CHICAGO. March 25.-More strength and a
greater degree OF activity characterized wheat
to-day, though other articles IN the specula-
tive list were not much affected. The war
news and falling cOnsOls contributed the bulk
of this strength. The close at I o'clock was
firm at outside points all around, and the
highest figures OF the day were prevalent. At
the close Of the dav wheat averaged higher
and was moderately active throughout the
first half Of the day. The opening was fol-
l5c over Yesterdays close. An irregular adj
vance OF l3kC was made IN seller May. Later
the reaction wiped out fraction, but il was
subsequently, recovered. Local shorts COW
cred freely and aided stronger feeling en-
gendered by warlllle cables. These latter
came in thick and fast, and were largely re-
spOnsible for the strength IN the market
COnsOls were not lost sight of, fall of GIG
being quoted. Toward the close of the morn
ing session the feeling became quite strong.
Corn was helped by the strength IN wheat and
averaged 1rmer, though only moderately &C
tive; No. cash sold at 4O1sc. The range in
