CHICAGO, April l6.-The extremes Of
speculation were witnessed in trading on
Change to-day. The regular session was
marked by great weakness, a frantic unload
ing of "long" wheat and some evidences OF
| heavy short selling. This vas due to the
| peaceful tenor of the cables and the report
that the Car himself had personally sought
| an amicable understanding with England.
The market for June wheat dropped to S7S,
or nearly Sc under the high prices of Tues
day. The reaction was greater in the after
! noon, when the official denial of Gladstone
in the House of Commons became known,
| and the market rallied nearly &c from the
bottom, with a strong feeling on the curb.
The receipts were smaller, with larger
clearings from the seaboard. Crop reports
do not improve in tone, but all else, save
war, appears to be ignored by traders. The
! corn market was dull and heavy on the regu-
lar board, but the greater portion OF the de-
cline was recovered in the afternoon. Large
receipts and the severe decline in other
markets affected oa's and the market fell of
l@2c, but the greater portion Of the decline
was recovered. Mess Pork fell off heavily
again, declining 35@40c on the regular
board, but rallied 20c oil the afternoon
board. Lard ruled 74@l0o lower. Flour
ruled somewhat easier, but no appreciable
change in prices occurred. Wheat-Specu-
lative trading was on a large scale, with
sharply lower prices prevailing on the regu-
lar board; market opened 3@l3c lower, re-
coded Jc more and then rallied 4c, but
under a heavy pressure broke off again, de-
clining in all &c from the highest point Of
Monday, and closed 2!c lower than yester-
day. Sales ranged: April S4b@862c,c closed
