Chicago Market.

Chicago. H.. March 23-A possibility
that something bullish might be evolved
from the Mondays statistics on wheat
produced assisted the market for that
grain at the opening. but as the day adj
vance and nothing in tho news dcvcl-
opcd favorably, prices sank lower and
at the close. they were weak, at inside
figures. materially lower than Satur-
days close
Corn opened quiet and steady. but
soon swung into line with wheat The
loss for the day was not important. but
II was sufficient to demonstrate the alb
serce of individual strength Business
was moderately active AT times. but
the long intervals of stagnation made
the total trade light
Cits-The weakness OF wheat was
fully reflected in oats. with a possible
addition to the speculation of an unim-
portant sort. An increase in the visi-
BILE supply of IA 900 bushels was very
discouraging to holders. who offered
their property very freely.
Provisions prices suffered quite as
much as in grain. The market was
steady for a while AT the opening. Con
idence in product has been shaken too
much. however, and buyers were. there
fore. difiident. The offerings were SUI
perior to the demand to-day and de-
clines throughout the list resulted
