CHICAGO, April 3.-In wheat the trade was
fair, and fluctuations narrow. Opening about
l4c higher than Yesterdays closing, offerings
became quite free, and there was quite active
trading in various futures, but prices declined
15G9sc. Later offerings were not 50 heavy,
and with fair buying, prices recovered some
what and the closing was easy aud &c lower
for May and July than the closing yesterday.
There was not as much outside news, and what
influences were presented were generally favor
able to holders. Cables quoted steady and
f1rmer feeling. Tue movement IN the north
west is letting up some. Minneapolis and
Duluth having received only 40 ears. This
would rather confirm the statement made some
time ago that increased receipts for the past
two or three weeks We're due TO parties moving
in wheat from country warehouses good
many bad crop reports were received from
Illinois aud Missouri, alviceS from some
sources estimating SO per cent. damage The
weather in the west is generally favorable. The
temperature is spring like and plenty OF rain.
In corn rather nervous fe5lng prevailed,
prices fiuctuating frequently within $St1l5c
range, with the volume OF business quite luerdi.
The undertone appears quito firm, and blyiug
was more general than for some days back.
The market opened active and strong, with
slight advance over yesterdays closing prices,
aud under good local demand prominent
ira Ter buying May freely. the market advanced
Lc. A reaction of 149I5Sc followed tue early
advance, the local crowd becoming long aud
sold some, after which the market ruled strong
aud closed a shade better than yesterday. Oats
were moderately active and steady for May, but
stronger and q shade higher for July during the
early trading, but in tue latter part an easier
feeling developed, AMI closing sales were at
about inside figures and near the same as yes
terday's close. Most of the business conferred
in May, and prices fiuctuated l4c. july received
more attention and sold at one time within
403sc of May ami iS6D4c over June. There
was good demand for round lots, the shipment
of one lot of 100000 bushels No. white being
sold for export. In pork trading was only fair,
and the course of prices was quits the reverse
of that of the previous day. Early sales were
made at yesterdays figures, but weaker feel
ing developed later, and a decline of &c was
submitted TO- and the market closed quiet. In
lard a fine trade was reported, and the feeling
was rather easy and prices favored buyers Ga
the whole, a reduction of 2t6c occarred, aud
the market closed steady. In ribs the market
attracted more attention. Sales early were
made at yesterdays closing figures, bit a
gradual reduction of 21S05c took place later
