CHICAGO. March 23-To-day's markets,
taken all in all, were decidedly more encourag
ing to believers i'll higher prices The indica-
tions around the opening were more than usual
ly discouraging; foreign cables were very weak
and some lower the visible supply statement
showed remarkably small decrease receipts
were large, rumors of strikes were current every
where, and above all, the weather was unusually
fine. In spite of all this, the break was slight,
and only lasted few minutes. May wheat
opened at 804c sold down to Soc, and then stead
lily back to the closing point OF yesterday. The
cause Of this strength was the unusual vigor
with which the shorts" tried to keep even with
the market The shorts" were busily buying
all day, and orders came in quite briskly
from outside as soon as the market
began TO show signs of recovery. Toward
Wheat is probably made duller by the diversion
that was made by the bad breaks in stocks at
New York. Quicker turns and bigger profits
were offered the bearishly inclined on Wall
street than in the wheat pit, and this gave the
smaller fry the market to themselves. In the
corn pit there was unusual strength after the
first decline, and prices closed at o'clock con-
siderably above the prices of the last few days.
In provisions the market opened steady and a
fraction higher for pork, and sold steadily up all
