CHICAGO, April 1L-Great strength was
again developed in the wheat market to-day, the
closing prices being at about the highest point
secured during the week. There was growing
belief that war would result as a consequence of
the strained relations existing between Russia
and England. The renewed weakness in English
consols was accepted as a precursor of open hos
tilities. The governments agricultural reports,
estimating a probable shortage Of 60,000,0 900 of
bushels in the yield, considering the shortage in
acreage and the damage to the growing crop,
in itself impaired stronger tone to the
market, while recent reports from winter wheat
districts indicated an even more critical condi
ton of affairs than has been shown in official
bulletins. The opening sales were made at
advance of a &C over the closing figures of yes
terday. The advance was met byliberal offerings,
which checked any further rise at the opening
