Chicago, Jan. q, Noon.-The market
opened for wheat, May, sac; corn, May,
ribs, May, $5.5O4552i5
Chicago, Jan. H.-Saturday's advances
in wheat was a great surprise to the
trade, but to-days decline was a greater
one The crowd was primed for boom
this morning, instead of which they got
q. break. Armour was again a factor,
but he was on the other side of the mar
ket from Saturday. His sales were large
and openly made. There was quite a
number of country buying orders in the
hands OF commission men at the open
ing, the execution of which gave prices
a lift at that time, but thereafter the
offerings were largely in excess Of the
capacity of the market to absorb. the
inevitable result of which was a steady
decline, with the close at about the in
from 657sc 10 66isc, declined to 6th6643sc,
closing at 64ssc, nc under Saturday.
Cash wheat was 1c per bushel lower
Corn was heavy from the start, even
the brief respite given to wheat at the
opening having no effect in sustaining
this market The anticipations of a big
increase in the visible supply was de-
pressing influence and their realization
communicated further weakness at the
time the announcement was made May
corn opened from Bic to 303sc, declined to
Doc, closing at 30lt301sc, &c under Sat
urday. Cash corn was steady
The course of prices in oats was SIM
liar to that of wheat and corn, and was
inspired by the other grains. The sem
timent did not favor any improvement
in the face of declining values in other
speculative articles. May cats closed &c
under Saturday. Cash oats were steady
with no essential change in prices.
The news from the yards this morning
to the effect that hogs were 1GG015c higher
100 pounds increased buying of product
but the excitement and weakness in wheat
finally made itself felt here, as in other
parts of the market, and the early gain
was lost. At the close May pork was un-
changed. May lard 2i5c higher. May ribs,
a shade higher. Domestic markets were
firm, and foreign steady.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
