Senators Allison and Aldrich and on

The Day on Change.
A decidedly bearish sentiment pre-
vailed in the wheat pit due to the ex-
tremely favorable weather conditions.
In consequence the market was weak
and prices showed a loss of nearly a
cent.
Shorts covered freely during the lat
ter part of the session, causing a sharp
advance. There was also heavy buy
ing by an influential trader.
Liberal offerings with only a small
demand caused weakness in corn.
Lower cables, Increased receipts and
the decline in wheat were responsible
for the selling pressure.
The market followed wheat In its
upward course, all of the early loss
being regained. Covering by shorts
was a conspicuous feature.
Oats were weak in sympathy with
other grains. There was considerable
realizing by small holders, but the de-
mand was comparatively light.
Weakness in grains more than offset
the influence of decreased receipts OF
hogs and higher prices at the yards,
the result being an easier tone in the
provision market. Slight gains were
/ experienced at the opening, but the ad-
vance was all lost on selling by pit
traders.

TO cross the Yalu, had begun to rein

they have done in London. Editorials

seems that the Japanese imperial
