CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, February 4.-The tone
and direction OF the wheat market to-day
were exactly the reverse OF whar they
were yesterday. There was scarcely one
hard spot throughout the session, and
holders who bought yesterday were anxi-
Gus sellers in most cases at a material
sacrifice. The market opened at a loss OF
from 10 Csc. from the closing figures
OF yesterday A story TO the effect that
large quantities OF wheat were to be
moved from the Northwest to this place
was a very important consideration with
the trade. and induced considerable SELL
ing. The market was depressed during
close was almost at the inside
May wheat opened at from CS 3-Sd67c..
sold between 81 5-s and IS he. and closed
wheat was 1q1 lie. per busheI lower.
Corn displayed more willingness 10 de-
cline with wheat than Ii did to advance
with IT, AT the same time the business
was not large. II Is said that large ship
ments OF corn have lately been made
from Newport News, which have not ap- |
peared in the official cearances.
May corn opened at 30 3-4c.. declined |
10 80 1900 l-ic, and closed al 20 Lie |
l-2n5-sc. under yesterday. Cash corn was !
steady. closing weaker.
The. same relative conditions existed in /
oats as in corn. sympathy with wheat |
was the depressing circumstance. May /
oats closed 3-Sq1-2c- under yesterday. |
Cash oats were weak. declining lie, /
whilst trading was in progress. closing /
weaker.
Provisions-Packers sold product, and /
commission-men, acting for their coun-
try clients. did likewise. There was not |
much stability TO the market az sny time. |
The weakness OF wheat told very seri- |
ously on the sentiment. and as nogs we're
there, buyers found nothing but dis
confronting them.
AT the close May pork was &c under |
yesterday. May lard IL i-sc. lower May
