CHIcAGO-Wheat-Qu a good business
was transacted to-day. mostly on local accounts.
The market opened firm and prices Ac higher
than yesterday, sold off trifie and then started
up advancing I@Hc, became weak and prices
declined 1QlLc, fiuctuated some and closed
about A@3sc lower than yesterday. Ihere no
doubt was an effort on the part OF operators
who bought yesterday and before to get rid OF
some of their wheat at the early advance, but
others were not disposed to take this wheat,
and as soon as they saw what was going on a
sharp break followed, there being more gen.
eral desire to sell. Some advices reported
the Northwest as buying on account OF bad
weather there, others claimed the Northwest
had sold expecting more liberal receipts next
week. Millers, it is said. sold here against their
purchases of wheat up there.
Corn was active but unsettled and fuctuatlng
frequently within a lc range. The influence on
the market on the one side was the favorable
weather and the free selling of May by two
large local operators. which had depressing
influence. On the other hand the apprehen-
slons of colder weather, dispatch from Sl
Paul predicting tall of Is to 30 degrees, and the
good buying for st. Louis account had stimu-
lating effect to the market. First trades were
at a slight advance, after which a decline OF 1s
Q4c was reached, then declined &c, and again
ruled firmer and closed with 14M3sc gain.
Oats were quiet and rather easier, especially
for May, in which the bulk OF the business
transpired. Prices for the last named month
huctuated freely within range OF 5sc, and
