Chicago, March 12.-Dullness prevailed

May products closing unchanged 10 l5c
Wheat opened firm on higher cables
and colder weather in the northwest,
May being unchanged to sc higher at
753sG75I2c. The strong close at Paris
caused fair amount of buying and the
price advanced 10 7524c, but with the light
trade and with no especial demand from
foreigners the market eased off. Just be-
fore the close there was general selling
of May and the price broke TO .4'sal I5c.

Trading in corn was dull and prices
ruled about steady No outside business

traders showed little disposition to trade
one way or the other. waiting for some
of the leaGers TO show their hand. Pre-
dictions of colder weather induced some
selling early and the markets eased

Oats were exceedingly dull and the
market was without any features. Prices

347sc. Local receipts were small. at 1856
cars.
Following a firm opening i'm provisions
on the strong hog market the whole list
sumped quite sharply. local traders be
ing disposed to raid the market, thus
forcing out a number of stop loss orders.

tion to sell hogs this week and the first
time in many moons there were more
hogs on the Wichita market yesterday

claiming that high water marks in the
hog market has been reached and that
now the price for hogs will begin to
slip down.
