/ Chicago. March 9.-The wheat market
acted In hesitatng manner to-day, most
of the session ruling slightly under Sat
urday's final figures, but on the end,
firming up and closing with a moderate
appreciation. May wheat opened from 652sc
to 65hGL65ssc, sold beteewn 647s and 65lbc,
I closing at 65Ssq65l2c-14c higher than Sat
urday. Cash wheat was quiet and steady.
The early inclination of corn was lower,
but at the close a complete recovery took
place. The prospect for heavier move
ment IS good and with that in view the
attitude
The wheat market was the controlling
influence in corn to-day and was re-
sponsible for the changes in tone. May
corn opened at 30lsc, sold between soc and
SOAc, closing at the outside-1sd1lc high
er than Saturday Cash corn was strong
at Saturdays figures.
Oats were extremely dull for quite a
while after the opening. There were no
transactions. The prevailing tone of the
market was steady and the changes in
prices were of no great moment Smypa-
thy with wheat was the governing influ-
ence. May oats closed a shade higher
than Saturday. Cash oats were easy.
Provisions-The amount of business
transacted in provision scarcely entities
that market to recognition. 1t was ex-
tremely dull and inactive, even the SEM
blance of trading being absent at times
The hog market was firmer and the fact
sustained
there was little enlivenment by a few
buying orders and prices firm up May
pork closed 15Q1712c higher, May lard Sc
higher, May ribs TIC higher Domestic
markets were quiet and steady.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
