MARKETS BY WIRE.
Chicago Produce Firm, Strong and Higher
Large Dealings in May Wheat-Corn
Suffers Depression, but Receivers
-Provisiouz Are Animated.

-EfUVlSlOub ATc huiAnbsous
cHIcAGO-The markets we're strong to-day.
May wheat found hosts of buyers at q 0277a at
the start, and it ran up inside Of minute to
81 025<. About 10 minutes later, under the In
fuence of very free selling out Of the early
purchases and the putting out Of short wheat
by the local crowd, the price was down to
81 02k A great deal appeared to be wanted at
the latter price, but very little changed hands
until 1t was back again to 81 021 and 81 0233ss
The frmness at the opening had sew
eral sources, the principal of which was the
continued firm tone of the market for cargoes
in England and cablegrams reporting the Ber-
lin Bourse agitated on account Of the move
ment of Russian troops contiguous to the
Austro-G erman frontier. There was talk of
late seeding season likewise. The main infu-
ence after the first break was the foreign news.
May advanced to 81 0Sss4. Export clearances
from the Atlantic seaboard Yesterday and
Thursday were liberal of both wheat and -four.
Strength continued to be the feature to the
close. May sold up to 81 04.and closed at 81 05A
bid.
The corn market opened moderately active
and very firm at 66c bid. A weaker feeling
succeeded, the market being apparently with
out the support of the latest bullish manipula-
tors. The price sagged gradually to 6516c, and
there was no appearance Of prices recovering
until the buyers of cash corn became urgent
and bid up the price of No. 8 to a point above
the May price for No, g. From 65c No. 3cash
was bid up TO 671zc in short time. OF course,
the speculative market became at once strong.
and excited shorts soon had the price of May
corn above &c, and its old friends also rallied
once more to its support. After the price had
reached 671sc it became steadier, but still re-
tanned its strength, and in the end made a
further advance reaching as high as 67ssc, and
stood at 671<c at the close.
There was considerable realizing in the oats
crowd, and also considerable selling of May and
buying of July. The buying was mostly for
short account, and was well scattered. The
market opened Nc above the close OF Thursday
and suffered slight decline, hardening and
closing at highest prices of the day. making
gain Of Ic. .....,.,.s.,
Trading in provisions was very animated. The
receipts OF hogs were light and the prices
higher. That gave the market its opening
impetus, under which prices scared. Lard and
ribs Wed with pork in both activity and strength,
and ultimately surpassed it. Pork advanced,
compared with Thursdays closing prices, 75c
per barrel; lard 40c and ribs 45c.

Watson & Gibson point out the salient fea.
lures of speculation in the following tele-
graphic letter TO John NJ. Oakley & Co.:
Scientists have pretty well established the
fact that all diseases have a microbe germ.
Political economists and fnanciers should take
up the same line of investigation and find the
microbe of this oppressive dullness.
Business in wholesale dIygoods Is dull. but
merchants don't try to excite confidence In the

down to 81 cents. and. of course, they went
off like hot cakes" This same treatment will
bring life to railway stock, and we doubt If
