Chicago, April, 1O.-The wheat market
was one only in name to-day. on all
sides complaints Of the inactivity was
heard and it was quite apparent that the
houses that aim to employ the facilities
or doing large business were far from
meeting their running expenses. Two ex-
cuses were urged for the dizziness. One
/ was the near approach of holiday and
/ the other was the government report,
/ which was due this afternoon. There were
J no tips out on what that document would
give as the condition of the growing plant,
although some few essayed to make an
/ estimate thereon, but as the figures lacked
the necessary authority usually attaching
I to pointers" they were entirely d!sre-
! sarded. May wheat opened from 547sc to
55c, sold to 55bd55Ac, closing at 55m55hc
/ -1sQAc under yesterday. Cash wheat
| was in fair demand for car lots ana
prices ruled l4c per bushel higher
Corn-Business was altogether lifeless
! in the corn pit. The scalpers and floor
/ traders were lethargic, and like their
companions in wheat, permitted the mar
! ket to run itself The steadiness thar
/ marked prices was due to the frmness
4 of the surroundings. but there was not
/ enough business to make pronounced gains
! possible. MAY corn opened at 45Ac sold
! between 1850 and 457sc. closing at the
/ latter-1sc higher than yesterday. Cash
/ corn was steady to firm.
Oats-Beyond little changing from
May into the more distant deliveries,
there was nothing in oats to attract at
tention. The spirit of the other markets
extended to this and prices moved slow
ly, but presented some firmness through
| sympathy with wheat and corn May
closed 5sCDi4c higher than yesterday Cash
oats were shade higher, the feeling be-
ing strong.
Provisions-The packers took care of
the product to-day and when, after a
weak opening, prices We're on the decline.
the buying gradually improved. and be-
| fore the close a complete transformation
prominent factor, the crowd not caring,
| to oppose his movement The close was
/ 15c higher than yesterday for May pork
/ 2lzc for May lard and unchanged for May
! ribs.
