corn at 251sc. May oats at 1880, Janu-
airy pork at 500. January lard at s4.071a
January ribs at So 471a.
Wheat has been nervously irregular.
with decidedly weak undertone, and
during the first hour sold nearly 1Ic
below the close yesterday, then re-
covered lie before noon, lost &c and held
for a considerable time around &c,
where the close yesterday had been
674c.
The main cause of the weakness was
the heavy Russian shipments, which
were fully 100000 bu larger than the
week previous. making the total worlds
movement for the week over 100000
blu, or 100000 bu larger than the week
before and 100000 bu larger than the
corresponding week last year.
The large Russian movement was
hardly compatible with the bad crop
advices which have been received from
that country and led to some realizing.
Liquidation and short selling. The
Liverpool cable came decidedly higher
some of the dispatches making the ad-
vance 115d-but the advance was said
to have checked the demand.

down to 6624c and at noon was about
&c. May sold at 697s @7Oc split to Tic
and off to 70Ac.

and the average was the same to a frac-
tion better than it closed yesterday.
May corn sold early at 251sc. weakened
to 2535c. then up to 2524c but at noon
was 2515@2556 split.
The market ruled quiet and rather
easy during the last hour and May sold
to 2515c and held around that figure.
Oats wers firm under good inquiry,
largely from the elevator interest, and
we're also helped by the firmness in corn.
May has sold at 19A@193sc split up to
195s@1924c split and at noon was 1896.
The market ruled quiet and easy, May

January ribs. s3.471s@3.50 split to 49,
5215.
There was not much trade during the
closing hour, with prices showing little
change.
In diplomatic circles in Constantine
pie it is considered that the "acute cri.
CHS" is over. There is assurances that the
Ambassadors will accept the status quo.
Perfect tranquility reigns in the city. A
Constantinople dispatch to prominent
Berlin paper says that the diplomats in
the Turkish capital have been instructed
to suspend their conferences on the Ar
menian question, as direct negotiations
are pending between the Porte and the

against the Armenian atrocities was
wired to the Sultan at Constantinople.
In restrained and dignified article
on the Armenian question the Gazette
