CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, April 2j-The wheat market
to-day was a scalping affair of an ideal
character. II was strong or weak as the
crowd heard Of dry weather or. OF show
ers. The range was traversed several
times. but the outside would not come
in. The Cincinnati Price Current. in It's
summary. laid particular stress on the
need OF rain by the growing wheat, ana
on this the market showed ru'e II little
strength at the start. Then came tele-
grams from Kansas with news OF rains.
on which informa ton the offerings were
enlarged and prices declined. Denials
that there had been any moisture te
speak OF in the Southwest gave encour-
agcment. and a rally succeeded. The re-
port OF large sales OF wheat at san
Francisco for the account OF the. Fab
estate again forced the market lower,
but higher Continental cables gave re-
steadiness existed at the close with
prices not much altered from the fina,
quotations OF yesterday: There was some
gossip OF cash wheat being worked for
export at this place, but the details were
very indefinite.
July wheat opened at from, 6li4 70
closed at size. a shade higher than yes
terday. Cash wheat. in the car-lot
branch, was steady.
Corn was favored by the action o.
wacat ana by the dry-weather stories
NJ The oprnine. prices presenting an i'm
provement over yesterdays closing fig
ures. Few. If any. outside orders APP
feared. Tn, local crowd did the best
they couli under ihc circumstances By
following wheaE.
July corn opened at 49,. sold between
4si, and fac. aud closed at the latter
a shade under yesterday. Cash corn was
firm and NC. per bushCl higher.
Oats.-An opinion pes allied in oats that
whilst no great alarm as t. the condition.
81 the growing crcp need be. felt. still
the condition was OpCn u Improvement
The Cincinnati Price Current stated that
the growth was retarJeG By lack o.
moisture. This FACT was the reason OF
the strength la that Grain to-day. There
WAS also a feeling OF sympathy with
wheat and corn. Cash OAKS were hni2c.
ripfer
Provisions. Temporary firmness in pro-
visions At thc opening was induced by
the higher hog market. Trade began to
drag during the first half hour. the mar
ket eventually becoming heavy, and
prices. particularly of lard, declining on
only moderate offerings. A prominent
commission man bid values up later but
without obtaining much property, the re-
covery receiving assistance from grain.
The feeling at the close was steady.
with July pork unchanged from yester-
day-July a shade higher and July rib.
q shade lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows
