CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET
CHICAGO. January 1.--St. Louis began
covering short wheat In this market at
noon yesterday, and continued doing so
until about the same hour to-day prices
responding moderately TO the buying, but
when that demand ceased, weakening and
declining Liverpool cables this morning
did not finally reflect the advance of 1c.
on this side OF yesterday, that fact occa-
sioning disappointment, and causing
weak and lower market at the opening.
Anticipation Of bullish report then in
fluenced the feeling for the better, but
when 1t was ascertained that the report
would not be forthcoming to-day the tone

closing weak and 1-2c. lower.

than in corn. but il was mainly local. and
evidenced the professional sentiment,
which was gagged by that Of wheat. May
oats closed 3-Sdl-2c. under yesterday.
Cash oats were firm whilst trading was
under way, but the nominal close was
weak. with the futures.
Proyisions--The feeling In product at
the opening exhibited a continuation or
Yesterdays strength. although light. Hogs
being firmer. was an incident which con-
duced to the strength OF provisions. Later
packers sold freely, and prices yielded TO
