Chicago, April 2O.-What will be done with
the long May wheat, still remaining open, is
the question at present agttatng the mind OF
the wheat Spectator. One OF two things
must be done. Either the wheat must be &C.
cepted and paid for, or II must be liquidated.
II deception is not being pracuced by those
who are in a position to know, there are many
million bushels bought for May delivery
which have no sale yet recorded to round up
the transaction But few more days re-
mains before the greatest wheat delivery day
of the year will be at hand and some action
is, therefore, looked for very speedy. This
condition Of affairs was the main reason for
quiet market to-day, traders feeling disposed
TO await developments. Partridge selling,
which extended over the entire session, was the
principal feature OF the business. May wheat
opened unchanged from yesterday, 591ac, sold
between 59bG5gIc, closing at the outside,
net gain OF &c for the day. Corn--The range
Of values in this market was narrow but the
feeling was very firm, May corn opened I'M
changed from yesterday at 39c. ranged te-
tween 39540L39c, closing at 39G13956c. Oats
continued to hold steadfastly to the strength
which has governed the trade for many days
past. To the shorts the strength seems ineXs
plicahle but they require to cover up on any
symptoms OF an advance. They were the
best buyers to-day. May closed with net
gain Of nc over yesterday. Oats we're easier
with prices &c lower Provisions opened
easy and unchanged. The usual influence,
the hog market which was weak. made
prices decline out Of proportion with that at
the yard; the most OF the selling being done
by Kennel Hopkins Co. The talk was that
Bloom was letting go Of the remnants Of his
with suspicion, were inclined TO the belief
that II was shake out for the purpose OF
obtaining cheaper product. After the press
ure was removed there was rally to prices.
Lard showed firmer front than either pork
or ribs. May pork closed nc under yester-
day. May lard 7hc higher and May ribs 21zc
higher.
