 Chicago Grain.
 Chicago. April 16.--Excellent plant ing conditions had a decided bearish effect today on corn. The general rains were said to have been a great benefit in preparing the soil Unfa- ,vorable war developments tended also, taccording to some authorities, to car ny the market dOwngrade. Opening prices, which ranged from Is to 3-4c lower, with May $1.27 and July 4$1.49 were followed by a sharp addition break, especially in the July delivery. Despite some rallies. the heaviness of the market increased as the session approached an end. Prices closed weak, IS to 2 5-S cents lower, with May $1.27 and July $1.47 Is to IA.
 Oats. like corn, showed weakness on account of bearish weather and war advioes. The market lacked sup port. After opening IA to 3-4 of, with May S4 to 84 Is, prices contin- ued to sag.
 Provisions were depressed by the liberal increase of lard supplies dur ing the first half of April. Besides, hogs and grain afforded no stimulus to buyers. @
 Selling that was ascribed to a Mill waukee packer led subsequently, to an additional setback.
