| CHICAGO, April 1s.-The grain market de-
| veloped activity and strength to-day In the abb
sence of war news, the movement being appar-
emily based largely upon the crop outlook, which
| has induced considerable outside speculation
| The prospect of war has not been laid aside, as
the decline in English consols had its effect upon
| prices at the opening. Wheat opened at an ad-
vance of a cent The extremes of
prices for the week were S6I a 951 for the June
Nt1n
receipts of wheat continue light, the aggregate
for the week being 100000 bushels, with ship
ments of $50, 000 Crop advices continue dis
couraging, and considerable long" buying of
wheat is taking place upon the theory of short
crop. The advance in wheat to-day was
steady, the market closing at nearly
outside figures. There was good speculation in
corn, with some excitement attending the deal
ings in the May option, the shorts" exhibiting
strong desire to cover. The price for May rose
to 47sc and closed &c lower The other options
also ruled higher, bat at a discount as compared
with the prices paid for May. In the early trad
ing there was strong buying of oats, and prices
advanced l014c, but fully one-half the advance
steady. Provisions were fairly active and ruled
somewhat higher
