CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO April 6-Whcat had n wide
range to-day. but the close was at no
very great gain over yesterday The sem
timent and undertone OF the market WtIr
clearly bullish. The shorts are on the
/ run. and crowded each other IN IN ir COW
/ ering purchases 1t Is quite evident that
the short interest in the May future eN-
ceels by far that OF july. Inc truIh OF
this received proof in the acton or the
two options, the spread between them At
one time narrowing 10 . or a CEN, May
! advancing and July remaining stationary.
At the opening the advance was it.liy e.
and al the close he separated. me tA-
citemeut WAS at no I'm" eN-
I cessive to-day. the market imblbllR new
/ strength as II advanced Who - buying
/ the wheat is a question that Is unansWer-
able offerings are absorbed, and yet
/ tha capacity Of the market appears as
I great as ever That thu outside world Is
/ IN to buy. and that the trade is broad,
goes without saying. Ihe range OF May
| was between GGi.c and 81 SC, the close
| being i.c. over yesterday at SAC. The
/ range VI July was between G6ts and 6Jc..
/ the close being -. under yesterday at
| GJlsc.
| have centred in this market was diverted
/ therefrom by the magnificent POSSIBLE
/ ties i'm wheat. There was some gOid buy'
| ing. and likewise some good selliAS, the
! net result being a. fractional gain over
! Yesterday The range OF prices was a
/ little wider than Of late May selling be
tween $3.50. and 2sAHjs5sc, closing al
/ 3Sft d39c.
0ats-This market was assisted to q
strong indertone by the Missouri report
The strength in wheat helped also; but
shortly before the end there was a soften
! ing Of prices, so that instead OF gain
there was a loss of sc. In May at tht
\ close.
! Provisions were not as active nor as
firm as they have been recently Tn,
, element of to-day's weakness lay In tbs
! selling Of pork and ribs by packers
! There was a disposition TO force prices
down shown by local traders. Neither
! the hog market nor the strength OF wheat
| mad any effect The close showed j loss
| Of 3Oc from yesterday for May pork
l 2isc. for MAY lard. and sc. for May cribs.
