REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKEg
| CHICAGO, April 24.-After q da,
marked by extreme nervousness an,
some excitement in wheat, accompanies
by a lower range Of prices, the market
finally closed in the afternoon with
moderately firm feeling, and price
practically unchanged from those Of yes
terday. There was an early decline q
lc. from the closing prices Of yesterda,
occasioned by liberal offerings O
"loDg" wheat and accelerated BY som
short" selling. This was due to tn
absence Of any warlike intelligence fror
London Of definite nature and . n
ported easier feeling in the foreig
grain markets. Toward the close q
the regular Board a liberal expos
movement was reported, and rumo
that France and Russia had formed .
offensive alliance against Englan
caused some excitement and an uF,vs 9
movement in the afternoon, so thu. q
the ground lost early in the day va
recovered. Outside speculation hs
fallen OIL, and there is a disposition o.
parent to await developments. III
weakness in wheat influenced the courS
Of prices IN corn, and there was an earl
d. arc OF &c., with partial recovery
the market closing fractionally undo
yesterday. Trading was light IN oat,
with somewhat lower prices early. wit
