REVIEW o. CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. March is.-There was
little Of an attractive nature IN to-dag's
leading markets, everything being duh
and heavy. and averaging little lswer.
though not closing materially didere~t
from prices current twenty-four hours
ago. The affecting causes to-day were
consols and crop talk. Trading was
light all over the floor. Wheat WA
again \ little unsettled. tluctuating lie.
in the leading future. The opening Wa
steady fortAprl and May, but shade
lower for june delivery. Early strength
and bulge Of lc. were attributed 10
the reported decline in consols. but the
support was soon withdrawn. aud the
market Sagged &C.. below the opening
point. Under spirit of liberal selhug.
the shorts having previously filled
themselves from the lowest point.
there was recovery OF ,c. toward
noon. but the close at o'clock WA
easy and inclined 10 hesyineSS. No. 2
spring sold from - to I6ic. cash. The
market closed shade stronger on the
afternoon board. Corn was generally
,teadler than wheat. partly because
traded in to a much less extent. Xxx
cept in seller May there was no decline
below the opening quotations, and On
the month named the drop was very
slight. The upward range Of I, how
ever. was not confined to free sell
ing and sympathy Cor the heavy tone Of
other markets. The close OF the morn
ing session was quiet and about steady.
No. . cash sold from 80 to l0,. 0sts
were again very dull, with fluctuations Of
lin seller May, the only future traded ia.
There was little ,tuifoficred, and few BIDS
in market Provisions were fairly firm
early in the session, opening at an advance
of Sc. III pork and pc. in lard. aud fors
short time holding quite stIfliy up 10
the opening figures, but a the sessiss
advanced sellers became quite tree. and
at the close of the morning session the
market had saegcd off to about it, lew
est points and was quotably heavy.
Trading was entirely Of a local chsrsc-
ter and entered into bat moderately by
