CHICAGO, April l4-Wheat was active on all
months May, June and July deliveries shared
in the activity, though interest is shifting into
July, and the greater part of the Trading CEN
tered in this month. Speculation was again
wild and transactions rapid and violent, and
reached a higher point than has yet been
touched in the up-turn. The feature of the
marcel day was the varying difference be
tween different futures and the selling OF July
close to May. June ranged from the same to
J4c premium. and also sold &c discount below
May, and later 64c was made. but gradually
improved, selling to within 2Hc of May, and
closed at &c discount. The opening for May
was 1laQ@316c higher and July 1022c higher.
May sold up NC more and then broke of &c and
closed 1A4c higher. July Did off 1 &c and then
advanced &c. and closed about 29sc higher than
Saturday. mae highest point reached to-day
Shows 1915 advance from the lowest point
reached some two months ago, and equally ad-
vanced 12Nc in the yame period. of course
speculation had everything to do with the ad-
vance to-day and shorts, thoroughly frightened,
again scrambled to cover, aud there was con-
siderable excitement at various intervals. Tlere
has no doubt been active buying of May to
cover shorts, and at the same time. while there
was goo deal Of July sold, the latter devel.
oped active buying. Outside business was very
large, and there Is no denying that the country
is trading heavily. Foreign ndvices were of
favorable tenor, quoting higher prices and firm
markets. In corn there was an i'm nelse bust
ness. the volume of trading being heavier than
at any time in the late advance. Tine feeling
was decidedly stronger. and transactions were
at considerably higher prices, with May and
July receiving most attention. The speculative
market opened active and excited at an advance
of Ac over the closing prices of Saturday, and
under an urgent general demand from shorts
advanc ID quickly NC. but at the top New York
receivers and local longs sold freely, ard prices
reactei to about opening quotations. There
were more outside buying orders that came on
the market. and prices sold up &c. ruled easier,
and closed va sc better than Saturday. There
was more doing on outside account than on any
day in weeks Oats were fairly active and I'M
settled; opened firmer and l40ssc higher. May
and July advanced nc more, reacted and de-
ciined est14c. Later a stronger feeling devel-
oped and prices advanced 1505sc, but toe mar
Saturdays closing. In mess pork there was
quite an active business early, but the market
was considerably unsettled Offerings we're not
very large aud the demand was rather urgent.
