CHICAGO, March 25.-Outside influences TO-
day were q great deal more encouraging to the
long side of wheat, and prices were kept from
slumping off. as they did yesterday. A large de-
crease in grain on passage, which amounted to
l6O. 600 quarters in the United Kingdom alone,
together with news of a more quiet state OF at
fairs in the Southwest. were q few of the more
prominent causes of cessation of hostilities in
the wheat pit. May wheat opened at 80sc, held
steady for almost an hour, and then weakened
slightly on heavy selling by a few heavy opera
tors. After a few minutes of dullness, the buy
ing began TO start up from old quotations, slim
ulated in the first place by the report of a few
country buying orders, and heavily increased by
the crowd of room traders. From S0sc May
wheat sold up to 8l5c in the course OF the
first two hours, but afterwards declined to SOsc,
and closed at ] o'clock, and also at z o'clock,
at 805c. In the corn pit there was q fairly act
i've business, but the range of fluctuations was
narrow. The market was inclined to be firm,
but was Handicapped by a large amount of sell
ing orders, in the hands Of traders, at 39c. May
corn sold as low as $3.50. and as high as 800. In
provisions there was only a fairly active market
May pork sold at So. 80 at the start, but on buy
ing orders advanced to 50. So, but later sagged
back to SO. 824, near the close of the session.
