R A AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April 29.-Corn underwent
a moderate setback in price today,
chiefly as a result of absence Of any
aggressive buying. Cautiousness of
bankersiin making loans was n of
the reasons given for bearish senti-
ment. Changed weather conditions
likely to permit increased farm work
tended also to weaken values. Open
ing quotations, which varied from un-
changed to 5-S lower, with May Sta
to 1.73 IL and July $1.64 1.2 to
AGA 80, were followed by additional
losses, making the decline general.
Oats sagged with corn. After open
ing unchanged to Lee lower. includ-
ing July at SS~1-4 to So t1-2. the mar
ket continued to. relax.
Provisions e heavy owing to
grain weakness. High prices on hogs
failed to act as a counter balance.
Shutting down of ONE Chicago
grain elevators because of the
switchmen's strike added to depres-
sion in the corn market notwith-
standing scarcity of grain here and at
other leading terminals. The close
was unsettled, ga to 2 IA net lower
