Chicago. May -, noon.-The market
opened for wheat, May, 625sc; corn, May.
25hc; pork. July, T62h; lard. July, &62l4;
Chicago. May is.-Holders Of wheat did
not fare 30 well to-day as they did yes
terday. The market presented scarcely
anything In the strength, and although
damage stories galore were 0noat, they
were Of little use. The declaring Of all
Armour elevators irregular had the effect
M
did not produce particular alarm among
importers. The market closed very near
the inside and with no indications of
revival of strength. July wheat opened
from 64Ac, sold between 649s463Ac closing
at G3ss 063izc-9sc under yesterday. Cash
wheat was easy and &c per bushel lower.
Corn-A temporary period OF firmness
was noted at the opening OF the market
for corn, but the strength speedily gave
that wheat would furnish no assistance to
prices. The business was nothing out OF
the ordinary and was distinctly local in
its character Value declined moderate
ly, and the close were little above the
lowest of the session. July corn opened
from 307sc to 30lAc declined to 29AM295sc,
closing at 291sc--4salac under yesterday.
Cash corn was easy and Ac lower than
yesterday.
Oats had a very good trade to-day, the
undertone Of firmness remarked yester-
day being still in evidence. The exports
were credited with having a large share
in producing the strength. Shorts dis
played a lack or confidence ana covered
with freedom. July oats closed nc under
yesterday Cash oats were firm at yester-
days prices.
Professionalism a time just after the
opening, product presented a steady tone
at practically unchanged quotations, bur
when late reports giving a weak feeling
with &c decline in hog prices were re-
ceved, the tone weakened and prices fell
away in sympathy. July pork closed sc
lower than yesterday, lard PIC lower anu
ribs 21AGt5c lower.
The leading futures were as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
