enough the open
board to crush the price of Nay wheat TO 5S1sc
and 5614c, and had some for sale on the regular
board at the same price. Some of the scalpers
toak sides with the big bear trader but there
were buying orders enough to take all the early
offerings, and at from 6s1s9o514e up TO 6S3sc,
and when these were exhausted to continue buy
ing until the price advanced 90 5S5s@5Ss4c.
There was OF that point general unloading of
and expor fair y liberal, while reports of good
inquiry for cash wheat were numerous aud foreign
markets were generally firm. Despite the bullish
the liberal selling continued TO the end of
the session. and May closed at 561sc.
Corn was very hrm during the greater part OF
sold for near the opening. May opened at from
4sc to 4S15c and declined ssc closing at 477sc.
A GOOD many fail orders for oats were brought
out at the opening. Requirements were filed and
with few buyers the price very soon fell of to
est prices of May pork were only SC apart. Lard

commission house estimated the receipts OF hogs
some of the weakness which prevailed. but pack
