CHICAGO, February 1.-THE grain
and provisions markets were-dull to-
day. Wheat weakened on lower cab
les and a poor demand, May closing n
@%c down. Corn closed a shade and
oats Ac depressed and provisions a
trife lower.
With Liverpool and Paris lower,
Northwest receipts were liberal and
worlds shipments expected to show
an increase Monday. May wheat
started the day Bc under yesterday at
$3.50. There was some covering by
shorts early which sent the price to
6S3s @6Skc but this was lost. The
seaboard reported only 10 loads taken
for export. It was reported that the
Argentine plague had been stamped
out. The cash demand was slack, May
eased off to 6SAc when the market
held for some time, with some outside
demand for May. The local talent
was bearish, however, and the close
was weak, May A@%c under yester-
day at 6SA @68A. The speculative
trade was small.
Corn opened easy had a spasm of
i1mness, and then relapsed into its
original state. Sympathy with wheat,
a bit more l~iberality in country Offer
May to 35c was caused by shorts COW
ering and bnying for the long ac-
count by one firm.
May sold from 35 to 34%c and
closed a shade under yesterday at
34s @35c.
Oats were easy with corn. The
market was small. Receipts were 256
cars, IS over the estimate, May ranged
from 23A @23Bc and closed &c down
at 23ac. There was some buying by
shorts.
Provisions were dull and the price
suffered a little in consequence. The
feature was the quietness of specula-
ton. There was no noteworthy trade
Hogs were barely steady and the east
ness of corn had some effect. May
pork sold from $40 95 to $40 90h and
closed 2h@5c under yesterday at
$40 92k; May lard from Sc OH to
Sc 05, closing a shade down at $6 05
aud May ribs from Sc 90 to Sc 02h to
IS 90 with the close 21ac lower at
Sc 90.
