CHICAGO. Anril 27.-The day was one of
strong excitement on Change, with wild fiuctua-
tons in wheat, due to the very conflicting news
| from London regarding the Afghan situation.
British consols were much higher in the early
postings, and the first transactions in wheat were
| apparently on the basis OF peace assured. Then
followed very rapid decline in consols, and the
| wheat market moved up but fell back several
| times, according to the changing tenor of the
| foreign cables The close for the day was about
| e under the latest figures Saturday, but &c over
the opening prices of the morning. There was
more outside trading, but the general
and uncertainty. and the opinion
appears to be general that it will continue until
| the question of peace or war is more definitely
! decided. The receipts of corn were large, but
as wheat. opening &c lower but active and finally
| closing &c under Saturday. The speculation in
corn good. The oats market was fairly
active, prices closing with no apprecable change
| as compared with Saturday. Provisions ruled
| somewhat easier. and closed shade lower.
