REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. April 22.--To-day's mar
ket was = waiting" one in every sense
after the heavy closing last evening, duo
TO disbelief in the character OF the war
news. There was sharp opening this
morning, owing to the radical view that
war was happening likely TO come.
This was confirmed by another great de-
preston in consols. The prices for
wheat advanced fully lic. over the clos
ing Of yesterday, with June touching
92tc. but from that point the market
fell back under rather heavy offerings
to 002c., rose 90 lie. and then receded
to Ole. There was very little movement
after this, but the prevailing toae was
firm, and the market rose once or twice
close to the top prices Of the morning,
but in the absence of any definite for
eign news there was q disiHcli-
nation to force the market in
either direction. The receipts continue
small. The weather was favorable In
the West for growing crops. but the
general tenor of dispatches relating to
the crop outlook was discolraging.
There was a strong feeling during most
of the afternoon session. but the market
finally fell off to medium figures, clos
isg lie. higher than yesterday. There
was only fair amount Of trading in
corn, with tendency toward higher
prices, the market closing aalc. over
yesterday. The receipts Of oats show
falling off. and, with . fair demand,
prices ruled firm during the day, clos
ing somewhat higher. There was only
a moderate movement in provisions,
with prices generally steady and firm.
