Chicago, Jan. What a decrease In the
worlds visible supply would be, concerned
the speculative mind in wheat to-day. 1t
was very generally conceded that Brad
streets statement would not show an in
crease and short sellers were, in a meas
ure, cautious. When it was announced
that the report would not be issued to-day,
prices egded on little, but promptly re-
covered when they struck puts" Near
the end of the session the temptation to
sell was too great for the bears to resist,
more by reason of the stand New York
was taking-that contingent sending bull
news and at the same time disposing OF
Wheat-than because Of any new develop
ments in the southern, and inside figures
were reached at that time. Nav wheat
opened firm, 577sq57a4 577sc, sold between
cq57lzc-closing at the inside; IA
&c under Monday. Cash wheat steady
There was no confidence felt in corn,
and the weakness in wheat further empha-
sized the sinking tendency. The trade was
not important and the lack of support
gave short sellers the better Of the situa-
ton. May corn opened at 4sAc, declined to
4712c, and closed at 479sc-9sc under Mon
day. Cash corn was l4c per bushel lower.
Oats had no incentive to advance and
therefore suffered by the weakness of
wheat and corn. The trade was not large
or of particular moment. May closed at
31asc-14M$sc under Monday.
ProVisions-The hogs were too many
for the yards market this morning, and in
the natural course, product felt the
weight Of the heavy arrivals and late in
the day was further depressed by the esti-
mates of a large run for tomorrow. Some
of the packing concerns were rather free
sellers, but in the main the business was
not important. The close was 30G3012c, I'M
der Monday for May pork, 12ik015c lower
for May lard, and l2i2c lower for May ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
