Chicago. april 9-Ihs s6pyng of Nay LAY,
Of trade floor to-day. His purchases were
the best support accorded the market.
Gossip of late has been to the effect that
liquidation in the month referred to, was
to be expected at any time. and the good
buying which was seen to-day was in the
nature of a surprise. The weekly ship
ments to European countries was a mat
ter of conflict between New York and Chi
cago, the former wired that they amount
ed 1881, 600 bushels whilst the direct in
formation of the latter placed them at
5000 900 bushels. The difference seemed to
be the result in regard to the Argentine
exports. Either New York included them
twice or Chicago compilations did not
have them at all The immediate erect
of the liberal supplies of importing nations
was to weaken this market and the heavy
feeling continued throughout the morn
ing May wheat opened at 541sc,s sold be-
tween 55c and 54ssa54Ac, closing al 54Hc
bid-1sc under yesterday: In the car lot
branch of the market prices were steady.
The corn market was less apathetic to-
day than it has been for some time past.
The outside appeared to have adopted the
selling course and local professionals
were perfectly willing to help them along
The business was good, but such could
not be said for prices. May opened at 36B
636hc sold between 46Ac and 455sM4524c,
Cash corn was in poor demand, and was
quotably Adhc per cent. per bushel
lower
Oats-The fine weather succeeding the
general rains, and the heavy receipts de-
pressed oat prices to-day. The decline was
also in line with the action of wheat and
corn the influence of those markets being
in itself potent enough to adversely af-
feet the market. The business was fair
and the orders were well distributed. May
oats closed NC under yesterday. The cash
market was M41zc lower than yesterday.
Provisions-Here as in wheat, Armour
was the factor. Starting in in an indiffer-
ent manner, with several minutes elaps-
quoted. So light was the trade, prices
gradually firmed and after the call" be-
came strong. Armour bought right and
left on ribs, Shorts" getting alarmed and
covering freely of everything. The close
showed the full advance practically sus-
tanned, May pork resting with a gain of
Csc May lard 15c, and May ribs 15d17i5c.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
