CHICAGO, March S.zWheat was firm
today and closed up 1c higher. The
strength OF the Liverpool market and
the impression conveyed by the cable
grams from Paris that the growing
French crop has been injured perhaps
seriously by frost were the chief causes
of the Improvement here. Corn was
quite lively, ending &c higher, and oats
gained &c. Provisions continued their
advance
The Liverpool market was I'd higher
at the opening, and that along with a
threatened cold wave following upon the
heels of the present springlike mild
ness. gave the market firm start. ] he
opening transactions in May were at
from 5416c TO sac. compared with $3.50
at the close yesterday. During the rec
mainder of the loren Don the price had
struggle TO maintain itself against
the effect of selling by spectators
VINO had bought yesterday at
53%c. reported weaker tone
at Paris had mere influence during the
forenoon than some other cablegrams
which were OF decidedly bullish char
trade in Toledo for shipment was in
similar manner minimized by the state
ment that 1t was worked because of
heavy cut in freights. Estimates of
only 100000 bu decrease in the visible,
and clearanceS OF only 100000 wheat
and -four from the scaboard We're causes
which, near noon, brought about weak
ness, and 535Sc became for 4 short time
frnh Intr r.sfn "a
ket receipts amounted TO 333, coo bu,
against 100000 bU last week. Closing
cables confirmed the advance at Liver
pool of from &c to &c per bu. Ant
werp was 1215 eentmes higher. Paris
shade easier for flour, unchanged for
wheat, and Berlin repeated yesterdays
quotations. May rallied Oh fair buying,
and closed at 541sc.
Corn was strong and higher, opening
&c over the price ii closed at yesterday,
and gaining another &c ill the tore
noon. The strength came from the i'm
provement in the demand for cash
corn. a cargo was received here yes
terday for direct shipment to Liverpool
al the opening of lake navigation, and
Liverpool cables came strong at ad-
vanceS of from ia to ga per GENITAL.
The demand here fer No. 3 and No. 3

~ with the price Of May. The opening
for May was dc. 1t rose to 4519c. re-
acted TO 4515c and closed at 45hlc sell
erS.
The same dull and nninteresting state
OF affairs continued 10 exist in the oats
market. Fluctuations were narrow and
followed corn almost entirely. May
sold from 29e to 291Gc, and closed at
29Bc bid. Receipts amounted to 146
cars, 105 or which graded contract.
Provisions were buoyant and active
during tine greater part Of the session,
the only weak spots being the result of
sales uy scalpers who had profits in
previous purchases. Talk Of a scarcity
of cattle, which has been current for
some time. was given as one OF the rea-
sons for the advance. Spectators for
long account, shorts and packers were
apparently all one side of the market
In the end May pork closed at $ll, the
highest price of the day, and 15c gain.
the highest it reached yesterday. Lard
and ribs advanced 21gc.
