REVIEW oF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO, March -. Nor strength
and a greater degree Of activity chsrac-
terized wheat to-day. though other
articles in the speculative list were not
much affected. The war news and fall
ing consols contributed the bulk Of this
strength. The close at O'Clock was
firm at outside points all around. and
the highest figures of the day were pre-
yalent at the close Of the day. Wheat
averaged higher and was moderately
active throughout the first half Of the
day. The opening was full lc. over
yesterdays close. An irregular adj
vance Of e. was made in seller May
A later reaction wiped out the
fraction. but il subsequently re-
covered. Local shorts covered freely
and aided the stronger feeling engen-
dered by warlike cables. These latter
came in thick and fast, and were largely
responsible for the strength in the mar
ket. Consols were not lost sight Of, a
fall Of 9-lGc. being quoted. Toward
the close Of the morning session the
feeling became quite strong. Corn was
helped by the strength in wheat,
and averaged frmer, though only
moderately active. No. ? cash
sold for 40lc. The range in this
cereal was only &c., outside prices
being moderately well sustained.
Trading was chiefly on local account.
Oats continue very quiet. being barely
traded in enough to make a market.
Offerings were light and bids scarce.
Provisions were quotably steady, but
ruled extremely dull. and were lightly
traded in. The fluctuations were within
unusually small limits, with outside
prices generally current at the close OF
the morning session. The market closed
trong in the afternoon.
