CHICAGO, April 2s.-There was only light
business transacted in wheat to-day. Outside
orders were fewer, and local traders did not
show any inclination to operate in large lines
or blocks. The unsettled condition Of the labor
question tends to interfere with business more
or less. Operators, too feel disposed TO await
deliveries on May contracts. The market also
seems TO have got into a rut and until IL IS
taken out of this no large business can be ex-
pected Fluctuations were confined within 40
&c for May and June, and &c for July, varying
only slightly from the closing figures of Satur-
day. and closed about &c lower for May and
June and lac lower for July. No important
news relating to crops was received, the regular
hiIllafinS
little more favorable. In corn there was only
moderate trade, the market ruling quiet the
greater part of the session, fluctuations being
confined within 14G3sc range. The feeling
was easier, and the bulk of the sales were at
reduced prices Fine weather and larger
movement and tendency to increase offerings,
and the market ruled lower in con equence. An
exporter sold May and bought July at / cent

afterwards advanced &c, reacted losing the
advance. ruled steady and closed 1s@4c lower
than saturday. Oats were quiet but steady.
Price changes we're confined to 14c, and closing
sales were at slight reduction from Saturdays

/ Tested in pork, and the feeling was somewhat
unsettled A local operator sold about 5000
barrels for June and July delivery, and this was
the prominent feature of the day. Opening
sales were made at 25@s30c decline, and fur

| Later the feeling was stronger, and prices
| rallied 100 SC, closing easier. A dull and weak
| feeling prevailed in lard during greater por-
ton OF the day, and prices declined TI6@l0c on
| the whole range. Near the close the market
was steadier, and prices improved slightly and
| closed steady. fair trade was reported in
| short ribs, and the feeling was weak. Opening
| sales were made at 5@71Sc decline, and a fur

the close the demand improved slightly and
prices were a little more favorable to sellers.
