Chicago April S.-Wheat needed a tonic
ness in the market aside of scalping opera
lions by local traders and professionals
and the entire range not getting beyond
extremely narrow limits. May wheat
opened from So to 547sc, sold between 55ls
G55Ac and 54&dd7sc, closing at 55c bid,
A9ssc under Saturday. Cash wheat
was dull and not particularly changed.
Corn was willing to go either way and
selling by local professionals of only mod
crate quantities accounted for the down
ward course. Wheat was accepted as the
guide when the business appeared too
light to weigh for either side. May corn
opened at 365sc, sold between 4G5sq46Ac,
and 46Ac, closing at 46h@AG2sc--ssc under
Saturday. Cash corn held well and no
changes in prices was quotable.
Oats-The transactions in oats were
slow, but moderate business went on all
day. Strength or weakness in wheat
and corn acted promptly and sym
pathetically on oats. May oats closed 80
nc under Saturday Cash oats were cas-
Ter and about 14c per bushel lower.
Provisions-A pretty good inquiry for
product was found to exist at the opening
and offerings at that immediate time were
inadequate to the demand. A light run of
hogs and an advance in their price COM
municated to the feeling of firmness to
provisions, but along later in the session
holders became less stiff in their views
and recessions followed. At the close
somewhat steadier tone developed and
final prices were 2Ac under Saturday for
May pork, unchanged from that for May
lard aud a shade lower for May ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
