CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET
CHICAGO, April There was a we'll
founded complaint of the dulnass OF
wneat trading to-day. There was no out
side business OF any consequence, and
the dealings for local account did not
approach the proportions OF ordinary &C
tiyity. Nevertheless, the market was
unquestonably strong all day. AT the
opening some gossip OF dry weather In
portions of Kansas was put I'm circulation
but IL was generally conceded that con-
diticns I'm that State were such that a
longer drought would have 10 prevail be-
fore there could be any decided menace
to the crop.
May wheat opened at from 50 5-S to
6g2.c., sold between 63 3-s and 81 i-Sc., and
closed at 632,M63 7-Sc-J-Sc. higher tlan
yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and l3c
per bushel higher.
The corn market improved in price
through the strength communicated ty
wheat, but the amount of busin ,ss trans
acted was extremely light, and the ac,
ton slow I'm the extreme. Scalpers ana
traders I'm privileges kept alive sem
blance OF activity. but the interest other
wise displayed was decidedly small. No.
body expected trade to amount TO any
thing. consequently there was no disap-
May corn opened at 2sisc., and advanced
to 29 5-sn232.c. where II eclosed--i-sc.
higher than yesterday. Cash corn was

oats had n quiet session, with prices
ruling steady to firm throughout. The
strength naturally came from wheat
there being nothing new In the situation
cline. Cash oats were steady TO l-ic
higher.
Provisions recovered the loss OF yester-
day shorts being notably active as
buyers, whilst the sangulne bulls. who
always maintain their faith In better
things, were assiduous in helping alone
the advance. The hog market furnished

wheat was partly responsible for the
Improvement.
