REVIEW or CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. April 1.-The markets
generally were weak and lower at the
opening, but gathered strength as the
day advanced, and with the exception
of provisions closed at about the besl
figures of the day. The wheat mar.
ket, which was advanced yesterday
afternoon on report that English con
soils were lower, fell OF fully lc. at the
opening, when an advance in consols
was posted. At the decline there wa.
good buying, aud a number Of order.
were reported from the Yiater-Whsa'
districts. from which numerous discour
aging reports as to the growing crop
were again received. Some large lines
by local operators were alsd 70
ported !9 hays bten taken. tn,
s.ccl:s OF wheat In Liverpool April
LIST were reported to be 30O.O0e
quarters, as against Cos, 900 quarters
one year ago, and the stocks in London
as 227, 900 quarters, against 662, 00e
quarters one year ago. The statement
was also made that contracts had beer
made for the shipment Of large quaint
ties from the wheat in store here, all o
which has tended to impart certain
decree Of strength to the market. In
the corn market speculative trading
was light and fuctuating, the market
closing shade stronger than yester
day. Oats were firm under the good
shipping demand, and showed q frac.
tionsl advance over yesterday. Provi.
sions were weak on the publication Of
the large increase of present stocks
over this date last month, and pork and
lard both showed q decline.
