Chicago May 25.-The bulls in wheat ex-
| perienced another reverse in the form of
| a drop Of cent IN prices to-day. Some eX-
! port business was transacted at the sea-
| board on Saturday, that ahordlng mold
| ers some consolation and the talk was chat
| buying of that sort would hereafter be tie
| rule, and not the exception. The presump-
| ton proved misleading, however, and IN
| the disappointment which resulted much
| wheat went overheard to-day, the effect
| appearing in the break which took pla &c.
| At the opening and until noon the feeling
| was steady many traders believing thar
| the bottom, for the present at least had
been reached but from u o'clock until the
| close the sentiment was weak. Shortly
| before the close inside quotations were
sold between 6lHm6l$sc and Coo, closing 81
| 6CAc-5sc under Saturday. Cash wheal
| was steady early, but the close was weak
! and PC lower. Corn was affected only by
| the ruling tone of wheat. The feeling was
therefore, steady to firm early and weah
| later The trade, however, was not unu-
| sually brisk or noteworthy
July corn opened at 291sc, sold at 2824c
closing at 28A028sc-1z03sc under SatGr-
day. Cash corn sold at steady prices, clos
ing &c per bushel lower.
Oats lacked energy of action, and, dur.
ing the morning, were steady to firm. bur
towards the close presented a weak tone
their relationship, speculativcly, with
wheat, defining the course of prices The
trade was moderate and was of a genera
local character July oats closed 3sc TN.
der Saturday. Cash oats were steady
closing easy and nomnally nc lower
ProVisions-The hog market was not OK
actly weak this morning, but that il was
| not strong was construed adversely when
applied to product. At first provisions
| were moderately steady but fair, offerings
and no demand resulted On loss in prices

| July lard 121AQ15c lower, and July ribs ~
010c lower; domestic markets quiet and
