CHICAGO, May 21-There was greater ac-
tivity in the pit to-day and the feeling was gen.
ma rlat oh
tivity early in the session, stimulated by
decline in British consols Shorts were rather
anxious to cover, fearing that fresh complications
had arisen regarding the Anglo Russian stu
alton, and there was not much wheat offered.
Opening sales were made at an advance Of &c on
closing figures of yesterday and the market
quickly advanced 4c more. Foreign advces
caused more inquiry for wheat, and held firmly,
was an Improvement. In consols more dispo-
sitIon was shown to sell, under
which prices declined &c, then improved
SC, ruled steady, and closed ON the
closed &c higher on the afternoon board The
crop news received during the day showed no
Improvement in its tenor, and a dispatch from
San Francisco stating that the Hessian fly was
injuring the crops in the San joaquin wheat
district had bearing upon the market in affect
ing values. A moderate speculative business
was transacted in corn and the shipping demand
was limited. The market opened strong, :
higher and advanced &c additional, then ruled
weaker and fell back &c. A lack of shipping de
mand was reported and Liverpool, was quoted
rather easier Operators showed a reluctance to
sell freely, and the feeling toward the close was
steadler, the market closing steady aud &c over

ruled shade higher.
