REVIEW OF CHICAGO MARKET.
CuICAGo. March 20.--In a general
way leading articles in to-day's mar
kets were stronger and quite active.
The advance in wheat came from short
covering, and was induced by yester-
days decline and continued report, Of
damage in the winter-wheat districts
There was little less activity and a
shade more settled feeling in proyi-
sionS. Wheat opened little iirmcr, and
kept up fairly well through the morn
ing session, huctuating within lc.
Outsiders bought fairly. and local
shorts covered in probably 800, 900 or
1000, 900 bushels. There is a wide
spread feeling Of nervousness in the
market. June Is well traded in. Both
the principal futures declined sharply
soon after opening on higher consols,
but recovered as quickly on short cover
ing, and at | o'clock closed aboit
steady; No. > spring sold at 17sc.
Corn continues steady, with tiuctua-
tons confined to narrow limits, and re-
spends rather slowly to the varying
moods OF wheat, on which the tone of
the market largely depends. To-day
there was only moderate business done.
and no particular features developed /;
No. . cash sold at 40c. futures
closed steady at O'Clock. Oats con
tinuc generally heavy and quiet; "A lite
squirt of activity followed the purchase
Of 10000 bushels May at 3llc., but
when it was later sold at 3l,c., the
market broke Off TO 81 r.. Provisions
were again active, and, III agencral way.
made arecoyery from yesterday break.
At the opening pork was steady and a
shade over the closing prices Of the day
before. but prices rapidly fell l2lc.
From this point there was short cover
ing, enough to advance it Doc. but this
was not sustained. The close Of the
morning session was steady at prices
not greatly changed from the opening
quotations.
