CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, January S.-Wheat continued
htA
nrices being seen. There was complete
| lack OF confidence, and Generalization or
| the extreme sort was noted In the Dull
| ranks Liverpool opening cables were
steady, thai being sufficient motive Ier
selling inasmuch as we advanced lie.
Yesterday. Sight of the fact that the
! English market die not decline with US
| previously was lost. and when the Dreak
| 1t in. consideration of anything bullish
was not thought OF. The bears, having
been emboldened by success, are pre-
! dieting even lower prices than have yet
been established. Reported sales for ex,,
port here and at the seaDoard steadled
| the market, and caused moderate re-
coyery late In the session. May wheat
opened at from 81 to 81 3-4c, declined 10
So lie and closed at % 7-SaSlc-i 1-2n
/ 5-Sc. under yesterday. Cash wheat was
weak and l 1-2c. lower
Corn weakened through sympathy with
wheat but prices did not suffer as much,
there being no trade TO force break.

was steady. closing easy, In sympathy
with the futurv
oats declined because Of the all-round
depression prevailing. The easy tone was
due TO the sympathy existing between
this and other speculative commodities.
and nor to any independent condition.
May oats closed 1-Sq1-4c. lower Cash
oats were steady.
ProvisIons-A slightly easier feeling
was observed in product early, due 10 the
surroundings, and 10 lover prices Tor
hogs. Late in the session quite good
demand developed, several packers and
commissioner houses being prominent as
buyers. The talk of light receipts OF
hogs in the near future helped prices:
May pork closed l0c. higher, May lard
547 lie. higher, May ribs l-2ql0c.
higher.
Hides-Ouiet and unchanged.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
