CHICAGO. March 27.-On Change to-day
values were unsettled, with extraordinary
activity. At the opening, with numerous buy
| ing orders, the highest prices of the Gay were
current. Speculative trading was about the
average, outsiders entering quite we'll AS

war, wheat was nervous and unsettled early
| in the day, opening anywhere around SIC for
| May, June was steadier atS415c. This quickly
| declined on the absence of violent war dis
| patches, but subsequently strengthened, and
| advanced &c. AS usual, the affecting causes
were the cOnsOls and war news. The former
were unsettled, being alternately quoted a
| shade higher and then lower. The market
| quickly responded to these conditions. Corn
| held quite steady, with fluctuations confined
| to narrow limits. Towards the close there
was not very much attention paid to it. No 2
| cash sold at 4O54G4lc. The general course of
| the market was about the same as in wheat,
| fluctuations being induced by the same
causes. Oats were very lightly traded in,
| and moved but slightly one way or the other
| No outside orders were on the floor. PrOvis-
| ions opened firm and active at an advance of
| TIC in pork and ~ points in lard, but, after
| a further slight advance, the market became
heavy under free offerings and bearish efforts
of leading houses, breaking off in an irreeu-
| lar way l5c from the top price in pork. but
