Chicago, April 6-Wheat had wide range
to-day. nut the close was at no very great
] Yesterday. The sentiment and
dertone Of the market were clearly bullish.
The shorts are &c under, ana crowd each
other in their covering purchases " IS quite
evident that the short iGrerest in the May fu-
| ture exceeds Y far that Of July. The truth OF
! IN s received proof In the action OF the TWO
| options the spread between them at one
time narrowing TO d OF cent May advancing
! and July remaining stationary. At the open
| ing the difference was fully cents. and at the
/ close but % of u cent separated them. The
! excitement, though high. was AZ no time eX-
! CeSsiVe to-day, the market imbibtng new
! strength as IL advanced. Who Is buying the
! wheat IS a question that Is unanswerablo
| Offerings are absorbed, and yet the capacity
| OF the market appears as great as ever
! Ih1t the outside world is in to buy
! and that the trade Is good, goes without
! sd ing. The range Of May was between 66i4c
! and % &C. the close being &c over yesterday
! at 64d6lAc The range OF July was between
! 66Ac and 65c, the close being sc under yes
| terday at 65hc. Corn-Interest that other
| wise would have conferred in this market was
| diverted therefrom by the magnificent posi-
| hilities In wheat There was some good buy
ing and likewise some good selling, the net
result reing fractional gam over yesterday.
! The range Of prices was little wider than OF
| late, May selling between 39bc and 3S49
8Basc, closing at 3s%030c. Yesterdays last
trade was at $3.50. Oats-This maraet was
assisted 10 a strong undertone by the Missouri
crop report The strength in wheat helped
| also, but shortly before tho close there was
softening in prices, so that instead OF gain
| there was a loss of rec IN May at the close.
| Provisions we're notas active nor as firm as
! they have been recently, The element OF to-
| days weakness lay In the selling OF pork and
ribs by packers There was disposition TO
| force prices down shown by local traders.
| Neither the hog market nor
the strength OF wheat had any effect. The
close showed loss Of 2Oc from yesterday for
May pork, 21ac for May lard, and SC for May
! ribs.
