Chicago April 5.-Yesterday's cash
wheat business was still bearing fruit this
morning at the opening of the market for
that grain. Yesterdays closing advance
was due to buying by local and near at
hand speculations, and this morning it
was the country and other outsiders who
We're furnishing the demand. Prices
started higher and afterward made a
further fractional gain, but the skeptics
were circulating doubts as to the amount
really sold 10 so abroad, the effect of
which was to lead holders to take profits
Ream was openly a free seller, and to-
ward the close others Of the noted OPP
orators disposed of wheat, presumably
for short account. May wheat opened
from 55it to 559sc, sold between 55isc and
55i2U555sc, closing at 55ssc-ssc higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat was firm, very
few cars being on sale and prices not be-
ing quotably changed
Corn-There was but a light trade in
ing professionals from selling short, but
the country orders to buy did not ar
rive in the number which the movement
would seem to Justify. May corn opened
at 467sc, sold between 1870 and 1850,
closing at 46s4c-lsc higher than yester-
day Cash corn was firm, without being
noticeably changed in value.
Oats we're firm. The strength was by
virtue of the higher wheat market and
not to be ascribed to individual consid-
eratiOns. The prospect of rain was unfav-
orable to buyers, although the elevator
people were taking some. Cash oats were
unchanged.
northumberland from May into
the more distant months was the main
feature of the product business to-day
Commission houses, generally speaking,
were buyers early, and ArmOur'S brokers'
appeared TO want ribs. Before the close,
the selling desire seemed to take possess
sion Of the majority and the demand not
not having any vigor in it, prices declined
all around. May pork closed l212c lower;
May lard 212c lower, and May ribs 5Q71zc
lower.
