Chicago, Feb. 1.-The stock of wheat
and flour at Liverpool increased to the
10000 sacks of the latter during the month
Of January, and This market opened weak
and lower in consequence OF that fact
and showed additional declines later on
the engagement Of S5,0OO0O0 in gold for
shipment by to-morroW's steamer The
bulls argued their side of the question
from the standpoint OF PROBABILITY thar
the President would act a reasonable
prOmptness in the matter Of Issuing
bonds. There were rumors of something
having been done by the cabinet to-day
but they were denied later as were like
wise reports that the Rothschilds were
negotiating for a purchase of the entire
issue Of the proposed bonds. AILer noon,
prices rallied on this gossip and on the
talk of cash business at ST. Louis. New
York wa weak during the morning, but
recovered with Chicago. May wheat
opened from 52Ss to 52i5c, sold between
52Stc and 53A q 533s c--clOsing at 53lsq53Ac-
&c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was weak and AMiac lower.
Shorts" regretted an over-con-
hdence which they displayed during the
morning, when they endeaVored to buy
in the stuff after noon and found the
market comparatively bare of offerings.
The turn in wheat caused the revulsion
in the feeling. The stock in corn has
increased $4,000 bushels. May corn
opened at AZ to 427sc, sold between 424q
427sc and 439se, closing at 43l2c-5sc higher
than yesterday Cash corn was AQ12c
lower closing nominally firmer.
Oats-There were less oats during the
last hour of trading than before that
period The motive in the action of the
market came entirelv from wheat and
corn at all times The close was firm
and a shade higher than yesterday for
Nav. Cash oats were weak, at q decline
of Ad1zc, but participated nominally in
the Strength of the futures.
Provisions-A decline in provisions at
the start the outcome of lower quotations
in liveyhogs at the yard, was partially re-
covered at the close. 1t was but a small
interest shown in the business, the trading
being of an ordinary character At the
close. MAY pork was sc lower than yester-
day; May lard shade lower and May
Heading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
