Chicago, April 1T was the opinion Of
many that the easy market which wheat had
to-day was but a halting play in the upward
movement. There was more long property
for sale, and shorts, who were Still disposed
to take advantage Of the apparent change Of
sentiment and cover their wheat found less
difficulty in doing so than had been the case
on any other day this week. The only Incl
dent OF note was break OF y this Of
a cent during the first half hour
of the session, 4 prominent commits
sion house offered May wheat at 6i2z and
| found no buying orders in the pit They
offered the wheat down to G3z before sufl-
cient support was found to stop the break. The
dip was quick, not more than one minute be-
ing occupied in the descent Prices steadled
and slight recovery was subsequently made,
but upon receipt of the weather bureau indi-
cations OF showers for Kansas and Nebraska
| they again ruled weak. The feeling through
out the entire session was decidedly easy.
The spread between the May and July options
-Widened today, as a result of the facility
offered shorts Of buying the former.
I Ihe difference Ference to-day ranged Ms
wheat at the close showed a
net loss of 1as9l1ac for the day. Corn had
| nothing in its market TO attract attention,
ana very little that was worthy Of mention.
! From beginning to end it changed as did the
| wheat market. The general tone was easy,
| and at the close loss of sc from yesterday
| has been recorded. Oats maintained firm
| and strong undertone throughout the session,
| and gave no indication OF accepting the
| lead Of wheat and corn The close to-day
was &c higher than it was at the same time
yesterday Provisions opened firm and
| closed easy Pork was flrmer than lard and
ribs, but at the close was easier. Some good
selling during the latter part Of the session
| was responsible for the change in tone,
| Chicago, April Cash quotations were
| as follows: Flour was nrmer and active,
| INT prices showed no essential change.
