CHICAGO. March 24.-At the opening on
Change to-day there was every indication,
points would be reached by leading grains and
provisions-in fact, wheat opened point lower
than it had touched, May being quoted at 769Ac.
The wheat market was at the mercy of manipu-
lators at the start, but after the opening it was
left TO itself for a time, and May advanced to
1634c. The weakness returned later, with re-
newed selling by professionals, and the price of
May was kept between 76lzc and 76l6c the
greater part Of the time until the close, which
was at the latter figure. After somewhat
irregular action the corn market closed 1A0t14c
better than last nights prices, and 111c lower
than the price one week ago The exports here
this morning we're less than expected, and addi-
tional trouble the Burlington led to the belief
that the receipts would be still lighter for a
time. The first action of the market was
downward, however, and continued pounding
until May went from 4S7s050c TO 6l40a 46azc.
Then it rallied to 503sc, the best point of the
day, and closed at SOC. Oats sold at or near
last nights prices, closing a shade firmer and
higher. May sold at S014c and 9O16c, and closed
at 30skc. Bears INDUCED in another raid on
provisions, and succeeded in forcing prices
lower than at any previous time in months
Pork was the feature, and came out in large
lots more rapidly than operators expected.
Margins have been called sharply of late, some
being below S13. Small longs saw nothing in
the situation to warrant holding, and unloaded.
The opening sales were highest, and the closing
almost the lost, showing decline of 42l6c from
yesterday S closing figures. Shorts covered on
the decline. Brokers supposed to represent
bulls also bought, but failed to sustain the
market. May pork sold at S13 30013 M, and
