! ness in grain seemed 10 go on crutches to-
| day. il was so hating and slow. Wheat
! declined l2d5sc. chiefly for lack OF support.
! Corn closed unchanged and oats shade
| lower Provisions were the only market
to show any strength, general advance OF
2l2c being recorded.
Wheat was weak at the opening, and Tor
an hour afterwards the bears had complete
/ control of the market. The early Liverpool
cables came I'D higher, but half of this
was subsequently,. lost. The trade was
somewhat disappointing in this, as II was
only a feeble response to the bullsh Senu-
ment which ruled here yesterday and dis
cOUraged those who were expecting foreign
halp in putting prices up.
The weather. too. was regarded as Ia
vOrable Their bidding strength. however
came from the SeIboard reports relating
the stale cry of no demand for export.
| That was emphasized by small clearances
of wheat and -four from the Atlantic sea-
ports in the last twenty-four hours, the
( total amounting TO the equivalent OF 2OVWO
