CHICAGO. March 6.-In tO-day's market the
general feeling was unsettled and irregular,
with values tending rather downward. the
principal cause being the varying prices in
foreign securities and conflicting war rumOrs.
The receipts keep up falr; neither large nor
small enough to materially AFFECT values
The close of the session was weak ut the
lowest points. Wheat was steady ut an al.
vance for the leading future. May was traded
in early prices varying from S}l5 g83c. latter
at the outside. The reported advance IN con-
soils weakened values early IN the day fully
L.. but home buying later induced a recovery
The course of the speculative market was
very unsettled, nuctuaung within l35c for
seller May. War news was frequently
brought out by both sides, and had a mOmen-
tary effect. For No. spring ne was bid
early hut the close was at NC. The specu-
latlve markets broke OF very sharply towards
the close, when the lowest prices of the morn
ing session were current, and the feeling was
one OF cOnsl ierdOie weakness. On the after
noon board the feeling was again weak and
prices lower, Corn held up firm f.r April
while the other months showed an easier
tone in sympathy with wheat. The bulk Of
trading, winch as Il whole was light, was
confined to May delivery at 4lNd424c In
every way the deal was featureless and the
closing quiet. Oats continue dull being
traded in to the slightest possible extent The
favOrite future of to-day only moved I4c, and
all the options closed easy. Provisions were
finn and fairly steady early in the day, when
&c higher prices prevailed. But trading was
lcduc q To the lowest possible extent. with
the tendency downward. May fell of l7l5c,
but recovered fraction. Local traders felt
bearish, and governed the market to suit
themselves. The close Of the morning session
was heavy and dun.
