CHICAGO, May Trading on Change to-day
was on more restricted scale than has been
witnessed In two or three weeks preceding, but
the prevalent tone was one of strength, and the
closing quotations We're at about the best figures
of the day The advance in wheat was attrib-
uted to the cold wave, which is almost unprece-
denied in its intensity for this season of the
year, and continuation of bad crop reports.
Foreign advices quoted wheat steady and firm,
while the amount on passage showed a reduc
ton, The market opened 81 SC higher, and
again advanced &c under good local and outside
buying, receded &c, fuctuated, and finally closed
SC over yesterday. Consols showed material
decline from the opening quotations, but
appeared to have very little effect upon the
wheat market The speculative trading in corn
was only moderate, and the shipping demand
was less urgent and comparatively slow.
the receipts were little larger, but, influenced
by the firmness of wheat, the market ruled
stronger and closed 0sc over yesterday. The
trading In oats was of very limited character,
and prices ruled shade easier. The dizziness in
provisions was very marked, and while prices
ruled generally frmer, very little change in
prices occurred.
