CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET
CHICAGO ILL. May 2e-This being
the last trading day of the week, as well
as of the month. and being just prior to
holiday, the feeling In the speculative
grain and provision markets was not
very energetic. Most OF the transacti99ns
were simply for the purpose Of rounding
up previous deals. and beyond showing
which was the most involved interest,",
presented nothing significant. 1t was EVIL
dent from the position OF prices at tne
greater than by shorts. July wheat open
ed at from 50 SIS 10 80 3-ic, and declined
to and closed at 81 7-Sc.-3-ic. under yes
terday. Cash wheat was weak, closing
IL to lc. under yesterday.
Corn.-The trade I'm corn was particular
" slow and Indifferent to-day. The dull
ness was naturally incident TO the final
session of the week and TO the advent or
a holiday. Prices were hard and SOFT as
the feeling i'm wheat was firm or weak.
At the close a decline was noted. and
lower values.
July corn opened at 2s S-sc.. and de-
clned to u 7-Sd2Sc. where 1t closed-3-sc.
under yesterday. Cash corn was steady
with the close nominally weak. i'm line
with the futures.
Oats-The business I'm oats did not
vary materially from what IL has been.
Shorts covered some and holders liqui-
dated, but the outside was conspicuous by
its absence. The tone was a fairly steady
one af the close hut easy and lower July
oats closed 1-SHi-4c under yesterday.
Cash oats sold at steady prices, closing
easy.
Professionalism a slight betterment In
the hog market product improved a little
this morning. but prices were far from be-
ing strong. The buying which caused the
advance was mainly OF provisions already
sold, and therefore was not substantial.
Declines in all articles took place. July
pork closed % 1-2c. lower: July lard l0c.
lower, and July ribs l0ul2 lie. lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
