CHICAGO, March There was an active
trade in wheat again to-day, and the feeling
was unsettled and decidedly vsrvous. Higher
prices were reached, but the full advance was
not sustained. The opening was about the
same as the closing yesterday, ruled strong and
advanced s4Q5sc, then, with some fluctuations,
declined 3SQ1ic. ruled stronger and closed &c
higher than yesterday. SORTS covered very
| freely, and one prominent trader. who of late
has figured on the short side, it was claimed,
oOuSul heavily. a KOO1 CeAl OF ItdlNtub was
INDUCED in, and had it not been for desire
| the part of some of the longs to take their
profits, prices would have reached the full high
| range. The days trade no doubt resulted in
great deal of evening up. Last cables quoted
/ firm feeling and moderate demand. July and
August were a trfie higher and the rest I'M
| changed. There was very little of interest to
| note in corn, the activity of wheat withdrawing
attention, and the trade was dull and dragging
| the entire session. The undertone was weak,
| and had it not been for flrmer feeling in other
| speculative articles the market, no doubt would
| have sold lower Transactions were in the
main local, but. few outside orders being on
| the market, fluctuations were limited TO lie
range, closing st0i4c lower than yesterday.
| Oats were steady and without new features of
special Importance. Offerings were net large,
and the demand not of q character 20 inspire
| large transactions. In mess park only q fair
| trade was reported. The early feeling
stronger and prices ruled a15O5c higher Latest
| offerings were slightly increased while the de-
mand slackened and prices settled back again
and clos d steady at inside figures. Lard was
stronger early in the day, and a few transac
| tions were made at slightly advanced prices.
Later an easier feeling developed and prices re-
coded again anu closed quiet. In short rib
sides trading was fairly active. Prices ruled
about 2l6c higher, but outside figures were not
| fully supported.

| firm, and advance of 10c per barrel was
asked. Wheat-No. spring 7S5sc: No. red
