THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Loses an Advance Under Sell
ing. Closing Low.

CHICAGO. April 16.-Up to the noon
hour wheat ruled firm and showed at one
time a gain of &c over last nights close.
There was liberal commission house buy
ing in May and professional buying of
July with pit traders trailing on. Late IN
the session the latter turned sellers and
prices yielded easily, with all of the ad-
vance being lost at the close. Liverpool
was steady. Primary receipts slightly
less than last year, clearances liberal,
100000 bushels. Cash sales 105, 600 bushels.
The seaboard reports thirty-seven loads.
May ranged from T1z 20 702s@70l2.
Corn was active and stronger. The
leading long interests were on both sides
of the market, selling May and July
early, but later turned a buyer and bid
prices up. Commission houses were gen
orally on the buying side and pit shorts
in July covered. The unfavorable weather
tances were light, primary receipts only
267 900 bushels. No cash sales reported
twenty loads at seaboard. Car lots, 161
with l05 estimated for tomorrow.
Reports of heavy sales for shipment
and delayed seeding opened the oats mar
ket strong. May touched 257s. The firm
ness in that future is caused by the buy
ing of shorts. Yesterday sales cash
were reported at 456. 600 bushels. Receipts
were ZS3 with 16l for Wednesday,
The increased hog movement in the

New York. December 24.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline Of
4 to z points under fairly active selling
for both accounts, started by weakness
in the Liverpool market and heavy re-
ceipts at the ports. January sold down
to STA. March to SPA, and May to S.29.
Foreign selling orders were something
of a feature on the decline; the south
furnished little business to it's represen-
tativeS here. Just when shorts appear
ed to have everything their own way,
active Wall street buying set in and
soon forced the active options a point
or so ove last nights bids, with the
market showing pronounced strength.
Liverpool responded to our rally with
reluctance. The south turned buyer on
the advance, picking up late months,
as a general thing, as against sales OF
spot cotton to exporters. For the rest
of the session the market had an irreg-
ular movement and while far from
weak, reputedly gave way before liqui-
dating sales through commission brok-
erS. All private news from the crop
country told OF a light yield and of
steadily advancing prices in spot mar
kets. The information from spinning
centers here and abroad proved to be
Of h e best and aside from the big port
movement for the day there was moth
ing to really disturb the market. On
all weak spots Wall street and leading
room bulls bought May and July OPP
tons. The market closed steady with
prices net 2 . z points lower.

Mr.. Leedy is a man of so years of age

This all goes to ValdeS and will be used
