Chicago, January 10.-A light specu
latiye demand to-day and bearish
news, both domestic and foreign, caus-
ed a decline in wheat. May closed 3sc
lower. Corn lost Nc and oats left off
a shade lower. Pork and ribs advanc-
ed sc each and lard gained 21ac.
Weakness and lower quotations at
Liverpool, Notwithstanding the firm
ness displayed here yesterday, started
wheat a trifie lower There was a few
buying orders at the start, however,
and as there was very little wheat for
sale, May, which opened 1s@Ae lower
at 705s @70Ac, climbed slowly and la
boriously to 71Bc. When the initial
buying orders were out of the way
prices began to weaken and May sank
irregularly but determinedly to 1870
705sc. Heavy arrivals were given as
the cause for a decline of A@12d at
Liverpool. Chicago received al cars,
eight of which were contract. Re-
430 cars, compared with 337 for the
corresponding day year ago. Pri
mary western market receipts were
667 900 bushels, against 1885, 900 bushels
last year.
Bradstreet's reported 131 900 bushels
increase in the worlds stocks of wheat,
compared with 63S 900 bushels increase
the same week of the previous year.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and -four
were smaller than their recent aver
age, amounting in wheat and -four TO
416,000 bushels. Speculative activity
from the outside was sadly and con-
spicuously absent, and even the local
crowd appeared tired of trying 10
guess the next vagary of a market
swayed alternately by dull shipping
demand and corn possibilities connect
ed with European dependence ON this
country for supplies Russian stocks
of wheat were reported at 1884 900
bushels, against 14,600, 900 bushels De-
cember l, and 100000 bushels year
ago. More favorable weather was re-
ported from Argentina and the crop
situation there was said to have been
greatly improved with prospects of
large export from that country. The
market was depressed by the average
bearishness of the information and
May declined to 703s @70Rc, and clos
ed at 701Ac.
A poor cash demand and a large ac-
emulation of stocks weakened corn.
There was half hearted attempt early
to bull the market, but offerings We're
plentiful and buyers were very read
lily accommodated. Puts yesterday
were close to the market, and they
tended to prevent any important
break. Receipts were large, 757 cars.
May opened Nose lower at $500
36Bc, advanced to 371sc, sold off to
1864 @36Bc, and closed at 367sc.
With no selling pressure and
scattered outside demand for July, oats
ruled firm. The range was small and
May began 1sc down at 27$sc, sold
sparingly at 27A@27%c, rallied to
275sc, and closed at PTS @271ac buy
ers.
An improved export demand for
meats and higher prices for, hogs
strengthened provisions. Repurchas-
ing by commission houses that were
recent sellers was also an influence.
The early advance was modified some
what by the heaviness of grains, but
some of the days gains were still adj
herring to the market at the close of
the session. May p~E opened 5@75c
higher at S1O00@1o05, sold at $1OO5@
10.071a, weakened to $9.971h, then i'm
proved to S10.00@10.021a at the close.
The range in lard and ribs was mar
row. Il
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, 40, 900 head.
