UNITED STATES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT.
GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKET
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO March 12.-Trading In wheat was &C
tive aud nervous; local influences governed the
market and the general impression was that some
of the large bull traders were selling out their May
wheat. Interest conferred principally In May,
which opened shade weaker and closen &c lower.
July, on the other hand ruled steady and sold Ac
over, and &c under, Yesterdays closing figures,
and closed &c below.
A moderate business was transacted in corn, and
the feeling comparatively firm considering the
weak tone of wheat; the activity in other markets
withdrew interest from the pit, and trading was
local, and fluctuations were confined within q
A0lBc range.
Considerable interest centered in mess pork and
trading was quite active. Prices ruled irregular
though somewhat higher. An advance of 3O035C
was gained about the middle of the session and
moderately supported. The extreme figures, how
ever, were not maintained.
Lard AID short ribs sympathized closely with
pork,
