CHICAGO, March Bulletins of the pro-
gress of the anti-option fight were constant
" posted on Change to-day, and the crowd
surrounding them was lighter than the
crowd in the wheat pit. The defeat of the
bill seemed to be expected so generally that
the announcement Of the final vote, near
the close OF the session, produced only a
int "a
the bottom figures Of the day. Compared
/ with last night wheat is &c lower; corn
I &c, aad oats &c. Provisions showed light
gains, l0c for pork, 12l4c for lard and sc
( for ribs. The wheat market was waiting
one, operators being indisposed to trade
Z heavily, owing TO the uncertainty regarding
/ the action OF Congress. When the news
arrived that the bill had been defeated the
market showed strength, but failed TO Gre
ate much enthusiasm. On the breaks there
was buying by parties credited with repre-
/ senting the leading holders. The corn
market was dull and narrow, and for The
most part it was influenced by puts and
| calls. In oats, what little business was
/ done, was by shorts, principally in the way
| of buying TO cover. There was fairly sc
! tive trade in provisions, and after ruling
7 weak for time they improved and became
I quite strong. The receipts Of hogs were
rather heavier than yesterdays estimates
aud the price at the yards was somewhat
| lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow
| Wheat, go cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, Isl
cars; hogs, $1,000 head. Wheat, cast
