Chicago, March 5.-There was not quite
so much anxiety and interest IN the French
wheat crop, neither here or abroad to-
day and with but a very ordinary amount
of activity, prices lost some of the late
appreciation. Liverpool sounded the key
note by declining 12d in the spot opening
cables, the closing ones reported no inn
proVement. With this guide and with
heavy receipts in the northwest, 557 cars,
there was a poor start, and the after-trad-
ing had very little announcement in IL
for holders. The crowd were disposed to
play for a decline, some of the heavy
weights selling moderately. Private
cables were all of the same tenor, discOun-
tenancing the damage reports and men
tioning more liberal offerings. The board
furnished exports sales stories, but very
little reliance was placed in them. Paris
cables were higher for wheat and lower
for flour. Berlin was higher and Paris I'M
changed. The Baltic and Indian shipments
amounted to PISA 900 bushels, which added
to American exports, fell considerably
short of importing countries require
ments. May wheat opened 54l3m549sc, sold
between 549sc and 5434c and SAC, closing
Cash wheat was easier,
Corn-The hardness and softness of corn
came from wheat, and the activity which
was of a very moderate character, came
from the scaIping operations of the pit
traders. Values changed slowly and with
i'm a limited range, the closing being at the
same quotations as yesterdays. The firm
est period succeeded the announcement of
the estimate of but rs cars for tomorrow,
and il was the only time when the ale
glance to wheat was discarded. Cables
were easier. May corn opened at 4434c, sold
between 45c and 445sc. closing at 445sc,
without gain or loss from yesterday. Cash
corn was Ad15c per bushel higher, owing
to a scarcity of offerings.
Oats-At no time to-day did oats show
radical changes from yesterday. The tri-
fling fluctuations that took place were due
to the variations in wheat and corn. May
closed a shade under yesterday. Cash oats
we're strong to &c per bushel higher.
Provisons-There was some selling of
provisions early by the packers, with
Cudahy leading, that converted a steady
opening market to one with less strength
Covering by shorts brought about a rally
but the weakness Of wheat was instrument
tai in causing selling before the close
with final recessions in prices. The close
was 712c lower than Yesterday for May
pork and 21kc lower each for May lard
and May ribs. Domestic markets were
quiet.
