rumors tending TO show that IL would or would
not become a law prices went Up or down The
markets, especially wheat. were nervous and
'spotty." subject to periods of great
activity and excitement, followed by
would shoot up and down and
for considerable time would remain very
steady. Bulls and bears alike were on a strain
and ready to run at the first sign OF danger. On
the curb yesterday afternoon May wheat, which
had closed at S9ssc, sold off to size, and this,
together with a reduction of 1s0Ad in values
start this morning. Prices, however, we're very
ragge1 at the outset and in
the excitement widely varying prices
were made In different parts of the pit. Those
who had not recovered from the scare of the
day before made low offers willis many Of the
cool heads, who did not much fear the passage
OF the bill and who wanted to forestall anything
like panic at the start, bid well up. The result
was that quotations from different parts of the
pit ranged from $50 to S94c. Buyers,
however, were in the majority, aud
many scalpers failing on the buying movement
At the prices mentioned they undertook TO re-
alize profits by unloading. but the demand
having in the meantime been about satisfied,
there was nobody to sell to and prices plunged
down in two minutes to eS56WS9c. Then fol-
lowed a period of inactivity, followed by an ad-
vance to s91sc; it then broke to ss&c

was but little business and nothing in the way
OF influential news, the market being dom
mated wholly by an uneasy and uncertain feel
ing. which has grown out of the proposed legis-
lation in Washington. Near the close there

was at 1890. Oats were dull and Compare
