Chicago, Dee Slater a short session,
marked by considerable irregularity,
wheat closed H@ssc higher than yester-
day. The trading was characteristleally
a closing up kind, with very little new
business transacted, even by the scalpers.
The longs Equidated early in the day, the
shorts covered up later the incentive TO
strength in the last half found in large
export clearances CS3, l27 bushels, most of
which went out from New York, and in
reports of returning gold TO this country,
with rumors of a large loan being made
by the government
Corn-rhe sentiment of traders, was
averse to eXertion inconsistent with tho
holiday spirit. Corn opened at 2S1sc, sold
between &c and 2SlsG23Ac, closing at I'M
changed from yesterday. Cash corn was
weak and l50l1 per cent. bushel lower
Tho oct market existed and that was
the best that could be said of it. There
was some trading, but not enough 10
arouse interest or attract unusual atten-
ton. The feeling was about steady the
ruling quotations being the same as at
the close of yesterday. May oats closed
a shade higher than yesterday. cash oats
were quiet and easy
Provisions were perfectly willing to ac-
company grain on the downward course,
inasmuch as they were adversely inhu-
enced by a weak hog market, but they
failed to exhibit any recuperative power
whatever. The business was mainly
changing and closing IN deals, more long
than short stuff appearing IN the market
The close was l2l5c under yesterday lof
May pork, sc lower Tor May lard ana pc
TIC lower for May ribs. Domestic mar
kets were quiet and steady
Leading futures ranged as follows:
