CHICAGO. March 23.-Tns day was an exciting
one on the Board of Trade during most of the
session. IL was bull campo en- in all parts,
and bears were being tossed high in tue air In
all trading pits. Excitement carried prices up
in nervous Jumps, and there were times when
it was impossible TO buy anything on the specu-
lative lists without bidding up and up, as an in
ducemenJ to holders to part with a little of
their much coveted possessions Wheat game
2Ssc, corn 1870, oats &c per bushel, aud porx
SOe per barrel over Saturdays closing quota
tons. Wheat started on jump, and toward II
o'clock, after having advanced &c per buShel, il
broke through all restraints and made jump
of an additional NC ia about five minutes.
Cables were very firm, with strong upward
tendency, and the weather in England was
called frosty. A mistake in Bradstreets record
of the worlds visible su ply, as reported Satur-
day, was made, reducing totals by 50,O0000o
bushels, and corn was advancing Nc at jumps
in starting price for May, and wheat from
81 o2 to 81 0e94, with very little sold below the
highest OF those figures; around 81 0 u aud up
to 81 03 buying and selling went on at a rat
Ting rate TO about five minutes. and fuctua
tions were darling up and down between Quota
tons given, with an occasional shoot upward
to 81 03I4 during the first hour and half of the
session. and then followed the excited advance
already alluded TO, under which May was
pusnedupward to 81 04ls. The rapdty of ad
vance can be Judged from an incident of trad
ing; some of the most successful local specula-
tors were among the heaviest sellers on the ad-
vance. 1t was not until the viSibe supply state
ment was published. showing 159.12S bushels
increase during the last week, that any general
disposition to fight the advance was indulg ID
in. The price of May worked backward to
81 03a4, but only rested there very bri fly,
when 1c was quickly clapped upon quotations
last set down. The highest point reached was
81 0454, and it was wanted at within &c of the
top as trading ceased for the day Shcrts in
corn were in even a worse predicament to day
than on any OF the former days of their recent
grievous trouble The weather was damp and
receipts we're 90 cars less than were estimated
on Saturday. There were sales of May made
~ VIC many ublcE inter-
mediate prices, all the way up to 6S14c; that
was the high point until considerably alter in
the session, when it made another upward rush
to soc, the top price of the day. Strength and
excited bidding upon every up turn we're promi-
nent features of the days business. oats par
took of strength that characterized every
thing else on the floor. The closing was I6Dlc
higher. New York bought short and the local
scalping crowd helped the advance. The pro-
visions pit the counterpart of all the others.
1t was difficult to execute orders. so quickly do
offerings dry up when buyers are most clamor-
Gus. The receipts of hogs were g. 900 head below
estimates. and prices were higher. The shorts
were run to cover, and had to pay heavily for
the privilege of getting out of the bad deal.
