CHICAGO, April 20-To days cables wer
quiet and a trife weaker. came down towr
expecting to see the bottom drop out of the
| wheat market, but, alas! was "dead wrong
for reports came in that No. 2 spring was
being sold in New York for export at $1.44
and as that figure was fully equal to our prices
and the milling demand was large up, she
went, and got left. l am beginning to be 6
very large bull, as the receipts are
not equal to the demand aud the
half million bushels and there is nothing to
come forward until the new crop is harvested.
The curb for May is $l.32.
Corn didn't have the turn that wheat took,
but as good Methodist deacon is under the
deal of course it will go heavenward.
Provisions were very quiet, but didn't de-
cline and have great faith in higher prices.
