CHICAGO, May 5.-The dawn of peace did
not have very serious effect on prices ON
Change to-day. The wheat market was
heavy and weak early IN the day, when the
lowest prices were current, but steadied later
on, and after suffering decline of nearly
cent recovered all the lost ground, and closed
well up to the closing prices OF yesterday,
with moderately steady feeling. With the
| prospect of war removed from speculation,
| great doubt is felt as to the probable course OF
! the markets, ami it is conceded that traders
/ with "bear" views will likely trade with
\ moro freedom than with a prospect of war in
sight as one of the possibilities, IL Is stated at
! least that there was freer short selling to-
/ day than had been witnessed before in
| weeks, but buying was also good on the
| prospect Of a short crop and IN the improved
| demand. Corn was very weak at the opening
! under free selling, considerable of which was
| for short account, and the effort to cover later
! in the day caused a rather sharp advance, the
market closing shade better than yesterday.
! The cash market for oats shows decline, but
| options ruled steady amt closed somewhat
| firmer than yesterday. Mess pork ruled quiet
and steady, and closed a shade higher than
| yesterday. Some of the latest firmness in all
the markets was ascribed to renewal of the
wariike rumOrs.
