Chicago. May 4,-Shorts in wheat wore not
scared TO day, but they were uneasy. The
market started in well, and as the session
progressed the outlook for holders improved.
Partridge made a show o, cling some wheat,
but finding that prices could not he kept
down apparently withdrew his orders. The
more conservative shorts bought literally,
and were assisted in their endeavors TO undo
themselves by the scalpers who went with
the tide. July wheat opened unchanged at
592sc advanced TO GO}9c, holding at the close
609s a fun cent higher than yesterday. The
cash demand was urgent, milers being the
principal buyers. From &c TO &c over May was
obtalnable for choice hard spring. Corn, whilst
not fully participating IN the advance OF wheat,
was nevertheless firm with an upward ten
dency. July opened where IL closed last
night, at 39Bc, thereafter selling tetween
that and 39540395sc, closing at Sghc net
gain of 9sc for the day. A moderate inquiry
for cash corn was noted, with prices ranging
4ds%c higher. Oats-May oats continued 10
show strength purely on the efforts of shorts
to get ont OF their trades. Offerings are light
Holders, although they do not make any
movement TO advance prices at the same
time refrain from Offering any oats, ana the
result is that shorts bid the market up
on themselves The other deliveries
we're firm May oats were at one
time lBc higher than yesterdays close
but later receded, and closed lc from the top
July closed 2s01ac over yesterday Cash
oats in good demand at &c advance. Pro-
visions were strong. The market was with
out feature Of note, unless the buying of pork
in moderate quantities by one OF the packing
institutions could be so-called. The strong
market for live hogs, coupled with the report
that the quality Of the animal was not so
good, was the main cause for the trmness at
the start. Later the strength in wheat had a
share in directing the course of prices for
products. July pork closed 3O5 higher than
yesterday, July lard 10c higher, and July ribs
Zoe higher
