CHICAGO, April 23-The speculative fever
did not run as high to-day Trading in all the
commodities was quieter than has been the rule
previously for some weeks. This was largely
due to the fact that the news from London and
st. Petersburg not in any sense satisfactory
as indicating whether the great powers are de-
terminedly bent upon war or not Opinions were
flashed over the cable, but these were easily OBJ
tainabe on this side of the water, so that oper-
ators paid very little attention to them. They
are now awaiting actual results and until the
absolute turn of affairs is very clearly outlined,
1t Is claimed that speculation will hang fire, as
the course of the markets is expected to hinge,
to certain extent upon the outcome
OF the present Anglo-Russian negotiations.
In the meantime, trading is pursued in very
conservative way. Foreign advices quoted
strong feeling in the London, Liverpool and
Paris grain markets, and generally higher prices.
British cOnsols also ruled lower, but there ap-
pears to be considerable desire to realize, and
good deal of long wheat was offered. There
was gradual decline of l4c from the opening
prices, which was aided somewhat by an advance
in consols. Later there was a better inquiry on
rumors OF large freight engagements but the
market sold off again, fiuctuated, and closed &c
under yesterday. The receipts of corn were
little larger, but speculation Jagged, and prices
show little change, May developing little weak
ness, with June and July somewhat higher. The
shipping inquiry was moderate, but outside
trading was smaller than usual. Trading was
very quiet in oats, with no essential change in
prices. Provisions ruled weaker; mess pork de-
clined 10 @l5c. closing at the inside.
Flour was quiet and unchanged
firm feeling and consols ruled lower early, but
considerable s'long" wheat was on sale and
prices gradually receded 14c from the opening,
reacted somewhat on rumors of heavy ship
ments, and closed &c under yesterday. The
sales ranged April. S7s a 88ac, closing at S7a "a
