The wheat market opened easy on the
absence Of any stimulating news, May a
shade under yesterday ct seih8 80 Sc,
This was the high notch for the day,
for thereafter tie price went under
puts and stayed there, buyiag against
those privileges causing emily the feeble
upward motions. The poor expert bust
ness was one reason for selling; good
crop news from AygentiAa and else
where. The weakness Of the northwest
markets-Minneapolls showing great
er falling on than Chicago-and selling
orders from that section was also a
factor in the weakness. on the weak
ness considerable long wheat was let
out. With this array Of gloomy news
the fact that receipts we're more lber-
al and clearances smaller added but
little to the diseouragemOnt Of the
bulls. One hundPed thousand bushels
Of choice wheat was sold for the sea-
board, but in view OF the large stocks
the transaction was contemptuougly
labelled retail business" and forgot
ten. May Slumped as far az possible
and then closed weak. Nc under yes-
terday at 69Hc. Primary receipts were
50l,S24 bushels, against 653,46 last year

and fiour equal to 25o,oo0 bushels. Re
ceipts here were seventy-six cars, none

compared with S33 last week and ~ q
year ago.
Tho strength exhibited early by the
provision market was overcome later
by heavy realizing prosecuted through
out the session with great animation.
Receipts Of hogs G,0o0 head, under ex-
pectation and better prices at the
yards was the cause given for the
slight gain recorded at the opening. A
good demand from new quarters and
some conservative pupchnSeg by others
caused a further advance. Under pres
sure Of proat-tHking the gain was aA
lost and the market turned weak. Nay

Corn steadled by provisions for q
time, later succumbed to the influence
OF wheat and the reaction Of provisions

cd lots Of long corn were let out on the
