CHtcAeo, May l3.-The wheat market
was very fat in the early trading, prices
dropping off Ia &c from the closing figures
last night. There had heen heavy
short selling DUNG the two preceding days,
and the bears seemed to be in complete pos
session OF the field, due in the main to the
advent of warmer weather. Then came in
some gloomy crop reports, the reported
presence of grasshoppers IN Texas, ana
good home and export inquiry tor spring
wheat, all of which occasioned an instant
revulsion in the temper of the market,
prices advancing sharply lsc from the bot
tom, with the bears showing frantic desire
to cover their short sales The trading to
the close in the afternoon was active and
the feeling was quite firm at the finish at
nearly the best prices of the day. There
was only moderate speculative business in
corn. Flour-Quiet and unchanged.

and weak cables, the market opened }c
