CHICAGO. May 4-There was quite q change
OF sentiment In wheat to-day. The rains of last
night refreshed the bears" in proportion as it
improved the crop prospects; then, too, cables
reported down ward tendency at Liverpool.
These influences induced the local crowd to sell
wheat at the start. but the clearauces at New
York were reported at $685. 900 bushels, and they
turned buyers. Later, when it was found that
elearances should have read IS. 900, the "bulp
fever was suddenly checked and trade became
quite dull. July opened at S33c. sold of to S3t
063sc. reacted to S3s 0s3sc. and again eased of

and orders for 100000 pounds were said to
have arrived from Baltimore. The execution of
them caused prices to advance .05c. Long" stuff
came out freely on the appreciation, and the ad-

bought lard on foreign orders had orders to sell,
and let the chief buyer have over 500 tiercss.
Early sales were at slight advance, but the
increased offerings caused the appreciation to
disappear. Sales for July were at 8l7i 08 25c,
