REVIEW or THE CHICAGO NARKsr.
CHICAGO. March l2.--Ieadiug grains
were again unsettled to-day, while tho
provision list dragged along heavily and
with marked unSteadiaesS. As gen
eral thing there was less Of showing
of war news, while private cables inii-
eating less probability Of war were
rather more plenty. The fluctuations
in conSols were also within narrower
limits. making the general tone easier.
whoa, opened little wildly. selling all
the way from s3t to s3fc. for May in
different parts of the pit. As happy
medium il was officially called S3le..
AT which figure the bulk changed
hands. Later fluctuations were ! C.. the
course being nrcgularly downward.
Gables were decidedly strong aud higher.
Private cables called the probabilities
against war. aud on this fact there was
free selling. considerable long wheat
was also brought ont on the decline.
/ The close of the morning session was
| about steady. Corn was fairly active,
and relatively firmer than wheat, though
it received the bulk of It's tone from that
market. Few, IL any, special feature.
were developed which confined the
fluctuations in leading futures 70
&C.: No. > cash was quoted at
4iiailIc. Oats are much neglected
in all respects. except moderate speed
lation ia seller MAJ. which iluctuated &C..
selling spsringly at 30. Practically no
thing is done IN cash. Provisions were
shade higher at the opening, bat in no
case advanced over the eariy quotations.
The general tone Of the market was one
of more or less heayineSs, with no great
disposition TO enter into speculation by
either faction. This made the ituctus-
tiOns eoniinc themselves 10 narrow
limits. The close OF the morning sea-
sion. though heavy. was at shade al
vance over the lowest quotations.
