Chicago, April 22.-The weather bureaus
weekly bulletin was out this morning.
confirming the encouraging inform alton
previously received, and wheat holders re-
sumed their selling at the opening of the
market this morning. Short sellers help
ed along the decline in prices, and very
early quotations were materially under
the close of yesterday. Some reference
has lately been made to the foreign crop.
and comment the fact ba
news has been received were freely made.
the opinion generally existing that the
axiom, mo news is good news" is ap-
plicable in the premises. During the last
hours trading reports of export
business of greater or less mag
nitude arrived from New York and those
who had sold short early deemed it ex-
pedient to cover the buying, reinstating
prices in about the position occupied at
the opening. July wheat opened from
643s to 641sc, sold 641kq6414c and 63ikc-clos-
ing at 641sq644c-1sGAc under yesterday
Cash wheat ruled easy to a shade lower
Corn-In so far as was possible, within
the extremely limited range of prices pre-
vailing in corn, that grain moved in
the same direction as wheat. The weak
ness, which governed the action of the
leading market early, resulted in loss
to corn, and the subsequent rally caused
a recovery with some irregularity in the
interim. Traders. evinced little interest
in the market, however, and the total
of the days business was very light.
May corn opened at 291zc, sold at 29asc,
closing at 29hc-unehanged from yester-
day. Cash corn was steady.
Oats were quiet and inactive The
market from its'lifeless condition attract
ed little attention from the outside the
bulk of the moderate trade being for spe-
cialties and local orders. May closed a
shade under yesterday. Cash oats were
easy and nc lower
Provisions-The hog market was visited
with an over-supply this morning, the
effect being seen In a decline in prices at
the yards, and through that
fact a depreciation product. Bust
ness was fairly active but
at generally lower prices A recovery, in
sympathy with wheat, took place late
in the session, but the full enhancement
failed to be sustained. May pork, lard
and ribs each closed 2l9 cents under yes
terday. Domestic and foreign markets
were unchanged.
