preadstufFs and provisions.

CHICAGo-The grain and provision
markets were dull to-day. Wheat was
firm early, but eased of on profit TAX
ing and rather free selling against
weekly calls, closing Nc under yester-
day for May. May corn and May oats
closed shade lower and provisions
2h15c better.
The wheat market was steady at the
opening with the initial hgures tor
NAV unchanged from yesterday at
7Ok I7OLc. Gables were steady and re-
celpts light but this support failed in
the face OF free selling against weekly
calls and some profit taking. May rang
ed from 69Bc to 70Mc, closing &c down
at 6O5s d7Oc. Primary receipts were 5oJ,-
600 bushelsi against 1,ls4,6OO dast year:
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 46s
cars, against S3l last week and 1884 a
wear ago. Local receipts were sixty
eight cars, eleven OF contract grade.
Ciearances were 100000 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts for the week showed
falling Off OF about 100000 bushels,
compared with the previous week ana
about 100000 bushels under the cor
responding week last year. Towards
the close the market felt some uneasi-
ness over the money situation tn New
York. The lnanlmntion OF business
was due largely to the scarcity OF de.
cisive statistics and partly to the fact
that It was Saturday.
Corn was steady, but firmly held on
the weather prospects Of rain and the
good ali rail demand. Liverpool was 1c
higher on spot which was something OF
a support. Stocks here are expected to
increase 100000 bushels. Clearances
were 1856, 900 bushels. May opened a
shade up, ranged from 82Mc to S3hc,
closing a shade under yesterday at
Oats held theEr own In spite Of the
dullness. but trade was quiet and the
range very narrow. Light receipts, to-
gether with the supporting factors In
corn, was steadying influence. Re-
CENTS here were l49 cars. May sold
from 2lc to Pan G24Mc, closing a shade
down at 2ifb24lsc. Clearances were 3d.
600 bushels Stocks are expected to
show a moderate Increase.
Provisions opened strong ana though
the market met considerable commits
sion house liquidation continued
steady throughout. Hogs were up a
trlle at the yards and Liverpool bet
ter for bacon, conditions which sup
ported the price.
Trade was not active and fluctuations
accordingly narrow, May pork sold
from w btHlWlV w 10 SlU UO' Clubuk DC
over yesterday at $40 O5; May lard from
s. 52IS@5 s. to s. 67ia, and closed 2hc
better at IS b7s. and May ribs from
