CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. April 4.--For a half holiday,
with no English or French markets to
lend their influence, wheat did very well
to-day, both as to business and price.
There was boom on for awhile, the only
explanation OF which was found I'm a
fresh rumor that Ohio would show a
cndition of only 81 per cent. In the officials
reports. This same rumor was afioat on
Thursday, causing strength at that time,
although the authority for the statement
could not be found. The closing were
the best prices OF the day. the tone being
remarkably strong: May wheat opened
at So 5-Sc.. advanced to Ga 5-sG64Ac.. where
II closed-l 1-Sc. higher than Thursday.
May wheat was firm, and 1c. higher.
Corn-The strength of wheat was OF
avail TO corn, i'm that II caused slight
any particular interest and no enthusiasm
whatever. The operations were exclu-
sively local. and were confined TO a very
small proportion OF traders. Holders or
calls" were enabled to recover their
Investment and probably little besides.
but their margin OF profit was small. May
corn opened at % 5-Sc.. sold between Zy12p
% SIS and 29a.c-1-S63-Sc. under yesterday.
Cash corn was firm and 1-Sd1-4c. higher.
Oats were active and firm, In sympathy
with wheat. The demand was scattered;
commisslon-houses being well supplied
with orders Cash oats were nrm ana
unchanged. T.,
Provisions--The strength which ruled IN
grain did not reach the product market,
prices ruling easy and In come cases
