Chicago, April s.-To-day's wheat mar
ket proved disastrous to the bulls, al
though it held out some hope early in the
session. The market opened higher, but
prices yielded to free selling later, the
rains which have prevailed over the win
ter wheat section during the past two
days imbuing the beaiishly inclined with
confidence. May wheat opened from 6634 c
TO 66ssc, sold between 665sc and 651za655Ac,
closing at 659s@e6Ac-ls under yester-
day. Cash wheat was steady, closing easy.
Corn did nothing to entitle II to dis
tinction, the range of the entire session
being extremely small, while the fiuctua-
lions were slow and listless. There was
no news of Importance, and the tone was
merely reflection of that of wheat, the
early action exhibiting firmness and the
latter weakness Privilege holders were
not afforded remarkable opportunity for
realizing on their investments. May corn
opened at 301sc, sold between Doc and 301s0
30Ac, closing at 30c-1sc under yesterday.
ly better prices being obtained for through
billed.
Oats were rather quiet, values NOV
ing a little higher early and later show
ing a declining tendency. The rains re-
ported throughout the country were re-
garded as opportune and as seeding Is
now going forward under conditions the
effect is to produce an easier tone to the
market. Wheat Influenced oats to a con-
siderable extent. May oats closed a shade
under yesterday. Cash oats were quota
bly, steady and unchanged.
Provisions-The provision market was
referred to as a branch Of the wheat
market from the fact that it faithfully
followed the changes of that grain. The
hog market was higher, which accordine-
ly gave material assistance to the pro-
duct early, but later IL was lost sight or
around. May pork closed nc under yes-
terday, May lard 2leQ5c and May ribs a
shade lower
Leading futures ranged as follows:
