Chicago, April i.-The wheat market was
in the hands of the bulls The trade was
treated to fifteen minutes of intense excite
ment about the middle of the session, the re
suit Of which when added to a gam OF Iiac
from Mondays close; at the opening, IL
showed a net appreciation of &c per bushel
There was slight recession from the outside
points of the day, but final figures We're
2I4@25sc higher than those Q, Monday. More
reliance is being placed in the crop damage
reports, which are being received from the
winter wheat belt and an equally strong ar
gument for higher prices is found
in the drought which now prevails
in Kansas. California also comes TO
the front with reports OF dry weather, Corn
had a very narrow market, showing no indie
pendence in its action. The strength in
wheat was the only influence that effected
prices May fiuctuated between 37B6S75sc
the close icing at 372037 3 c. Oats felt the
effect of the general strength shown In the
other pits. AS there was no particular rea-
son for decline, the prices held firm, in
sympathy of wheat, corn and provisions At
the close Nay was A0asc higher than at
the same time Monday, Provisions
were as strong as anything on the floor.
Pork showed signs Of concentrated buying
which resulted in a scare among shorts
Prices were rapidly advanced and clio sed
very near the top. Lard and ribs sympa-
thized. strong hog market helped in the
advance May pork closed 521ac hi cher than
Monday. May lard 500 higher, and ribs PC
higher.
