CHICAGO , Hcc. 26. The wheat market
today pained nothing for the price by Its
two days' rest. At the close Mny wns 5iie ,
compared with from KSc to CS'ic nt the
end of Monday's sesMon. There was noth
ing outftido of local bearish sentiment to
satisfactorily account for the break. Corn
nnd outs couM not easily have been duller
than they were today , until In the last Ilf-
tccn minutes of the scssdon the heaviness
of wheat affected them Injuriously ns to
the price , but favorably In the way of put-
ling n llttlu more life In the trading. They
each lost about > < ic In the value of the
nctlvc futures. Provisions noted strong , but
closed with Iho principal part of their early
gain lost.
Whrat ruled exceedingly dull , but the
rnrly feeling was somewhat stronger.
There wuru no foreign markets and local
traders showed little deposition to operate
nnd holiday dullness wns the rule. Stocks
wore Htinngor nt the start , nnd wheat sym
pathized somewhat , but th < - failure of Iho
predicted cold wnvo nnd thu light business
unused a sharp reaction later In the day.
But when the world's shipments mat week
were reported at only n little over G.OW.UOO
bu. the market began to react : then came
the big expat tn from New York Monday
rG3WO bu. nnd there was a further advance ,
but before ncion mot of It had been lost.
There Is still a good deal of apprehension
us to the financial outlook , wh'cli tends tn
restrict truth : nnd mnki'H the feeling con
servative and cautious , May sold curly up
to fiSiic1 , off to fi7c , then rallied to Wi c ,
but nt noon had gone olT to from 57c to
f.7T4c ppllt. The market held dull and easy
luring the last hour , nnd May closed nt
67sli' . The large Increase In the worlds
Blocks hnil a depressing Inllucnce.
There wote liberal receipts of corn , but
the trading was EO light that prices were
not moved Uc during nearly the whole tcs-
nlon. May sold at 2Sc and from 2Sc to 2SVdc
npllt , with yc the current price at noon.
The feeling got weaker during the lust
hour following wheat and May at the
clo c sold at from 27ic to 27c split , but
there wits hnnlly any business.
The fooling WHO steady enrly In the outs
market , but toward the close the market
declined , principally through sympathy with
wheat. Almost all the trading wns In Mny.
The provision market Ptarted strong , nnd
ns long as It had the countenance of a
llrm market continued so. When the latter
failed , however , near the close , the prices
of hog products dioppcd also. After an ad
vance of T'.f-c potk declined lOc , closing nt
n loss of 2l4c for the day : lard and ribs
did not lose all the advance they made ,
each closing about from 2'fcc to Co higher
than on Monday.
Kstlmatcd receipts for tomorrow : Wheat.

"low ptlcet ) , high prices and medium prices
havn nil failed to Induce larger receipts. Wlmt
IB called the farther kill has gradually died out.
Thu moOern farmer today sells his cattle and

den ndvnttcu of Hie In buff hides was mainly
cnu.tcil by wo or three eastern tanners , and
that the western grain leather manufacturers
uru mill holding itloof. Our advices from lion-
tun ladlcate that the stocks of upper leather
nre small. There Is undoubtedly a stronger

The market on con. stuff did not show

There were a few feeders on sale , some
