CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
CHICAGO, April 1o-Flne weather and an
expectation among traders that the Govern
ment crop report would be less extravagant as
to the serious injury to winter wheat than re-
cent representations have been developed
weakness at the beginning. May opened %dl5c
lower at from 1886 down TO 791.c, and gen
eral liquidation set in the price slipped off
gradually to 7ol-c. At that point the decline
was arrested by report from New York that
fifty boatloads of wheat had been disposed of
for export. AS that announcement was
companied by statement that the weather on
the continent of Europe had turned unfavor
able for grain crops, early sellers showed a dis
position to buy back former holdings.
In the last hour of the session. confidence as
to the forthcoming crop report being bearish
was upset, and the market recovered all its
early declines. May closed 1sc higher
Liquidation on account of the mild weather
and reports that seeding was we'll under way
in many States weakened corn early. Later
however, buying by elevator people against
sales for shipment, together with the conclud-
ing frmness OF. wheat, caused a firm feeling
near the end. May corn closed 1kc lower.
Oats broke at the start selling by elevator
interests against corn purchased. Subsequent
ly the decline was recovered on bulllsh country
advices and better cash demand. May oats
closed lsc lower. Provisions fiat and
transactions consisted principally of changing
from May to July. There an impression
that much of the present May holdings would
have to be ilquidated a loss and the belief
prevailed that the market would be lifeless
and dropping until these holdings were iiqui-
dated. May pork closed 71ac lower; lard and
ribs, 21sc lower
