CHICAGO, March 8.-Emperor Williams con-
dtlon caused some uneasiness among specula-
tors to-day. Scalpers loaded up in anticipation
of bulge, which they expected would come
when any favorable news arrived. Finding few
seized shortly after the opening with desire to
sell, and began dumping their holdings in such
promiscuous manner that it caused break of
14c in wheat, sc in corn, and s6c in oats 1t
was only temporary, as buyers soon appeared
and began buying back with more vigor than
they had previously sold ami the result WIS a
sharp Sly that carried prices a sh4Se above
the opening. Wheat was nervous and largely
influenced by reports received regarding the
condition of Emperor William. The market
ruled quiet. although there were several spurts.

size, became weak, and closed at S03sc. The
action of corn was surprise to all. Trading,

sold about 800 600 bushels. Several large com
mission houses also sold heavy lines Prices
dropped &c under heavy selling. and for time
the market looked as though a further decline
was inevitable. There were at least 100000
bushels du nped during the morning. When
prices started upwards it did not require any
manipulation to cau,e a rapid rally, and out
side figures were touched before / O'Clock
There was active speculative trading in oats
and fluctuations were wide and quic6 for that
market. May opened at 3l15c sold down to
3l16c, up to 3l55c, and closed at the opening
figure. In provisions the changes witnessed
again favored the holding side. There was no
particular activity in trading, and nothing
or surprising in the business transacted yet
strong undertone prevailed the market. Higher
prices were the rule Speculative interest was
divided between pork ami short ribs Lard was
quiet. May pork sold at $l4 0O114 i5 and
closed at S14 05 Lard sold at 81 1907 7216 and
