REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. April l6.-The extremes
of speculation were witnessed in trading
on Change to-day. The regular session
was marked by great weakness and a
frantic unloading Of " long" wheat and
some evidences of heavy " short" sell
ing. This was due to the peaceful tenor
of the cables and the report that the
Gar had personally sought an amicable
understanding with England. The mar
ket for June wheat dropped to S7,c.,
or nearly &c. under the high prices Of
Tuesday. The reaction was great in
the afternoon, when the official de-
NAL Of Gladstone in the House Of Com
mons became known, and the market
rallied nearly 70. from the bottom,
with strong feeling on the curb. Re-
ceipts were smaller, with larger clear
ings from the seaboard. Crop reports
do not improve in tone, but all else
save war appears to be ignored by the
traders. The corn market was dull and
heavy on the regular board, but a
greater portion of the decline was re-
covered in the afternoon. Large re-
ceipts and severe decline in other
markets affected oats, and the market
fell off lac, but the greater portion
of the decline was recovered. Mess
pork fell off heavily, again declining
