Chicago, April 1.-The general rains of
yesterday, while giving relief to the farm
ers in the way of aiding the growth of
off the value of that cereal between Sat
urday night and Monday morning. Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa were not so well
favored as states east of there and more
moisture would be acceptable in that part
of the winter wheat country. The pros
pect of fair decrease in the visible sla,-
ply, which was fulfilled by a reduction of
1,465,000 bushels, tended to check prices
from declining further, and the balance
of the news was about evenly divided be-
tween the bulls and the bears. Partridge
was a conspicuous seller of wheat during
the morning, whilst much of the buying
was said to be for foreign account. May
wheat opened from 547Ac to 54ssc, advanced
to 55Ac, closing at 55isG55Ac, &c under
Saturday. Cash wheat was nominally /
cent lower than Saturday.
Corn-TO do nothing, and to do IL well
was the most difficult tax that corn trad
ers had upon their abilities to-day. Wheat
being lower gave popularity to the selling
as against the buying side, prices, how
ever, showing an Improvement at the close
over the opening and early quotations.
May corn opened at 46hc, sold between
acc and 46izn465sc, closing at the outside.
a shade under Saturday. Trading in cash
corn was mostly at unchanged prices
Oats-The rains begot selling of oats
and, consequently, lower prices. There was
no influential business, but the aggregate
of the transactions made a fair DAYS
trade. Shorts" were less disturbed than
on the closing days of last week, although
the knowledge of small stocks was an in.
fuence for steadiness at the decline. Nav
oats closed Al3sc under Saturday Cash
oats were a shade easier
Provisions-The tone Of product was a
little irregular, numerous orders on both
the buying and selling sides arriving. They
were principally for the purpose Of clear
ing up old business. in view of the holt
day tomorrow. Grain, very likely threw
some thing of weakness Indirectly into
the market Hogs did not change ma ~
rally, so that very little, If any, infu-
ence came from that direction. The close
was 10c lower than Saturday for Nav pork
TIC lower for May lard and 21sc lower for
May ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
