Chicago, April n.-For the day imme-
! diately preceding holiday, the wheat
market had unusual activity during to-
/ days session. The business was trans
] acted mostly during the first and last
i hours, the intermediate period being rath-
er listless. Some few, shorts covered
fact that prices were not likely TO gain
/ much on the figures Of the agricultural
bureau, ii soon became apparent, and IS
/ the day advanced values .receded The
/ difference between May and July mar
| rowed from lac to lc during the morning,
/ but later widened out again, the demand
/ for the former having become restricted
A slump took place in the last few min
/ utes, the price resting at the inside quo
/ at soc, sold between 55iac and 54ssc, clos
/ ing at the latter-l4Q3sc under yesterday.
/ Cash wheat, car lots, sold at 4c advance
! over yesterday, but the nominal close
/ was weak with the futures.
/ CoTn--Corn was dull most OF the time
/ to-day. Defcrring to the tone of wheat
/ prices advanced early and declined before
! the close. May corn opened at 45%c, sold
1 between 4G3sc and 4515c, closing at 45ssc
4 nc under yesterday. Cash corn Hc high
4 er during the trading in that department,
/ but the close was nominally weak.
/ Oats-Wheat ana corn fluctuations di-
rected the course of oats. The business
! at no time assumed important proper
/ tions. May oats closed ssc under yestcr-
! day. Cash oats sold at &c advance, but
/ closed lower.
/ Provisions-The market for product was
I dry and unatJactive. Changing was the
motive for most of the business, but the
grain markets influenced some selling
around the end of the session The open
/ ing was weak on a decline of SC in hogs,
steadiness ruling until the final orders
were being executed, when values yielded
10 the pressure of offerings. May pork
/ lost 15c for the day and May lard and
/ ribs each 5GI715c.

Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing
