WHEAT TURNED FIRM
DELAYED SPRING SEEDING CAUSED
3-sC ADVANCE AT CHICAGO.
Strength Felt I'm Other Markets. Corn.
Oats and Provisions Closing mt
Higher Figures.

CHICAGO, April 24-The DELAYED seeding
OF spring wheat in the Northwest and re-
ports of chinch bugs having made their ap-
pearance in the Kansas wheat fields. made
a weak wheat market strong to-day. May
closed at 633sc, or Sc over yesterdays clos
ing price and sc over the opening price.
Corn and oats gained a trife and provisions
made slight advance.
There was not great deal doing in whea I
during the first hour, but later in the dav
the market livened UP and fair business
was transacted Fluctuations were compara-
lively wide at 11kc. The opening showed a
trifie loss and prices gradually sagged back
7sc and advanced 1ssc toward the close.
There was considerable increase in the Nav
liquidation, several of the larger commits
sion houses being pronounced sellers of Nav
and prominent local trader. as well as the
professional floor operators sold quite freely
of July and in absence OF any particular
outside support prices declined. The report
of the Prairie Farmer was construed as
bearish and had tendency TO increase spec
ulative offerings. The rally late in the ses-
sion was due largely to good buying, in
fiuenced by the reports of chinch bugs doing
damage to wheat in Western Kansas. Evi-
IDENTIFY operators had rather oversold the
market early, and when they wanted to COW
er they did not find much wheat on sale.
The strong closing cables added to the
strength here.
The corn market was firm and a fair
amount of trading was done. but up to the
last hour the business was chiefly in the
way of transferring trades from one month
TO another. In the last hour there was some
heavy buying, said to be covering a line of
shorts for Patten. July corn opened un-
changed at SO9sc. sold as high as Bic and
closed at 30a4 q807sc. May opened unchanged
at 29ssc, sold to 29lsc, reacted to 297sc and
closed at 29%c.
The feature in oats was the liberal cover
ing by May shorts. one line of over 500, ,0OO
bushels being bought. The tone early was
easier, but when wheat advanced firmer
feeling developed and prices advanced A6Hc,
the close being steady at about the top, with
net gain of &c.
Provisions ruled higher. July pork, which
closed yesterday at S. 72lz, closed at sS.T1R,
after dip 1t took early in the day to
sS.67l5. July lard opened.up O2ikc over yes
terday's latest trading price at sc. did not
sell below that nor over 5.413c and closed
at 5.021e. The improvement for the day in
July ribs was .0219c. English houses were
the best buyers of lard and they took also
fair quantities of pork and ribs
