Chicago. April 22-When the wheat mar
ket opened this morning the bulls were in
control and the excitement and confusion
incident to the Wild fluctuations in the
price brought dismay to those who have
been standing by their short lines in the
hope that when the boom was over the
trade would fail into the old condition OF
depression. The bulge met with opposi-
tion from the start The enormous business
that was transacted during the session
argued that some extra ordinary influence
was at work on the selling side. The own

market was variously credited to Armour,
to Linn and to others Of the prominent

was undoubtedly owing to the Liverpool
adviees which reported excitement with ID
advance there. Dry weather in the south
west was also talked of and the prospect
was for a very large decrease in the
visible supply That statement finally
showed a reduction of 1,S61,00 bushels,
where 1885, 600 bushels was looked for.

crease of 10000 b. shells IN the amount on
passage gave further weight to the easier
feeling which developed during the morn

sold between 62i4c and 60hc, closing a.
612sc-19s011ac higher than Saturday. Cash
wheat was 1c per bushel higher in the cash
lot branch. No large lines were worked.
Corn-The corn contingent believed that
they were TO have share IN the DEMENT'S

broadening of the wheat market. With

advance corresponding to that OF the

covering by local shorts May corn opened
at 4s24c sold between acc and 4715c. closing
at 4sHc-s4c higher than Saturday. Cash
corn was 1c per bushel higher.
Oats were moving IN the channel Of the
other grains, the opening whirl lifting
prices 1c over Saturday. a reaction then
