IL a day of surprises in the wheat mar
ket. The operators we're like well matched
contestants IN q wrestling bout first one and
then the other party being uppermost and the
victory III the end was a narrow one. but such
as il was rested with the bulls. Wheat for May
delivery is &c higher than at the close OF the
market on Saturday. A fair amount of sseadi-
ness was the first characteristic OF the trading
followed in few minutes by decided weak
ness. The price for May at the star.
was e75zc. with plenty OF sellers
at SIZE. with a lightning transforma-
ton to e75sc and as quick change to 971<c, 97c
and down 10 $3.50 before buyer predominated.
The fluctuations here noted occupied the first
half hour OF the session. The predominating
influence st the opening was the cold wave
hurrying hitherward from the Northwestern
storm reservoir. and this was succeeded by the
easy wheat market at Liverpool and the eX-
pectstiOn of not over 100000 bu. decrease In
the Official visible supply. But the chief dis
tGrbing factor 70 holders near the opening
was the heavy receipts at primary markets.
Cautious local spectators were indisposed TO
sell short after weeks decline aggregating
Sc per bu and easily persuaded
themselves when prices began to recover from
the break noted above that the least dangerous
operation was 10 buy FOR tarn." The local
crowd was encouraged in the above conclusion
by good many outside buying orders, ana De-
fore they called halt the prices OF May wheat
bad advanced to s7Is@9sc. Early in the day
Linn, Cudahy and Partridge were the sellers
most prominent and persistent, but covered on
the break. At the highest price the prominent
spectators named were sellers onoe more, aud
the crowd was with them. Bloom bought
heavy on the first advance, and at S71lo he was
bidding only for a quarter OF q million.
From 975z@96c for May there
rapid decline. commencing after
the visible supply was posted and
$3.50 reached with every appearance of q
further break, when it was whispered around
that Liverpool stocks had decreased 10000
bushels In q week, and the crowd. having sold
itself short, again became alarmed, and in their
efforts to clear themselves. the price shot up
in Eve minutes to 97ssc. The opening strength
Of wheat made FIRST trades in corn close to the
latest quotations of Saturday. May opened at
$3.50 with sales at 531zc and also at 5S1sc.
There we're few sales soon after 1T $40
535Sc, and these were followed by n slump of
&c, and after an interval OF trading around 63c.
