GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

To-day for the first time relations between
Chile and the United States had an appreciate
effect on the price of wheat in this market II
was near close of the season and the result was
the price, which had been 1c below closing
price of yesterday, jumped to point above that
figure, and closed strong. Market quiet during
most of session. Nearly everything in
the way of news unfavorable to holders
and offerings were fnll with
only limited demand. A rumor was circulated
to the effect that owners of American steamers
had been notified by the government not to
make any freight engagements but to hold
themselves in readiness to transport troops.
This caused a bull furry, under the influence
of which May sold up to 92Ac and closed strong
at 921Sc
Corn exceedingly dull, almost lifeless, in fact
| at prices shade lower, but tirmed up at last in
sympathy with wheat and closed at yesterday
| final figures.
! Oats dull and steady
Hog products weakened under offerings, but
| bulge in wheat caused upturn, which left close
only slightly below yesterday
