CHICAGO. March 13.--Plour quiet

REVIEW or THE CHICAGO MARKETS.
CHICAGO, March l3.-Leading arti-
cles on Change to-day were unsettled
and generally lower. the prime causes
in grain being the varying quotations
for British consols and slight furry
caused by the closing Of trades for .
local commission house. Provisions
were lightly traded in and fell of fer
the want Of support. Receipts keep up
TO fair figure. On the afternooa
Board there was q delugc of selling
orders in wheat. caused by the pacific
tenor Of late London dispatches, and
the market closed &c. under top prices
of the day. Other markets were
steadier. Wheat ruled active, irregu-
lar, unsettled, and more or less
nervous from variety Of causes.
The chief interest in speculative
way still centres in the seller. The
bulk Of early trading was at point
&c. higher than yesterdays closing, but
the selling was free, aud the market
quietly dropped back lc. Then consois
came in little lower aud an advance Of
! &c. was made. by Ii o'clock feeling
Of considerable weakness had set in on
an unfoundcd report Of sharp advance
in consols. which brought out free sell
ing. The drop this time was salc. AZ
ter third recovery Of &c. all traders
were ordered closed for account Of
local firm, and the market touched its
lowest point. The morning session
closed heavy and unsettled; No. 2
spring was held at 77sc., but sold
at nc. Corn was a shade
higher at the opening, and felt rela-
lively stronger than wheat, though
the deal attracted only small attention.
The feeling was fairly strong until the
last break in wheat, when it fell on
from 43lc. in an irregular way to
1926; No. 3, cash, sold at 44,c. Oats
continued very dull and quiet, with
fluctuations of &c. in seller May, which
is the only future attracting any atten'
ton. Provisions ruled heavy during
the bulk of the morning session. the
pit at times being entirely deserted.
More activity and also more weakness
was observed toward the close than al
any other time. An advance Of sc.
was made in pork, but later il was
more than lost. All hog products in &
speculative way closed heavy at about
the lowest points touched.
