CHICAGO, May 26.-The grain mar
kets ended in a stagnant session to-
day in a rather weak condition, wheat
shade, corn as01hc and oats 1s@Ac
under yesterday. Provisions closed
71afb121sc down.
The wheat market was almost too
small to be visible to the naked eye.
The market opened firm because the
northwest was still without sufficient
moisture to sprout the seed. Later
principally out of sheer inactivity the
market ceased and the half session
wound up in an inanimate condition.
The pit was all but deserted most of
the day. Primary receipts were $751;
900 bushels compared with $4,000
