Chicago. April 23.-After see-sawing a
little during the first hours trading To-
day wheat developed much nrmhess ana
recovered a portion of the loss II sls-
tanned earlier in the week. The better
feeling was quite plainly due to the re-
moVal of the selling pressure from the
May option! Although many cling 70 me

delivery has not by any means been hq1i-
dated. it is the opinion OF eonservatlye
people that most OF the holaets nave
either sold out and pOcketed their losses
or profits or have gone over into the July
option. The fact was patent to-day, now
ever that there was less disposition 10
sell and more to buy. July wheat opened
from 64isc to Csc, sold between tSisc ana
eic and 647sc.. closing at 64Ac-120l9sc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat was ilrm ana
lac higher.
Corn aroused no interest and attract
ed no attention. 1t was steady, but at the
same time displayed due susceptibility
to the weakness or strength of wheat.
The Cincinnati Price Current in its SUM
mary. made reference 10 very promising
outlook for the next crop OF TINS grain.
Nav corn opened at 29iac, sold between
2Ss4c and 29$s029lac, closing at Z93sc-lsc
higher than yesterday cash corn was
steady
oats were dull and steady. According
to the Cincinnati Price Current. the eros
poets of the next crop of oats are en-
couraging. The intelligence bad little, If
any effect on the market. The improve
ment in wheat served to sustain prices of
oats. May oats closed unchanged from
yesterday. Cash oats were generally
steady
Provisions-Not a great amount Of bust
ness was transacted in product, but the
feeling was firm. The hog market paused
in its declining course, and provisions CO.
| incided with 1t by remaining steady Some
of the strength exhibited was derived
from wheat At the close May pork and
May ribs were each sc higher and May
lard a shade higher.
