CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 15.-There was a
cent range In wheat priees so-uay, ~ i Hul
nortant. The outside still holds aloof, and
fluctuations depend on the activity Win
which local professionals trade. There
were reports of frost IN Calitornia IN CIR
culatlon this morning, and although II
was claimed that no damage had been
wrought. still there was strength Impaired
to prices by the information. The weekly
weather bulletins OF other states were very
encouraging. and on them decline was
inaugurated later In the session, and to-
ward the close there was decided strength.
May wheat opened at from 70 Ia 10 % l-oc,,

at 65 1-2c-i-2n5-Sc higher than yesterday.

and in the usual course OF events. pro-
duct likewise receded. At the opening
prices were quiet and weak. but the mar
