CHICAGO, April 20.-Wheat broke three
cents to-day, aud July for the first time is
no longer the under dog. Armour as a
seller caused the whirligig, and though ne
bought q quarter Of O million bushels oil
Nav later on, the famous nearby month
was at cent discount at the close. The
very poor prospects for the next winter
wheat crop do not improve, and now alarm
begins to spread into that great stronghold
of the bears, the far stretching spring
wheat regions Of the Northwest. Reports
from there were that the country was ten
DAYS behind in seeding. Corn was trliiie
steadier, but no material change occurred
in values. Oats, dull. Provisions were
strong throughout except at intervals, the
last prices being the highest reached.
