Chicago March IA local plunger,
who, by his indiscretion, acquainted the
local crowd with his position on the mar
ket and the extent of his short line,
undertook to cover during the closing
hour of to-day's session Of the wheat
market, and found that there was union
of opposing interests that Obliged him
to pay materially higher prices. The
bulge came simultaneously with cables
quoting Berlin higher on account OF bad
crop reports from Russia and advices to
the effect that Russians were asking
the same time stated that the demand
from the continent for cargo lots was
good. Until the fury mentioned took
place, there was but an ordinary charac-
ter TO the business: New York starting
the buying when the market was weak
est. The Cincinnati Price Current gave
bullish review of the situation, which the
arrival on time of the cold wave contrib
uted to a firm opening, after which
slack demand with an excess OF offerings
over the inquiry, detracted from the
strength. allowing prices to sink from
their early position. Antwerp sent
strong cable quoting an advance equ1va-
lent to about &c per bushel. Liverpool
and Paris were disappointing, however,
but they were rejected for the other more
encoura ging news. May wheat opened
from 56ikc to 56lA 6563sc, sold between SEC
and 57ssc, CLOSING at 57Ac-iIhc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
for car lots, but there was considerable
work for eastern shipment. Kansas
City and Toledo also advised of sales Of
large lots for movement eastward.
Corn dropped into the place it usually
occupies Of follower OF wheat. The
government report has come TO be regard
ed as rather bearish than otherwise, and
there is an absence OF outside trade which
marks the dwndling away OF interest by
the country. The cold wave and the firm
opening of wheat tended to frmness in
corn at the start after which an easier
feeling was obtained; but the furry In
the more important grain toward the close
induced scalpers and local traders TO buy,
values rising as a consequence. May corn
opened at 455kGt46c, sold between 457sc and
46ssc, closing at outside 5z0t5sc higher than
yesterday Without reference TO the fut-
ures cash prices ruled steady.
Oats-There was only the to-be-looked-
for change in oats, which came by reason
of the fluctuations Of wheat and corn.
Trading was desultory, and the move
ment perfunctory. The close was firm at
an advance of &c over yesterday for May
Cash oats were quiet and steady
Provisions-Higherp prices for hogs prov
ed an incentive to higher prices for prod
sentiment that ruled was clearly defined
and was demonstrated by the lack of Of
ferings and the aptitude with which the
small quantities on sale were taken
