CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
! CHICAGO. March 2l.-Operators in
wheat were considerably worked up at
the opening of the session to-day, and for
| that matter the anxiety was manifest
| throughout the entire day, because OF
| the belief that there would be freezing
| weather over the Wlnter-wheat belt within
| twenty-four hours. The fear was potent
enough to cause an advance. which,
| though small. was accompanied by
very firm feeling; but just before the close
| offerings became large, and some of the
advance was lost. The situation In cash
wheat showed little change. Prices ave-
ragged about nc. higher. May wheat
opened at 5Sc.. advanced to 5Si2c., changed
| some, and finally eased off to 5Slsc., where
It closed, with net gain OF lsgl4c for
| the day.
Corn was ruled by the feeling in wheat.
The trade was unimportant, and the tone
| strong until near the close, when decline
took place, following a similar one IN
wheat. with the exception that IL carried
the price below yesterdays close. whereas
wheat showed a gain at the end. May
| ranged between 37l4 and 317sc.. The close
was a slight fraction below that or yes
terday, at 31AN37ssc. The cash demand
was light. Prices averaged nc higher.
Oats showed no trace OF the excitement
that prevailed for few moments at tho
close Yesterday, but the advance made
then was tenaciously held. To-day's mar
ket was firm, with the strength entirely
an induced one. May at one time showed
an advance OF sc. over yesterdays close,
but last prices were only fraction
higher.
Provisions were slightly higher to-day.
The pit seemed TO be well supplied with
buying orders. Packers bought and so
did commission men. A steady TO iirm
hog market and the rather strong whea;
market helped 10 sustain and strengthen
product At the close May pork was
i0c. higher than yesterday; May lard i12c.
higher. and May ribs 7isc. higher.
