chicago, May Wv heat is making rapid
strides In the direction of the low level
of prices, which prevailed previous to the
great bulge Of the spring OF 1898. To-day
/ bulls and bears alike, the talent looking
/ for rally tins morning. IL being thought
/ natural for prices TO recover at least a
small part Of the regent loss July opened
and 5Sss0 08l2c, closing al 5S9sft53 c-at C
under yesterday. Cash wheat was lower
and dun.
Corn-The movement of corn from the
country was good and the signs are that
II IS likely TO keep up. This was de-
pressing influence, but the wheat market
proved a greater one. Early the better
/ feeling in the leading market was of SER
vice in steadying The tone of corn. but
eventually there was little strength APP
parent. July corn opened at 2Sizc, sold be-
/ tween 2S3s023siC and 2S3sc, closing AT zS24W
| 25lac-1sUt4c under yesterday. Cash corn
was steady whilst trading was inactive,
| but the c.ose was nominally weak and
quarter lower, TO agree with the futures.
Oats were affected solely by the action
of wheat and corn. Early less OF weak
/ ness was noted and shorts were inclined
/ TO cover. At the close. the reverse was
| the case. July cats closed unchanged from
/ yesterday. cash oats were steady to ilrW.
PrOvisiOns-On the average provisions
/ were weak, although lard showed symp-
/ toms Of raEying a little The impression
! that this article is entitled TO more con
/ sideratiOn than il has been receiving has
/ taken possession Of the mind of the doc
! tors and it led to some buying to-day.
/ Pork and ribs continued to display the
/ same weakness as recently, however, and
] they were lower early. The hog market
! was weak. Towards the close there was
! a moderate all round recovery, everything
resting in slightly better position than
/ yesterday. july pork and lard each clos
! ed 2l2Q5 cents higher and July ribs, PIC
/ higher
The leading futures were as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. Closing.
