Chicago
CHICAGO, April ia decided change
came over the spirit OF q great majority OF
the bull traders on Change this morning.
At least those who have been specializing
upon a certainty Of an early declaration OF
war by England against Russia, were tom
pered with the predictions of peace and a
strong advance in English consols appeared
to emphasize them. At the opening in con
sequence there was pauicky dumping OF
long wheat, and the strain placed upon the
brokers in pit was very great. The mar
ket broke nearly 5 cents from top prices
Yesterday and illustrated how great a por'
ton of trade was operating upon the pros
poets of war. June wheat touched 9O9c,
but at that point advanced to 9l2; there
was free buying and the market rose to 925,
but fell of again to Gle, rose again to 92c,
declined again, fuctuated and closed at
final dealings for the day Of about | cent
over lowest price. Wheat-0pened pm
icky at a decline of 2@3 cents lower than
the close yesterday, based on foreign news,
lowest point being 43c under the highest
prices Of yesterday, then rallied l2c, eased
Of lc, then rallied again on good buying
orders and unfavorable crop reports, ius-
uated and closed 2ic under yesterday.
Sales ranged: April Si@85sc, closed at

Speculative market ruled very dull,
shorts" having covered very freely of
late; this and heaviness of other markets
caused weaker feeling and prices declined
l6lic and closed about inside figures;
