Chicago, March 12.-At one time to-day
wheat was within a fraction of being 3
cents higher than yesterdays close, which
gain was not be sneezed at, the bulls feel
ing grateful for the relief from their past
woes, and the bears not exactly relishing
the situation. There was drop from the
outside, shortly before the close, on an
onslaught of short sellers, with much real
izing going on at the same time. The gov
eminent placing the farm reserve at So
600, 900 was primarily the justification of
the advance. but Bradstreets report of
a decrease in the worlds visible supply
of 1884, 900 bushels was secondary motive.
The cents of appreciation was added be-
tween the closeslast night and the opening,
so that the usual accompaniment of eX-
citement and agitation was missing. The
Daily Trade bulletin criticised the govern
ments estimate of wheat still invisible,
claiming that from 10O,000000 bushels
to 105, 900, 600 bushels would more properly
represent those stocks. This no doubt
tempered the ardor of spectators, giving
rise, it did TO doubts as to the agricul-
tural departments accuracy. May wheat
opened from 563s to 564s, sold between
56ltc and size closing at 56s4c-21sc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat was strong,
at an advance of 1G1l2c per bushel
Corn-There was quite a similarity be-
tween the opening of wheat and that of
corn, but the acting during the day differ
ed materially. The full gain that was
established over night was not maintained,
professional and the large commission
houses that had "long lines" taking ad-
vantage of the bulge and selling out their
holdings. The government made low
serve in farmers hands, but the tip yes
terday, which was largely played by the
talent, was for even less than the Wash
ington statistics gave. When the early
operations were over the market turned
to wheat, receiving some help from that
quarter. Prices did not again reach the
point where they began, however, and the
close was quite tame. May corn opened
from 471R6J47c, sold between 461zc and 471Rc
closing a 465sc-ssa1kc higher than yester-
day. Cash corn was &c per bushel higher
Oats-EVen the booming wheat and corn
markets were without ability to lift the
been for so long. There was a slight adj
vance, but the trade was very slow and
dragging. Bradstreets gave a decrease
in available stocks Of l22,000 bushels. May
closed AM%c higher than yesterday. Cash
oats were Ad1zc per bushel higher
Provisions-Product except for a brief
period succeeded the opening, did not par
take of the good feeling that permeated
the grain markets. 1t was evident that
interview Of his published in the morning
papers advocating bullish principles. The
hog market was weaker which was an
other reason for the lack of strength in
provisions. The close was PFC higher than
yesterday for May pork, 5n712c lower for
May lard, and sc lower for May ribs
Sales of listed stocks aggregated sc, 900
shares; unlisted, 1900 shares.
