Chicag;o Market— May 28 p.m. 



There has been another quiet "^ay in the wheat ma<ket. 

 Throngi out the entire day the European steamers have been 

 expect<d, and tbero was but little dispos-ition to operate in 

 consequence. j'Holders generally withdrew their stocks from 

 the market: but those who sold had to submit to a decline of 

 2@3c on Win-er ^aud l@2c on Spring grades. Only about 

 30.000 bushels, however, changed hands at the following 

 ranjie: No. 1 Red, $1.50 to 152; Standard t-'pring. $1.10 to 

 1.1-2l4c; No. 2 Spring $1.00 to 1.02, and rejected at 85 to 80c 

 — all iu store. In tlieaftfrnoon there were no selUrs of No. 

 1 Red at the rulin figures on 'Change, nnd it was earnestly 

 believed amonfj df'alers that the sales at $1 50 were not pen- 

 nine. Tliey were reported, however, by reliable and respon- 

 sible parties. 



Flour continues dull and drooping. Corn was a shade 

 lower today, but the transactions were limited to abcut 15,- 



000 bushels at76c f. o. b.for choice canal; 71^ to 72c for No. 



1 in store, and C6 to 67c for No. 2 western. Oats were active, 

 but lower. About 9,000 bushels were sold at 48 to 48J4c for 

 No. 1 iu store, and 40c for rejected. Parley also declined 2 

 to 3c. Highwiues neglected. Hides iirm. Potatoes iu gcod 

 request at better prices.
