Chicago, March 19.-After a moderately
active opening in the wheat market, the
business degenerated into one almost re-
markable for its slowness. About noon
there was another period of activity and
weakness and at the close the shorts and
put holders gathered in their profits with
deXterity and ease. May wheat opened
from 557sc to 56ikc; sold between 55iac and
56Ikd56L4c closing at 55Ao-lac under yes
terday Cash wheat was AMisc lower.
Corn-The corn market was again very
much in evidence and the action and feel
ing a thing of joy to the bulls. A well
known commission man and operator who
has been doing some manipulating of pork
on an extensive scale during the past few
days, was prominently trading in this
market Wall street was also reported
to be taking a hand on the long side. New
Workers were the leading buyers, at any
rate the small stocks at the seaboard and
the urgency of the cash demand here i'm
buing them with a sentiment in favor OF
higher prices May corn opened at 1880;
sold between 461ac and 47Aq47ssc, closing
at 47Ac-9sG1zc higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was 15G$4c per bushel higher.
Oats-Oats were viewed from the stand
point Of corn, steadiness to firmness pre-
vailing although the action was slow.
There was an entire absence of feature.
May closed 1s@Ac higher than yesterday.
Cash oats were &c per bushel higher.
Provisions sold off from the opening, a
partial recovery raising values from the
extremity of the decline. The profess
sional whose operations have been pre-
viously noted, was the leading seller, but
he did not stand alone on that side, the
sentiment being that further advance
just at present was not TO pc expected.
The hog market was easier which further
tended to increase the weakness. At the
close, May pork was Csc under yesterday.
May lard sc lower, and May ribs R12q
l5c lower. Domestic markets were quiet
and easy and Liverpool steady to firm.
