CHICAGO, MAY S.-There was an enormous
business done in wheat to-day at from a c
to lsIc advance on Saturdays closing
prices Partridge took alarm at tue
strength of both foreign and domestic
markets and took in short wheat whole
sale. One estimate puts his days pur-
chases at from 100000 to 100000 bush
els through his own houses and other
brokers. The wheat shorts seemed THOR
oughly frightened, and investment ouylng
was quite pronounced. Gables all came
higher and domestic markets were all very
strong; crop conditions also were repre-
sented as growing worse from day to day.
The bullish sentiment has been growing
for some DAYS, and the temper OF the trade
was in the proper condition to be easily
turned bv these reports, and notwithstand-
ing the better financial feeling IN wall
street and reports of warmer and better
weather in the Northwest, prices maze
big lump Later, rains were reported IN
France and in Hungary and there was
generous realization which sent prices on
nearly 1c,. but the feeling kept nervous.
The big decrease in the visible and strong
Continental cables acted as a cheek TO the
decline. Corn, market was firm az the
start, later becamg weak on heavy selllng,
closing at its lowest for the day. Inere
was a fair trade and a weaker market al
most from the start in oats. Provisions
were quite active, closing lower. Flour,
