Chicago. May 1.-The amount of wheat
to be delivered out to-day had been look
ed fOrwerd with some anxiety. II was eN
pected That a large amount was to be so
placed that the disposition would Indicate
the accuracy of the shipping demand that
he's been reported to exist. There was
large quantity sent around but from all
accounts, it found its way back into the
elevators. 1t went into strong hands and
much of to-days firmness was ascribed
to that fact The session with some
some excitement. too much short sell
ing having taken place early and rush
being made to cover July wheat opened
from b39sC to b3esC, SOlQ between h5itC anu
65c; closing at 647sM65c-1&c higher than
yesterday Cash wheat was 1eds4c per
bushel higher. May corn was wanted by
the eleva tor concerns to-day, the buying
by that class of people being continuous
and IN some cases vigorous. There was
also the usual quota of scalping transac-
tions and local operations, based on the
feeling Of wheat
Corn-Altogether there was but little III
the way of weakness to the trade and the
close was decidedly strong with an impor-
tant adv ance over yesterday. July corn
opened at H7sc, advanced to 49AQl9Bc,
closing at 4924c-1Ad17sc higher than yes
terday. Cash corn was in good demand
and strong, car lots bringing a full cent
over yesterday.
Oats suffered a decline at the opening
owing to the general desire to sell, with
a lack of demand. It was quite plain that
there was still some liquidation going on
in May. Later, the strength Of wheat ana
corn overcame the weakness and good
rally resulted. July oats closed &c higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were early but
firm, and &c higher later.
Provisions-The tail end of the May IL
quidation III product took place to-day
There was a large excess of hogs over
the estimate at the yards, and prices there
were weak and lower to the natural dis
advantage of provisions. Before the ses-
sion was over the strength of wheat work
ed a change in the feeling, recovery
coming about through sympathy with that
grain The close was 212c higher than
yesterday for July pork, with July lara
and ribs unchanged.
Leading futures ranged as tOlloWs;
Opening Highest. Lowest Closing.
