CHICAGO. March l2.-1he leading grains
were again unsettled to day, while the provi-
sion list dragged along heavily and with
marked unsteadiness; as general thing there
was less OF a showing Of war news, while pri-
vatc cables indicating loss prob abiiity of war
were rather more plenty; the fluctuations in
cOnsOis were also within narrower limits.
maElng the general market easier. Wheat
opened lIttle wildly, selii1g all the way from
S5iac to $3.50 for May IN different parts of the
pit; as a happy medium it was officially called

Clal features were developed, which confined
the fluctuations in the leading future 10 sc;
No. cash was quoted at Al 4,G4l1zc. Oats are
much neglected in all respects except mOder-
ate speculation in seller May, which fluctu-
ated sc, selling sparIngly at 32c; practically
nothing is done in cash. Provisions were a
shade higher at the opening, but IN no case
advanced over the early quotations.. the gen
eral tone OF the market was one Of more or
less heaViness, with no great disposition TO
enter into speculation by either faction; this
made the fluctuations cOnfine themselves to
narrow limits; the close OF the morning ses-
sion, though heavy, was a shade advanced
over the lowest quotations.
