Chicago Jan. u.-Wheat was firm at the
opening, and weak at the close, with most
trading taking place a. steady prices about
midday between the highest and lowest
The general trade was inclined TO base its
operations on large export clearanc es
from both coasts for there We're 3,471 600
bushels. and on higher cables with the ad-
ditional circumstance of &c decline in
British consols. 1t was a fact worthy of
note however, that the professional SEN
ument did not favor appreciation in val
ues, owing to the dying out of the war fe-
yer and that local scalpers were almost
without exception free sellers. May wheat
opened from 6y1sc to 593tc sold between
Coo and 59Ad593sc closing at 59c-LGssc
under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
Corn-The principal movement in corn
prices during to-day's session took place
near the close, and was in downward Gi-
rectlon.- Previous to that time very little
change occurred and scarcely any BUSH
ness was transacted. The news contained
nothing of sufficient moment TO occasion
any radical alteration in value and the
closing weakness was due to the decline
in wheat ct the same time. May corn
opened at 2S3sc. sold between 2s7s9f29 and
2Sl2c, closing at 2S42d2SSsc-AdSsc under
yesterday. Cash corn was steady at I'M
changed prices
Oats-A little activity in oats Just prior
to the close resulted in a fractional de-
cline but before that time there was but
very moderate volume of business at
steady prices. The decline was through
sympathy with the leading markets. May
oats closed sc under yesterday. Trading
in cash oats was at unchanged figures.
Provisions-At the beginning of Jle ses-
sion and a few moments after provisions
displayed a tendency to remain firm, but
offerings soon asserted force and COM
PEELED reeessions. The business was Of a
half holiday order dull and unimpOrtant
At the close May pork was TIC under yes
terday. May lard at TIC lower ana May
ribs 2iac, lower Domestic markets were
quiet and unchanged
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
