Chicago, April 3.-The wheat market
was singularly firm for three quarters of
to-days session, losing all its strength
during the last hour and closing within
a fraction of the lowest quotation Com
mission houses were unanimous in their
complaints at the lack of business and
had it not been for the operations of Pard-
ridge and one or two others of the lead
ers and their following among the local
duh. The pit got pretty well loaded up
during the morning, and being unable TO
discern any prospect of assistance, was
obliged to part with their holdings and
hence the break near the close. This was
encouraging news, but 1t did not seem
to help prices much. The failure of Eu-
rope 10 coincide with the weakness
this side, of Monday, and the smallness
of the total shipments to importing coun-
tries lifted the market early, but on the
bulges there were large offer
ings from the big scalpers,
and declines followed in every in
stance. May wheat opened from 55c to
54M@55c, sold between 55I5c and Size clos
ing at 5iSs-Hm5sc lower than Monday
Cash wheat was nominally steady.
Corn offerings were not abundant to-
day, and their scarcity led shorts and
others to make pronounced effort to buy
The talk of damage to the Argentine crop
and doubtless made the demand more
eager The final weakness of wheat had
the effect of easing the feeling in some
degree, and the early advance was all lost
on that account. May corn opened from
46lac to 463sc, sold between 465k147c and
1886, closing at 46i2c a shade lower than
on Monday. The cash market was firm
and from l4dhc per bushel higher
Oats-The dullness that seems to be a
grain was in evidence, as usual to-day
The strength early and the weakness later
was distinctly sympathetic. May closed
Bdhc lower than Monday. Cash oats
were nc per bushel higher early but easy
later.
Provisions in product until
within the last fifteen or thirty minutes
were mainly in small lots. During the
closing moments large commission house
made an attack on pork and the other ar
tlcles yielded through their relation to it
for May pork. l0c lower for May lard
ana lIlRc lower for May ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
