CHICAGO, May 2.-The war feeling on
Change apI cared to have very generally
collapsed ard at least was very sensibly
essened at the opening Of trading, as was
illustrated in the extreme desire Of some OF
the purchasers of the two preceding days to
unload. The advance in consols and Rus
sian securities emf hasized this feeling The
lowest prices, however, were current early
in the session. and after tina: stronger
feeling prevailed in all cereals, and the
closing was well up to the closing quota
tons Of Yesterday In wheat the crop news
continued unsatisfactory which fact con
tributed to the sustaining of the market
though but little attention has been paid to
the subject in the face of war news. Re
ceipts continue light and another large de-
crease IN the visible supply is counted up
on. The market closed about &c under
Yesterday, though at one time it was cent
lower. Corn was weak early, but recovered
all of the decline and closed higher than
yesterday, May options showing the greatest
strength. Oats was steady and in fair de-
mand. Provisions were generally weak and
