Chicago, April 26.-From start to finish
wheat was dull to day. No news that was re
ceived had the illty to stir up the trade to
important action. IL was apparent that
everything depends on the way of the settle
ment of the open May contracts. The uncer-
tainty which prevails in regard to this ques-
ton caused marked indecision ard re-
stricted trade to-day. The SCalpng fraternity
did most of the business, and they were not
particular which part they sided with, show
| ing willingness to assist either the longs or
| the shorts to llQuidate their may wheat Two
trades were made in May to-day, buyers
| option one at go &c and the other at tO4c, the
| regular market being quoted at 5Sl4 &c at the
| time. The trade was somewhat mystlhed as
| to why the regular form was discarded.
but finally concluded that as tney
we're in the nature of privileges, no signlh-
canoe was attached to them. May wheat
opened at 58ia@5S4c, sold between D 0791sQ
| 5Ssc, closing unchanged from yesterday az
583lc The range on July was between 6OAQ
60Llc, and the close was the same as yester
day at 6O1sc. Corn opened with the tirmnesS
of yesterday, still a feature of the trade. The
strength however, soon wore of, giving place
to feeling of ease bordering on weakness.
May sold between 3Sd639Ga95sc. closing at
the lowest point, a loss of "a from yesterday.
Oats-The May shorts in this market,
| although still somewhat nervous at the start
regaining confidence as the session
advanced to-day, and at the close
seemed to be in full possession OF
their assurance and masters Of the situation.
Nav opened 14c of from last nights close, at
| 34c: advanced to 349sc, then of to 331ac. The
close was at 3355c03324c, net loss OF 13c03sc
from Yesterday. Provisions were firm, on
the support accorded the market by pack
ers and shorts. Lard and ribs were more
| active than pork The higher opening
prices for hogs, smaller arrivals and increase

RESPONDING ones, held values considerably
The close was l-5c higher for May pork, nc
