REVIEW OF CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO, March 23.--ln a general
way to-day's leading markets were
quiet and uninterestins and traded in to
a very moderate extent. Wheat opened
ia@c. higher under the influence of
lower conSols, aud during the first hour
or so advanced irregularly &C., but
there was little Of interest and few, If
any. outside orders. The entire range was
only &C.. No. . spring was quoted Mt
76saT6tc. No interest beyond those
represented by local traders entered
the market. Toward the close of the
regular Board there was more active
buying, and the market closed at the
top figures of the day. The feel
ing on the afternoon Board was
easier. Corr ruled very steady. but
fcaturelcsS. The leading future only
moved ic. No. > cash sold at ~ tal0c.,
according to location. But little inte-
rest centred in the market one way or
another. Tomorrow inspection Is
expected to show $50 ears. The close
Of the morning session was about
steady. Oats continued u little bet
ter than lifcless with to-day's fluc-
tuatiOnS of only ic. About the only
feature is a liberal export movement.
Provisions were active earl IN the day,
but rapidly sought lower level Of
prices and fell off Doe. on heavy offerings
and free receipts at the yards at bottom
prices. There Was about enough local
buying to induce recovery of l2!c. for
pork. The close of the morning session
was heavy at a decline. Noted local
operators were about the only traders.
