r HE COMMERCIAL RECORD.' ♦Dullness --Was. the- Characteristic of R Trading on the Chicago Board Saturday. However, There Was Nothing Particu larly Discouraging Noted in the Situation. Transactions in the Financial Circles of Wail Street—The General Quotations. Special to the Globe. Ciin too, March 3. —Corn opened strong at Vie advance along the whole range of fut ures. Rut there proved to be unexpectedly large offerings of property, and the market began at* once to ease off. May going from 52*t4c to 52V:>c and June from 52Uc to 5178 C. Receipts were 207 cars, not one of which graded No. 2. The 500 shorts must have been pretty well driven in. Because the support from shorts was. not strong to-day, Ilutcninson came forward when the market was most nervous around the open ing and passed his . card around, offering to sell all anybody aud everybody wauled nt . 52>.">@52*>{gc. The crowd enshrouded itself in the wet blanket and modified its bull enthusiasm. Wheat was featureless. It was strong at the open ing on the cold wave, but a scrutiny of tlie weather map showed that it was neither so general nor so severe as predicted. Cables were steady. No outside orders to speak cf were received, und trade was light. Provis lons wef. stupidly dull this morning, with little doing. May pork was quoted fit 14.05(314. 071.2; May* lard at $7.75 mid May ribs at J7.27*A®7.30. This was an off day on 'change. The markets were dull and weak. Both grain and provisions, corn. which had been lending in the late advance, was the leader again to-day, but the proces sion was headed the other way. The bullish spirit is not gone yet, bgt there was so much corn for sale that. the market could not take. Hutchinson has been unloading his long corn for several days. His line of 2,000,000 or 3,009,000 being peddled out all the way up. Yesterday .-•- '_ ■ IO!'. A FEELER he bought 500,000 bushels and threw it over later. To-day he changed front and be came an open bear. He sold sparingly at first, and then being satisfied that the ice was thin, he took a plunge. He put out a, line of nearly 500,000 bushels, and every time the market lifted its head he plugged it full. Most of the people who were in nt the beginning of the bulge floated out on the way up and when prices turned down they were prepared for it. It is only the late comers who look sad. They are an unhappy lot to-day, are the geu t lemon who got on the train after it started with the intention of riding to the OOc sta tion. Corn for May sold down 1052i,8*3.52tic, and a large business was done below 52% c. Wheat was weak from sympathy with corn, but ou its "merit? it displayed a resisting power, perhaps because the market is bumping in the bottom only a light business was done in the pit. but ihe crop conditions are such as to deter short selling, while the lame, hall, blind and broken bulls have not the courage to' make another charge. Thus the market is water-logged, a pitiable state of suspended animation, broken-backed and crippled. Cudaliay, who was a buyer of pro visions early, turned around and pounded (in- market later with the stuff he had bought, breaking the price ot product of all kinds. Pork was driven down to 813.921.7', ribs to $7.25, and lard to 57.07V2. There was a slight reaction from- these figures, but the tone of the market was weak to the close. THE noUTIN'E REPORT. □Cbicaoo, March J!.— semi-revival of speculative trade ii> grain that came with the opening of March was of short duration. While the temporary bulge continued there was activity, but with the rendu and de cline in prices came dullness. About every thing on the floor opened this morning at' a trifle better prices than Friday's ciose. The tendency to buy was uniformly and slowly downward, and- the opening sales were at the best figures of the day. Wheat for May started at Mo*'4C, sold at once to SOftc, and within an hour went off to 80*lb®80<Ae, '('here was nothing particularly .discouraging in the situation; it is regarded strong nt pres ent prices, by the majority of the trade, but still -'there was apathy and ft lower' range of prices' -May opened at- 80'L'C during the greater part of the session and finally closed at that figure. While . corn . led upwards Thursday and Friday, it led in the decline early to-day. The opening quotations were biglier than the closing last night, but they were the best of the day, nud the first two hours carried prices down tec. The volume of tradiiigjyas quite good, so consencrnted thrtt litnl outside was attracted. May opened Vac higher at 52% c; declined li) 52*#cand closed'.tl 52ti-c. There was very light speculative trade in oats with nothing but ' the smallest fluctuations. May opened at 3l"*iic, Sold down to 31&& C and closed nt 31**/4 C. The provision trade was 0 little more stirring than on the former days of the week, and around the i p ru ing prices were depressed by compara tively free offerings. Later there was a bel ter snowing of strength, yet at the adjourn ment pork showed a decline for the day of 10c, and lard and and short ribs se. Trading, while the bears mere selling, was quite fair; but after the first hour, when they withdrew. bu-.inessjw;is spasmodic and slow. May pork sold from 514.00i,i down. May lard sold from $7.75 to 87.67VJ, and closed at $7.70. May ribs sold down to and closed * THE QUOTATIONS.

The stock market was fairly active to-day, but was again weak and declining throughout most of the ses sion, and the lowest prices of the week were ;eached in many cases. There was a renewal of confidence on the part of the foreigners and London buying orders made a strong opening, but the traders were bearish.lv in clined on the advices from Washington In re gard to the tariff bill, and when the foreign ers were through took hold of . the .market and forced it down with compara tively light offerings.

There is not much prospect of sales ahead "of current consumptive . requirements at present. Buyers argue that cnances are In favor of lower freights with the opening of the rivers and lakes and they will not lay by stocks to carry against such chances.
