CHICAGO, April 1.-THE extremes Of spec
ulation were witnessed in the trading on Change
to-day. The regular session was marked by
great weakness and frantic unloading of "long"
wheat, and some evidences of heavy short
cables and the report that the Car himself had
personally sought an amicable understanding
with England. The market for June wheat
dropped to S7sc, or nearly &c under the high
prices of Tuesday. TIL reaction was great in
the afternoon, when the official denial
of Gladstone, in the House of Commons,
became known, and the market rallied nearly &c
from the bottom, with a strong feeling on the
curb. The receipts were mailer, with larger
claimings from the seaboard. The crop reports
do not improve in tone, but all else save war ap-
pears to be ignored by the traders. The corn
market was dull and heavy on the regular board,
but the greater portion OF the decline was recov-
cred in the afternoon. Large receipts and the
severe decline in other markets affected oats,
and the market fell off l02c, but the greater
portion of the decline was recovered. Mess
pork fell off heavily again, declining 35@40c on
the regular board, hut rallied zoe on the after
noon board. Lard ruled q q 10c lower.
The -four market ruled somewhat easier, but
no appreciable change in prices occurred.
In wheat the speculative trading was on a large
scale, with sharply lower prices prevailing on
the regular board. The market opened &c lower,
receded &c more, then rallied &c, but, under
heavy pressure, broke off again, declining in all

closed BIC lower than yesterday. The sales
