Chicago, April Like an echo of yes
terdays unexpected bulge in wheat, there
was an advance of less magnitude to-day.
Shrewd observers claim that the elevator
men were at the back of the boom and
point to the comparative lack of strength
in the July option, when May was adVanc-
ing an evidence of selling by the
same people who were interested in adj
vancing May: To-day's advance of

fractions in corn. The elevator proprie-
tors were the sellers early. but the more
active condition of the leading grain dis
credited the trade in corn. No outside
business was done and traders did pretty
much as they pleased. May corn opened
from 45A to 45skc sold between 450t47ilc,
closed at 45lsc-Ac under yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
Oats-Traders in this grain dragged. A
very narrow limit covered the quotations,
the fluctuations rejecting the movement
of wheat. May closed &c under yester-
day. Cash oats We're steady.
Provisions-Orders, either to buy or sell,
were a scarce article In product to-day.
