CHICAGO. April 21.-For several days past the
bulls in the wheat pit have had everything their
own way, and the unlucky bears have been
gored and tossed numerically. II was the
bears turn to-day. and they improved the op-
portunity by giving their opponents a rib

session, being at their lowest prices of Friday
