CHICAGO. Jaa. 27.— Lower cables and re ceipts that were considered heavy, especially In the Southwest, caused a weak opening in wheat and local longs realized freely. There was a temporary rally shortly after the start, brought about by buying by the leading long, and May sold up to 81%®32c after opening J .iS%c to %@Vic lower at Sli/i^l^c. The support was only momentary, however, and when it was learned that the chief lorlg In terest was selling through brokers there was a wild scramble to secure proflts and the prlca Ijroke sharply, the low point being reached at 78%e. Covering by shorts late In the day caused a slight rally, but the close was weak and 2%c lower at 79Jiic. The news Was. gen erally bearish, with the failing off In the export demand the principal Influence. The volume of business was something enormous, It being reported that the leading bulls dis posed of anywhere from i.OOO.OOO to 15.000.000 bushels, while commission houses were also heavy sellers. Corn was remarkably firm early considering the weakness in wheat, and it was rumored that the earne firm that unloaded the big line of wheat had taken on a Imje line of corn. Later when wheat started on Its last down ward course the offering's became very liberal and a weak feeling developed and May clo'ed %c lower at 44 Uc. ThfTe was only a light trade In oats .and the market ¦ sympathized with other grains May closed ViW-%c lower at 30%c Provisions ruled dull and easier, the liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards contributing to the early weakness, while selling by packers added to the decline. The close was weak, with May perk 22%c lower; lard. 12*£c down, and ribs off 10c. The leading future* ranged t« follows: EASTERN MARKETS.

The demand ' yesterday was again for store Eggs In pref-.; erence to ranch, which were quoted quiet. Th(T storm has not yet affected receipts, which ara ample for all needs, as will be seen. Receipts were 27,400 lbs Butter," CS2 cases Eggg and 47 W5 lbs Cheese Butter is scarce at the moment, as several steamers due are held back toy the storm, and ¦were holders disposed they could get a marked advance over previous quotations. In fact, some of them are already charging outsiders 32c and even 3.1c for the fine creameries. But most dealers are disinclined to raise prices on the regular trade, for they realize that as soon as the storm clears off all this Butter now delayed will come In all at once when a slump Is likely to occur. The feeling is very firm, however. Cheese Is quoted weak, and dealers are be ginning to shade the quotations to effect sales. The little Bhlppinp demand observable of late has subsided, as Los Angeles and other polntj can land Eastern goods from Chicago as cheap if not cheaper than from San Francisco, and are taking the Eastern and Western articles In preference.
