CHICAGO, May 2i-The conditions were favor
able to a good volume of business on Change
to-day, and speculative transactions in grains
were quite spirited and the markets generally
apparent in wheat at the opening, and which
started prices slightly under last night, did not
last long, and the first hour brought an advance
of from 10l11Sc in the various futures There
was a better outside feeling and some outside
buying orders. Foreign advices were not SEN
sational as on yesterday. The Price Current
estimate as telegraphed, was that the crop
prospects were not improved since last week.
In the pit there was covering by shorts, a great
deal Of changing to August, which put that
option at the premium of July. and good buying
lfn December. II was rumored that Hutchinson
was short and was scared, because he did little,
and 1t was also talked that he had helped others
TO sell their big load because the crowd would
take freely from him and think nothing OF il.
There was an uuusual squirt of buying just be
fore the Close, and July touched S796c and closed
about l14c over last night. Corn everything
considered was strong to-day Receipts were
steady from last night. and during the first hour
the large estimate IL 754 cars tomorrow was
made known prices went off l60Ac, and for
the time the market was heavy. Later there
was a hrmer feeling and a rally of about sc,
which made the closing prices about sc higher
for July. Oats were again active, with firm
and higher market. Near futures were espe.-
cially in request. May opened at 35lsc and
at 33Z6c. Very little interest was manifested in
the provision market and the feeling was some
what unsettled and prices irregular Early in
the day the market showed a little more
strength and prices ruled trfe higher Later,
however, there was more pressure to sell and
prices gradually declined again. Trading in
mess pork was mainly in transferring contracts
