Chicago Live Stock,

Chicago, April 9-It was supposed that
Wednesdays decline of 32ic. marked the
bottom of the descent which has played
havoc with wheat prices lately. This was
proven erroneous today by a decline of
17sc. from yesterdays price, May closing
at 647sc., the lowest price in many months.
Wheat cables started the rumpus and
heavy liquidation kept it going, corn and
oats were weak in sympathy, declining esa
$sc. respectively. Provisions on the con-
trary, were firm and scored advances
ranging from 2Iaa10c.

to a disagreeable surprise this morning
by the opening Liverpool cables. They
showed a decline in that market of 212Q
27sd. AS the Chicago market had adj
vanced more than &c, yesterday, the de-
cline abroad was entirely unexpected and
its effect on opening prices here was
marked There was practically no de-
nand for December wheat at the opening
and initial prices ranged from soc to 9Oa4 c,
compared with yesterdays close of 935sc
declined at once to S9a4c. At around 90c
trade suddenly became enormous. Sales
on stop orders were very heavy but offer
ings were absorbed as quickly as they
were made and prices soon declined. AS
the trade narrowed. the market became
very nervous and fluctuations were vio-
lent. December advanced to SIC. went
back to SG1zc, up to 9O19c and then Ole.
even smaller trading. The trade appear
ed demoralized and the pit at times was
not more than half full. Septer- n.
which closed yesterday at 9S7sc. opened
today all the way from 92c to 9312c. 1t
rallied &c at a jump to 96c. then dropped
caused by a further break at Liverpool.

received recently. The crop there was
estimated at from to million bu more
than last year Wl1n weather i1+ ideal for
an increase, 327 against 173 last week and
CORN-There was big trade in corn.
The market opened off with wheat and
predictions of warmer weather and
showers in the southwest. There was also
considerable selling as usual every day on
the heavy receipts. 1872 cars. The mar
ket, however. soon rallied. The country
was a good buyer and foreigners also
bought at the opening. Crop reports were
very bad from Illionis, Iowa, Missouri
and Kansas. December opened lie lower
at 26321Sc, sold at S11hc and rallied to
1925 N3211c- September opened 1%c lower
at 291kc and advanced to Doc.
OATS-Were only fairly active. The
market followed the course of corn. 1o-
cal receipts We're Asa cars. December
opened 5sc lower at 197s620c, declined to
1880 and rallied to 203sc.
PROyISIONS-Were rather demora lied
