CHICAGO. May 6.-The day on Change de-
veloped into one Of active trading IN cereals,
the markets generally taking on 4 buoyant
tone despite the removal Of the war feature,
but reacted in the latest trading, wheat clos
ing for the day q shade under Yesterday. The
strength developed in wheat was generally
considered surprising in view of the auddeu
ending of war talk, and it was declared that
the war trade had been closed and that specu-
lation was now based upon the crop outlook
and the demand for grain; the crop news was
reported as coming in bad and as the market
seemed stubborn the shorts began to cover,
which ALSO stimulated buying and caused an
advance; towards the close of the regular
board and during the afternoon session the
feeling was weaker, and the market finally
closed n shade under yesterday. Corn was
influenced by the tirmness in wheat, and adj
vanced %9lc over the closing Of yesterday.
but reacted somewhat, though it closed gem
orally stronger than yesterday. Oats ruled
firm but weaker toward the close. and finished
about the same as yesterday. Provisions
ruled higher early, but reacted and closed
lower than yesterday.
