dinners and halls and the number OF these
lis sufficiently large TO save society mat
tiers generally from falling into an innocG-
Gus desnefude. People must be occupied
at something. however. The ladies just
now are either reading or discussing Tril-
b. and everybody Is locking for the Triiby
craze TO strike tsia city In the way OF

the Laird are hourly looked for. and Trfi-

the craze for reading the hook still exists

Chicago, March S.-Wheat was raised
from the low price established at the
close yesterday right at the opening to-
day, the incentive coming from an adj
vance of I'D at Liverpool. but the early
strength was not much more than held
during the subsequent action. The mi
tial t1rmness gave forth promise of bet
ter things, but as there was nothing fresh
in the news emitting prices to further
enhancement, the trade degenerated into
mere scalping deal, with prices hedged
in between puts and calls. Partridge was
reputed to have sold rather literally that
gentleman not appearing to have altered
his views as to the position of the cereal.
The Liverpool corn trade news was
quoted as authority for the statement that
225 vessels were loading at Argentine
ports, the average cargo of each being
$4,000 bushels of wheat. In view of this
Information, buyers were inclined to hold
off to the detriment of prices. May wheat
opened at 54Ac, sold between $3.50 and
54$sc, closing at 541sc-l4c higher than yes
terday. Cash wheat was steady.

in this market this morning, the scarcity
of offerings making the shorts a little more
importunate about buying, prices improv-
ing through this condition of affairs. May
corn opened from 45c to 45kc, advanced to
4512c, receded and closed at 454c-lbc
higher than yesterday. The cash market
was firm at about yesterdays figures.
Oats-Taking strength from corn, oats
improved fractionally in price but not in
activity. The same slow movement was
beginning until the end Of the session.

Cash oats were easy to &c per bushel

for pork. The close was with a gain of
loo for May pork, 212c for May lard and
212c for May ribs.
