CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, May l.--Wheat--There
was IA good. firm wheat market at the
opening and for the first three hours OF
The session. but it fiZzled out during the
last hour Large deliveries were looked
Tor on May contracts. but . the sur
prise of everybody. they were but OF
moderate proportions. the wheat b.inS
taken by Armour. Counselman. ana Day,
and other carriers. and by some or the
large commission houses. The limited
character OF the deliveries and the sta,
bility Of those VINO took the wheat served
as "A powerful bull argument, against
which weaker cables and large Baltic anu
Indian shipments were unevallins as de-
pressing factors. But later a decline set
IN TOO many people were looking Tor a
sharp advance. and bought wheat Literally
during the first part Of the session, but

lowed It's neighbor. July corn ranged p
tween 39i. and 3S&c. and closed al the
inside-s loss OF i.mhc. for the day, May
showing fractional gain.
Oats-Owing to the small stocks OF oats
In store. the deliveries on May contracts

WAS for that reason very strong, a good
demand for the near deliveriei existing
A the close May oats were &C. higher
and July "a fraction lower than yester-
day. .,,,,,
