THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Bhort Sellers in the Wheat Pit Eorely Disappointed. BULLS AGAIN IN THE LEAD. Corn Rather Dull Notwithstanding a Falling Off in Receipts—Oata Barely Steady—Provisions Bearish--Hogs Brisk. CHICAGO PRODUOCE MARKET, Cnicago, May 10.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bes.|—~When the wheat crowd came down this morning with the decline of Tues- day uppermost in their minds and found weak cables from abroad, dispatches of a rather bearish tone from the northwest and other bearish news from different quarters, it began business quite comfortable in the opinion that it was to be another great day for short selling. All these calculations were completely upset. July wheat opened at 887%¢c and touched S There were enough buying orders in the market, how- ever, to stop the decline at this point and to turn the movemént the other way. Before 10 o'clock July options sold at 803{c and at that hour closed at 89!;@s9%c. At nightthe the crowd in a disgruntled and unhappy man- ner, acknowledged that its plans had been completely upset. There was a bull point early, that July wheat would in any event be stopped at 87 1t took a good deal of buy- ing by Cudahy and iinn at the opening to stop the decline at 87 Figures from Liv- erpool showed an increase in wheat on pas- sage of nearly 2,500,000 bushels. This in- fluenced a great deal of early selling, but the buying of the bull coterie was enough to ab- sorb everything offered and to be vigorous after the crowd had been relieved of all they had. In half an hour after the opening the phase had 8o changed, that from S7%c July wheat was at 883{c. Notonly was the price of wheat changed, but the look of the pit was aiso changed. The faint-he: m(m! bulls took courage and be- came buyers . Neither cables nor small exports, nor l|m, weather nor anything else outside of the pit counted. There was plenty of bull muscle and the price kept up. Pri- mary market receipts—138,000 bushels—were small. Werst telegraphed that in a ride be- tween here and St. Louis he saw that 30 per cent of the acreage had been plowed up. In the pit, besides buying by Cudahy & Linn, which was most conspicuous, Hutchinson, Roche, Lindbloom and Bloom were on the same side, but there was a great big trade and these were only leaders. Kennett was the largest individual seller, putting out about 500,000 bushels at 8937c. Spreaders, in getting out of unprofitable straddles be- tween July and August and July and De- cember, advanced the nearer option. August t to a discount of 1c and this created some talk of @ July wheat corner. he arrivals of corn—278 cars—were a little under exPectations. In the lot there were only 140 cars of No. 2—a trifie over 50 er cent. Charters were large—234,000 ushels—but there did not appear to be much vigor in the pit. Even the May option was without special interest, the shorts not being subjected to any unusual pressure. It opened at _ b9ice, sold between b9}¢c and 58%c and at 1 o'clock closed at bc., July opened at 573c, sold between 577 and b7, 5isge. No. rrade sold 1c of July, which is an evi- lly sharp consumptive de- 150, within dence of an esp mand. Oats acted very like corn, hardly keeping steady. The r s 186 cars, and the estimates for Thursday 197. May opened at #83¢c, sold between 8blge and 34l4e, and at 1 o'clock closed at #47¢c.

Early in the day there was a spurt of strength but it brought out too free offerings to be lasting and the product fell to ower level in price all around. Hogs were BI80 in better supply and easler. In the way f speculation there was no new feature, Snglish houses were inclined to sell on ulges and some pork was also s01d by a repre- entative of the late Fowler-Swift syndicate. eliverics later than August received less at ention than usual while in the cash move- ent there wus no particular improvement, ased on last night's closings pork rested at o'clock at a decline of Ti@10c and short Blm at g depreciation of 2ige.

After the first flurry subsided a better tone devel oped, and propertics that had beeu weakest becane strongest, and, although businass fell off perceplibly, there was sufticient buying to aborb all offerings and cause an upward wovement on all active stocks except Rich- mond Terminal, which for some unexplained cause, went contrary to the expectations of Ms friends and lost 13.

St. Paul and Lackawanna were exceptionally strong and headed the advance by gainiog J{. Manhattan came into prominence about noon by jumping up 914 per cent, with small trading. A report from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy mecting in Chicago that the old board of di- rectors had been re-elected and that they had sustained the course of the mamagement during the strike caused & sharp demand from shorts and an advance of 1l; was re- corded. Atchison came in for more atten- tion from shorts and advanced 1'¢, but re ceded %, The short interest in this prop- erty is still said to be large. It wes reported that Cammack was covering his shorts in the general list,but he emphatically denied that he had bought a share of stock during the day. London closed stronger, with most of the early loss regained, This had a s.Jdmulating effect and, coupled with the placing of a new £7,500,000 Baltimore & Ohio loan in London, created increased buying. During the last hour business improved and fair advances were recorded all along the line, last sales being at mnearly outside figures, and gains were recorded of @13 points, the latter being for New England. Burlington and Rock Island each gained 1 point, Northwest- orn 5, Manhattan 15{, St. Paul 3, Lake Shore %, Lackawanna and Reading %, Ore- gon Transcontinental ). The only decline of consequence was 1% on Richmond Ter- minal, due to selling by inside parties who bought yesterday. Money casy at 1@14. silver, 9173 in London, 42.
