CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL. April 4.-The wheat
market was I'm the hands OF the bulls
to-day. The trade was treated 10 hiteen
minutes Of intense excitement about the
middle Of the session, the result or which,
when added to a gain of &c from Mon
days close at the opening, showed a
net appreciation of &c. per bushel. There
was a slight recession from the outside
point of the day. but the final nYures
were 2izd28sc. higher than those or Mon
day. More reliance is being placed In
the crop-damage reports, which are being
received from the winter-wheat belt, anu
an equally strong argument for higher
prices is found in the drought which now
prevails i'm Kansas California also comes
10 the front with reports Of dry weather.
Corn had very narrow market, SHOW
ing no independence In its action. Ine
strength I'm wheat was the only influences
that affected prices. May fiuctuated be-
tween 377sc. and S1ssc.. the close beins
oats feit the effect of the general
strength shown in the other pits. AS there
was no particular reason Tor decline IN
prices. they held firm. in sympathy WIN
wheat, corn. and provisions. Al the Close
May was Am3sc. higher than at the same
time Monday. ...
Provisions were a. strong as anything
else on the floor. Pork showed signs OF
concentrated buying, which resulted IN
a scare among shorts. Prices were rapidly
advanced and closed very near the top.
Lard and ribs sympathized. strong
hog market helped in the advance. May
noTk closed 52lsc. higher than on Monday;
Nav lard zoe. Higher, and May ribs. 2I12c.
| higher.
