Chicago, April s5.-The difference between
May and July wheat narrowed TO l&cdl3fc
from 2Ac to-day; the close showing gain OF
&c over yesterday for the former and a loss
OF 1sc04c for the latter. The changed con
ditions we're brought about by an attempt
midway in the session, of Partridge to change
large line OF short wheat from the near into
the far option. The attempt was partially
successful, but the plunger suffered in the
operation. Armour also did some buying OF
May and selling OF July, and his action i'm
parted very strong feeling TO the market
especially for the May. Prior TO the furry
spoken Of, there was very little life to the
trade, the opening being weak Very little
action marked the trade until the bulge men
toned above took place, after which lrmer
feeling ruled in May, with July presenting
less strength. Cash wheat was in good de-
mand at higher and stronger prices there
was more activity, as rule, in July than in
May wheat TO day. July opened 6O4cd60Tc;
sold between 81 and 60AcG60l4c; closing at
6013c. Corn was strong throughout the entire
session, save a few minutes weakness at the
start. The primary cause for the good feel
ing was the unprecedented strength shown by
oats. The trade was much less than that
transacted in either wheat or oats Nav
opened at 385s cGc3Sa4c; ranged between SOC and
3S3sc; closing &c higher than yesterday at
SS$c. Oats-1his market had an un-
for the active and extraordinary strength dis
played was due entirely to the anxiety and
nervousness felt by shorts The offerings OF
May day were uncommonly scarce, and
those who wished to buy were forced to bid
with the natural result of advancing prices
materially May closed at the extreme out
side point Of the day-34Ac; a gain OF lAc
over yesterday. Cash oats were in good de-
maud, prices ranging 1acG4c higher Pro
visions opened firm on an advance in hog
prices. Some tone was given to the early
prom nent packing concern assisted by a
large commission house Pork was rela-
lively weaker than either lara or ribs until
the sharp bulge in grain occurred when it be-
came firm, and all three products advanced to
and closed at or near the highest point of the
day. There was a fair demand for cash
product for domestic consumption, other &C
counts ruling quiet. Domestic markets
closed higher and foreign dull. Receipts
were good Of meats and light OF lard. whilst
the shipments we're liberal of everything
May pork closed l0c higher, May lard 100
higher and May ribs 7Izc higher.
Chicago, April 25.--Cash quotations we're as

there was but little shipping inquiry the feel
ing was shade frmer, with prices unchanged
