REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. April Ito all out
ward appearances the contingency Of
foreign war was eliminated from specu-
lation to-day, and after break in
prices early in the day, as the result Of
carly cable advices and the strong adj
vance in consols, the market ruled firm
at medium figures, accompanied by
active trading. Throughout the entire
session, despite peace adylces, specula-
ton continued strong, and orders from
the outside are reported large. In the
rush to sell this morning prices declined
2Ia3c. below the closing of yesterday,
but there was good buying at the de-
cline, and prices gradually rose l. c.
from the inside, iuctuated, and closed
&c. lower than yesterday. The feeling in
corn was very unsettled. and broke lal ic.
at the opening in sympathy with wheat,
but improved under free buying lAc.,
eased off trife, and closed about the
same as yesterday. The pressure to
,ell in the oat market was not renewed,
and under a good demand prices closed
lasc. over yesterday, Greater activity
was witnessed in the pork market. A
very week feeling prevailed at the open
ing, prices dropping 20a30c., but the
demand improved later and prices raj
lied l0a20c., and closed steady and
showed very little change.
