REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. April 20.-The wheat
market acted wildly to-day. with con-
siderable Of a rampant bull feeling, oc-
castor ed by flood Of wsrhkc rumors
from London and sharp decline in
consols. The market opened unsettled
and rather weaker, due to the warm,
spring-like weather, and consols showed
a slight decline when first posted.
Then when the full decline in consols
became known there was o Scramble to
buy, and prices rose &c. from the
opening figures in twinkling. The
market fell somewhat, but closed on
the regular board ic. over Saturday.
There was another rush to buy in the
afternoon on variety ofwarlike rumors,
June advancing to 81 lc. fell OF tc. and
closed &c, higher than Saturday,
Operators also figured on further de-
, crease in the visible supply, which as
sisted in the frmness some. There
was active trading in corn, accompanied
by rather strong advance, but outside
figures were not sustained. Nav op-
tions rose lc. over the closing of Sat-
urday, but fell back and closed about
&c. higher. Oats ruled quiet, and while
the opening was firm, the market closed
&c. under Saturday. There was q fair
amount Of speculation in pork, with
prices l5a20c. lower early, followed by
a reaction which carried prices up to
about the close Of Saturdays prices.
Lard exhibited very little change, and
trading was only fairly active.
