CHICAGO, May Saturday afforded an un-
usual spectacle of very active markets
Change, and apparent strong revival of specula-
ton based upon the unfavorable crop outlook.
After the subsistence of the foreign war talk
prices fell off, and for a time speculation Jagged
traders apparently hestating which way to turn.
There was large short selling of wheat under
80 cents for june in the apparent belief that val
ues had been doomed solely on war talk, but
the recent bad reports from the winter-wheat
region has apparently developed a strong ''bullr
movement and the buying has been large both
ON local and outside account. The June option
IN wheat to-day reached point within &c of
the highest prices current during the period
when talk ovefshadowed every other con-
sideration and closed firm within &c of outside
figures. The May report of the Department of
Agriculture reducing the probable winter wheat
yield 120, 0O0, 900 bushels, compared last year
was one of the causes lending strength to to-
days trading while it was claimed that the
reports from the States made the matter alto
gether worse. Foreign advices have quoted
wheat quiet and steady. Corn ruled firm. sym
pathzing more or less with wheat, and closing
&c higher than yesterday. Oats ruled firmer
early, but the Improvement did not hold and
the market closed easy. There was very little
speculation in provisions but the market ruled
firmer.
Flour frmer, but quotably unchanged.
Wheat active and unsettled, but decidedly
stronger. Crop news continue bad and the
home markets were all quoted stronger. The
market opened "a &c higher, advanced to point
2sc over the closing yesterday, declined e, fiuc
tuated and closed &c over yesterday. The sales
ranged: May. S8s 090sc, closed at 9e3c; June,
