CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, April 1T was the opinion
of many that the easier market which
wheat had to-day was but Il haltins-place
In the upward movement. IRere was
more long property for sale, ana snOrtS
who were stlll disposed to take advantage
of the apparent change OF sentiment and
cover their wheat found less diiilculty
In doing so than had been the case on
any other day this week. The only IN
cident OF note was break or &c. during
sion-hOlses offered May at 6i3sc., and
found no buying orders In the PIT. They
offered wheat down 10 63b2c. before SUM-
cient support was found 10 stop the break
minute being occupied in the descent
Prices steadied, and slight recovery was
subsequently made, but upon receipt Oh
the Weather Bureau indication OF show
ers for Kansas and Nebraska. they again
ruled weak. The feeling throughout the
entire session was decidedly easy The
spread between the May and july options
widened to-day, as a result OF the facility
afforded shorts of buying the former.
The difference to-day ranged lls4li2c,
against "a OF cent yesterday. May
wheat at the close showed net loss OF
13,Qliac. for the day.
Corn had nothing in its market to at
tract attention, and very little that was
worthy or mention. From beginning 10
end il changed as did the wheat market.
TIE general tone was easy. and at the
elise a loss OF sc. from yesterday had
been recorded
oats maintained a firm and strong I'M
dertone throughout the session, and gave
no indication of accepting the lead OF
wheat and corn. At the close to-day May
was lsc. higher than it was at the same
time yesterday.
Provisions opened firm and closed easy.
Pork was firmer than lard and ribs,
bur at the close was easier. Some good
selling during the latter part of the ses-
sion was responsible for the change in
tone.
