CHICAGO, May2-The war feeling on Change
appeared to have very generally collapsed; at
least it was very sensibly lessened at the open
ing of trading, as was illustrated in the extreme
desire of some Of the purchasers of the two pre-
ceding days to unload. The advance in consols
and Russian securities emphasized this feeling.

in the session and altar that O cfppw oar fonlin1
prevailed on all the cereals, and the closing was
well up to the closing quotations of yesterday.
In wheat, the crop news continues unsatisfac-
tory, which fact contributed towards sustaining
the market, though but little attention has been
paid to the subject in the face of the war news.
Receipts continued small, aud another large de-
crease in the visible supply is counted upon.

was weak early, but recovered all of the decline
and closed higher than yesterday, the May OPP
