CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
! CHICAGO, ILL. January AFTER some
hesitation around the opening, the market
| elected n downward course. Most OF the
news heard was clearly in favor OF an ad-
vance. and had the crowd been in the
same humor as on Saturday different
| story might have TO be told the buyers
| OF that day were, however. hungry for
profits. and Partridge was much In evil
| dence as seller. -o-,
and 57sc.. and closed at 5Sc.-i4gssc. under
| Saturday Cash wheat was firm and hc:
| per bushel higher early, but later eased
off. and closed nominally isc. lower. +,
Corn--The weakness In wheat an IN
| crease Of 10000 bushels In the visible
supply, an increase of 10000 bushels in
| the amount on ocean passage, and con.
tinuatlon OF the good receipts were all
inducements to sell corn to-day. The mar
ket for that grade had nothing that could
really b. construed IN favor OF prices,
so they dropped back like those OF wheat:
May corn opened at EAc., sold between
| 4S and 47l5c, and closed at the inside-sg
&c. under Saturday. Cash corn was
steady. closing nominally weaker with
| the futures.
Oats-All the other grain markets being
| off and there being nothing TO assist,
| oats likewise fell away In sympathy. The
| business was but slight, and the range OF
prices narrow May oats closed Ag%sc
| lower than Saturday. Cash oats were
steady az Saturdays quotation.
MISUNDERSTANDING to some. weak
ness in hogs, products were easy, but the
demand seemed to be greater than were
the offerings, and a moderate rally soon
| took place after which prices held their
| own fairly well. At the close May pork
| was unchanged from Saturday: May lard
was 2i2c. higher, and May ribs SHADE
higher. .,.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
opening. Highest. Lowest Closing.
