Cotton I'D grain, 2u2Ad
Chicago, March 25.-There was more or
less of an advance over Saturday at al
times to-day. Several times the quota
lions touched the closing figures of that
day, but they quickly recovered. The dry
weather scare was mainly responsible for
the firmness. The winter wheat belt was
still without moisture, and judging from
the widespread area of high barometer,
was not hkely to receive any In the i'm
mediate future. The visible supply de-
creased 10000 bushels; rather a heavier
amount than was thought probable late
last week The best prices were estab-
lshed just prior to the close. May wheat
opened at 55iac to 555sc, sold from 55h to
56hc. closing at 56c-&sc higher than Sat
urday. Cash wheat was firm.
CoTn-There was a few country buying
orders in corn to-day and UP until noon
what might be termed a fair business,
was seen. From that hour TIL the close
the trade was apathetic. May corn opened
from 461sc to 463sc; advanced TO 47c, clos
ing at 467sc-5s4%c higher than Satur-
day. Cash corn was firm and nc higher.
Oats were higher. the advance coming
through the medium of more meritordous
wheat and corn markets. Business was
not heavy enough to attract any at
tention, other than usually received May
closed 9sd1sc higher than saturday Cash
oats were frm to Nc per bushel higher.
PROFESSIONALISM interview giving very
strong views of hogs product by Armour,
was published in the newspapers yester-
day. Instead of doubling his sincerity as
they usually do in this instance. the
crowd took him at his word and bought.
Higher hog prices at the stock yard and
the burning of a packing house contain
ing a large amount of provisions at
Kansas city also influenced for strength.
At the close May pork was 421ac higher
than yesterday. Nav lard, 25Q271sc higher,
and May ribs 171zG20c higher.
Chicago. March Is, noon.-The market
