wheat to-day was of a kind that tended
to discourage owners of that grain and
many parted with their holdings in dis
gust Prices, naturally, declined under
the circumstances although a partial re-
covery took place before the end Of the
session, which was due rather to the talk
ing by shorts of profits, than to renew
al of confidence in values. The opening
was at decline from Saturdays close,
large Black Sea shipments and lower Liv-
erpool cables, causing the weakness. At
ter that the selling was continuous and
persistent and. whilst there was fair buy
ing around 66 cents for May, 1t eventually
wheat opened from 66ssc to 669sc, sold be-
tween 669s@66&4c and 65Ssc, closing at 663sc
--AM7sc under Saturday. Cash wheat
was weak and lie lower.
News on corn was quite favorable to-
day and had It not been for the tendency
of wheat to decline, IL is very probable
an improvement in prices might have
taken place. AS IL was there was only
fraction. May corn opened at S0lsc
Light business was transacted in oats.
The action of the other grains was fol-
lowed in a perfunctory manner. May
oats closed~5 under Saturday. Cash oats
were one-fourth of a cent per bushel
lower
Provisions.-Lower hog price caused
lower product values this morning Some
buying orders came on the market right
at the opening, the effect of which was to
cause rally but when they were execu-
ted, dullness became the feature and the
weakness of wheat was the influence.
At the close May pork was 5Q7lzc under
Saturday: May lard and ribs each 2la low
er. Domestic markets were quiet and
easy.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest. Closing.
