CHICAGO, april 1:-Quite a large business
was again transacted ia wheat, aud the feeling
was unsettled. The conrsa OF prices was
irregular, and the erratic nature OF the market
was due largely TO local specul alive influences.
Outside business continues good. There was
considerable interest manifeStei among local
dealers 10 decipher the movement OF a certain
operator here. The opinion seemed TO prevail
that the party in question was trying TO sustain
the market, and get rid OF some lines OF long
wheat, and as soon as traders thought they dis
covered an attempt to unload, the market
quickly weakened, and some rapid and sharp
changes occurred. The mar&et opened 15lD$4c
higher, and advanced 1sc more, then became
weak, and declined l442c for May and June
and &c for July. rallied some ami tiuctuated
frequently, closing about llse lower for May
and &c higher for July than the closing figures
on change yesterday. Trading centared mainly
IN July. most of the May transactions being to
effect settlements. Corn was fairly active and
a little unsettled, prices fuctuating frequently
within Ss0nlsc. but the market on tue whole was
frmer. The bulk of trading wa local, and
prices were governed largely by changes in
wheat The market opened firm at an advance
OF &c over the closing prices OF yesterday, ana
