cHIcAGo-wheat was dull and
weak to-day depressed by large re-
celpts, poor export demand, the In
crease in Russian shipments. May clos
ing &c under Saturday. Corn closed
shade lower and oats unchanged. Pro-
visions at the close were 2h97hc i'm

May wheat opened &c over Saturday
at sS%GsSHc. 1t speedily developed
that there was little excuse for such a
bold front to the market, for Liverpool
was not overly steady and the small
worlds shIpments-perhaps somewhat
bullish at frst glance-contained a po-
tent bear factor in the increase In
Russian shipments against decrease
from this country. May sold on early
to 6S&c, where It steadied for a time on
buying against puts. The large re-
ceipts and the poor export demand
however, acted against this until even
that poor support was practically Win
drawn. Considerable long wheat was
thrown on the market in the liquidation
which reIgned throughout the session.
MAY slumped through puts without eff
fort and touched 67%c, closing shortly
afterward in a weak condition &c un-
der Saturday at 675s96sc. Receipts at
primary points were S2s,623 bushels,
compared with 9sS,sss last year. Min
neapolls and Duluth reported sos cars
against 731 a year ago. Local receipts
were eighty-one cars, ten OF which

ported eight loads taken for export.
Atlantic and Gulf port clearnnees. eX-
elusive OF Galveston. were $4,000 bush

els and receipts to-day were 5Sl cars.
May ranged from 33c to 32Fsc, with the
close a shade under Saturday, at 32&4
321sc. The corn crowd apparently was
very much interested IN the election. as
the pit was sparseiy occupied at the
best, while at times business was nj
standstill.
oats were quiet and featuFeless and
though the market at one time showed
some easiness in sympathy with wheat
the close was steady. There was con-
siderable outside selling, but offerings
were well taken. Shippers declared
=.
Receipts here were 270 cars. May
ranged from 23E a235sc TO 23sSc, closing
unchanged at 2SSc.
Provisions. in the face Of large hog
receipts, were firm, the result OF
good outside demand, particularly from
the south. The demand from this Sec
ton presumably arose from the ad-
vance in cotton The influence OF the
hog receipts was felt somewhat at the
opening. but the market quickly shook
It OF. There was little Of the realizing
