| CHICAGO April 1.-THE wheat market. con
| sidered strong all the week by the majority ex
| perienced its greatest firnmeSS and activity ano
| touched its highest point for the week this
| morning. There we're many minoroaTguments
on the bull Side but authentic crop reports were
more powerful than anything else in lifting
| prices At this point there was such general
| buying that individual deals were lost sight of
| toward the close when it was pretty clear that
| Eva of
| the top had been reached for the morning. and
| there had been NC reaction, operators who had
realized and taken profits were believers in still
| higher prices. The action in May was as fol-
lows: Opening at 7s19c sold straight up to
1850 back to 1914 q 1850, up the second time to
1890, back to 1880 up to 7916c and back shortly
before the close to 7914c closing at that figure.
| The action in corn to-day was an uncommon
one. In less than one hour after the opening of
| the session futures sold about 116c over the
closing prices last night. At the close prices
were back to last nights figures The range
| was wide. but the volume of trading was not as
| large this would Indicate The bulge was
principally the result of two things-shortage in
receipts and scarcity of sellers when the stuff
was wanted May started at 5-3sc, sold up to
565sc, and closed at 5514c. Oats turned somer-
sauit with corn. May started at 324c, where il
closed last night, advanced to 331sc, and fell
back with corn and closed at 321sc, lc under the
best price of the day and &c under the close Of
yesterday. Provisions were moderately active,
stronger and higher, due to increased trading
and the advance in grain, also to light receipts
and higher prices for hogs. The syndicate was
buyer and seller and assisted in advancing the
price of May pork from S14 20 to S14 40. A good
many scattering lots of long stuff came out on
the advance and the recession to S14 30 followed,
last sales being at that figure September sold
at $14 80. Short ribs were active. May advanced
12c, selling to 81 3715. One firm sold freely on
the bulge and recession OF nc followed. but
last sales were at bC9713c above yesterday s
close. Lard advanced 10c but only closed SC
better than yesterday. May sold at 81 roo
80 and closed at g. 7216.
