WHEAT MARKET Dull
But Firm. Closing 1888
Cent Improved.
CORN CLOSES UNCRAN GEO'
Oats Improved and Provis-
ions at a Sharp Decline.

Chicago. May 2-The wheat market to-
day was dull but firm, helped by the
Liverpool cables and a bullish feeling
among traders, closing 1sgAc improved.
Corn closed unchanged and oats ssd4c
| improved. Provisions suffered a sharp
break. closing 171zq21zc lower.
Considerations presented at the begin
ming of the session in the wheat pit
were the strength Of Liverpool, dry
weather in the central area, and frosts
in sections Of the west and southwest,
followed rains in Nebraska and Kansas
The Liverpool advance was encouraging
1t Indicated an appreciation Of the gen
eral bulishness Of the situation as view
ed from an American standpoint. There
was a fair cash business here-210OGO
bushels, and export bids were nearer the
market. New York reported . loads Ia
ken for export. The speculative trade
was light and dull. May was relatively
stronger than July. First figures were
1zc over Mondays close, and there was a
small advance early on covering by
shorts, but the bulge gave way later IN
free offerings, but part of it vas recGv-
cred before the end of the session. Pri-
mary receipts were 444,000 bushels, com
pared with 10000 last year. Local re-
ceipts were q cars none Of contract
grade. July closed 1sdAc improved al
677sQ67lzc; May 14q$5c improved at 655zc
Corn was firm, but not generally ac-
tive. Gables were higher, receipts light,
IA cars, and the wheat strength was an
early support There was a fair trade,
but the market was a choppy affair,
with 'changin'' the feature There was
a good export demand, New York report
ing 60 loads taken for foreign shipment
July closed unchanged at 41c.
Oats were firm, May especially So Ele-
vator people took May with such persist
ence that the spread narrowed from IL
to 13sc. The cash situation was de-
clared improved Receipts here were lis
cars. July closed sc higher, at 23190
239sc; May &c higher, at 277sG2Sc.
Provisions were weak and the trade In
hogs especially quiet, although there was
squirt of nervous activity early The
opening showed sever break and great
irregularity In prices. Hog receipts were
heavy and the market at the yards
weak. two considerations at the begin
ming of the session. There was no par
ticular demand and plenty Of stuff for
sale, and in consequence there was little
recovery. July pork closed 421sc under
Monday, at sl2.1715: July lard zoe down,
at 1856, and July ribs 1712c depressed at
s6.T1k.

Quality of Hogs Not So Good

The market yesterday was weak and
draggy, although at closing time every
thing in the yards was sold There was
a good demand for light hogs, owing to
heavy shipping orders for California and
the coast states. The market opened
8 to 10 cents lower. Weak and lower re-
ports from other markets, indicating a
drop Of a dime, sent the price here down
70 ~ 10 IL cents on Tuesday, and at the
close the majority of the sales were made
at a dime off
The quality yesterday was only fair
There were no Uoppy hogs on sale and
the loads bringing the nigh prices were
