CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Like an echo OF
yesterdays unexpected bulge in wheat
there was an advance of less magnitude
to-day. Shrewd observers claim that the
elevator people were at the back Of the
boom, and point 10 the comparative lack
of strength in the July option when May
was advancing as an evidence or selling
by the same people who were interestes
in advancing the May. To-day's ad-
vance OF / cent from yesterdays close
lacked stability the entire appreciation
having disappeared at the close
The market opened easy, but after the
expiration Of the first half hour an at
tempt 10 cover some wheat. probably for
ST. Louis. discovered the pit bare of Of
ferings. The ,crowd, always ready 10
avail itself of just such opportunities
quickly bid prices up from 56i2 TO size
for May. At the latter figure enough
wheat was found to satisfy all wants
and more, too. From noon until the
close the reaction was slow, but sure. and
at the end prices rested at the SANE
place as they did yesterday.
May wheat opened al from 562s to 56Ac.,
advanced TO 57Izc, declining TO ana
closing at 56iac. Cash wheat was firm
and unchanged.
Corn.-With an eye on wheat, scalpers
still were able 10 work out few frac-
tlons in corn. The elevator. proprietors
were the sellers early, but the more ac-
tive condition of the leading grain dis
credited the trade in corn. No outside
business was done. and the pit traders
did pretty much as they pleased. May
corn opened at from 4524 to 455sc., sold
between 49, and 46ic., and closed a
4511q45@sc.-is0hc under yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
Oats.-Trade in this grain dragged. A
very narrow limit covered the quotations,
the fluctuations rejecting the action of
wheat. May closed &c. under yesterday.
Cash oats steady.
Provisions.-Orders either to buy or
sell were 2 scarce article in product 10,
day. 4 very moderate effort at buying
or any light offerings determined the
tone for the time being. but prices drift
ed into a heavy condition before the
close. May pork lost TIC for the day.
May lard, TIC, and May ribs. &c.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Uneuipg, ulRness Lowest. Closing,
