Chicago Market.
CHICAGO, March 27.--The markets opened
madly excited this morning. The great scene
4 of Interest was the wheat pit, aud during the
first quarter of an hour the trading was un-
satisfactory, prices varying I@lc. In various
1 parts Of the pit. During the carly trading
there was an appearance of strenuous effort to
break the market but outside buying orders
were numerous, and aided In sustaining prices.
y Many rumors were current, and had their
effect on prices, but transactions were generally
. based on the course of foreign securities.
Il Flour quiet and steady. Wheat unsettled.
There was great excitement during the first
quarter hour of the session, buying orders
being numerous, but there was also a strong
selling pressure, and quick decline of ~
from the highest prices. The highest figures
of the day were at opening. Trading was
quieter after the first hour, but the aggregate
trading of the day was large in volume The
market closed at about medium figures of the
day, and very nearly the same as yesterday.
