CHICAGO-After passing an unusual-
ly dull day the board OF trade markets
closed at slight declines all around.
There was little interest taken in the
trading. Wheat closed hGAc to l&4
&c, corn nc and oats &c lower; pro-
visions closed at decline Of 1OGl21ac.
While wheat did not show any great
strength at the opening, prices started
q trihe higher than yesterdays close
and the feeling was steady. Liverpool
cables we're a trihe improved but were
not considered as responsive to the
strength here yesterday. There was
fair disposition to buy, but this dispo-
sltion took shape In orders which were
scattered and generally unimportant.
The anticipated decrease In the visible
supply Monday and the fact that more
attention is being paid to bull news
nowadays occasioned u spasmodic adj
vance early, but somebody began SELL
ing presumably a long line. and the
puny bulge wlthered up and was blown
away Liquidation was small, fact
especially prominent by reason of the
nearnesS of delivery day n little eX-
port Eibbling was reported and ignored.
There was little difficulty experiences
in changing options at spread of l9ac.

MGXc down 10 67&c, Feeling at the
close was heavy, while the whole ses-
sion was remarkable for its lack OF ae-
ton.
The corn market was dull firm part Of
the time, but closing easy. The only
feature Of the trade was the early de-
mand for May. There seemed to be
more disposition among the crowd to
take up May In exchange for July. Liv-
erpool being firm was Of some assist
ance early and the assertion that the
bull leaders would take up most of the
cash stun delivery day was also a bull
help. The last hour of the session the
demand was very slack and the price
was quick to reflect ii. Receipts here
were 167 cars. May ranged from i0c to
S9Ik a $3.50 and closed NC under yester-
day at 39lEg39%c; July from 4lhc to

Oats were weak, even when corn and
wheat showed firnness. The good
weather and the increased country Of
ferlngs were factors. There was fair
activity in the trade the first hour, but
following that business was quiet, LII
