OAICAGo, May 3. -To.day's cables were
strong and higher. Wheat was dull and
draggy, though quite firm, but there were
rumOrs afoat that big deliveries woald soon
be made and this scared some OF the longs and
caused an unsettled noon close. AS matter
of fact about 100000 bushels were delivered
by the clique, but they bought it all back. On
the call instead OF the bottom falling out as
was expected, she doomed up and since call
prices have reached the highest point of the
day, the curb for May now being l.28x.
think the gang will run the deal all summer
and make us eat something besides bread.
Corn is still on the up turn and will go much
higher think.
Provisions are also higher and keep up with
the procession very we'll.
