Chicago. April 29.-The opening
strength in wheat was due to the con
tinued heavy rains in the northwest
and under this influence July opened
at an advance Of about sc. Northwest
receipts showed a considerable falling
off and there were predictions of frost
in that section tonight. July opened at
645s664Ac. touched 643sc, and reacted
to 641sc, the market being active and
firm.
Early news was not quite as favor
able for the short sellers of wheat as
was the market of the previous day.
The price of July wheat at the opening
showed the immediate of that upon the
traders. 1t closed yesterday at $3.50
637sc and opened this morning with
buyers at 64c and practically no sellers
below 641kc and 64hc, at which latter
price the first transactions took place.
May when heard from was still at a
discount of &c under July. The news
which caused the hrmer tone thus in
dicated, was the strength which early
cables from Liverpool displayed, not
withstanding the previous days weak
ness here and the continuance of the
wet weather in the northwest and the
consequent further pOStpOnement OF
seeding in the Red river valley. Dis
patches from the northwest confirmed
the reports of heavy rain still falling
and repeated former statements Of the
effect that practically no seeding had
been done except on the high ridges.
The price was firmly maintained at or
above 64c durin gthe forenoon. the
range for that time being from 64c to
64as 0641ac, the frmness of the opening
gathering more force as the session
progressed.
Corn opened at a slight advance on
the unfavorable weather reports and
in sympathy with wheat. Quotations
for May were at 29@2s1sc. and held at
about that figure.
Oats were rather quiet as usual but
strong, July opening sc higher at 1880
1870 and steadying at 1870
Provisions opened firm in spite of the
large receipts, though prices were ir-
regular. Offerings were limited and
the market held well. July pork quot
ed 23sc lower at ss.3216; July lard 255c
higher at s4.827kQ485; May ribs 24zc
