Chicago, April 24.-Fine weather was the
consideration in wheat throughout the
morning session and until within an hour
Of the close of to-day's session, when a
tired sentiment was averted by reports
that chinch bugs were working havoc
with the growing plant in Indiana and te
some extent in Kansas. May prices ruled
weak and lower from the start until very
near the end of trading hours. A recovery
then taking place, the close presented an
Improvement over that of yesterday. July
wheat opened from 645s @6434c to 64124645sc,
sold between 641s46514c, closing at 65lsc
bd-3sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat
was steady, closing firm and nominally
higher with the futures.
Corn displayed frmness early, thereby
contrasting with wheat, but when the lead
ing market grew more pronouncedly weak,
the market lost its steady tone. The re-
Vival of wheat led to buying of corn in the
last hour and a full recovery resulted.
Offerings were not heavy and shorts ex-
hibited more or less anxiety to cover. July
corn opened at 305sc, advanced to sic, clos
ing at S0s4Q301sc. 5sda4c higher than yes
terday. Cash corn was steady, but closed
nominally hrmer after everything was dis
posed of.
Oats reflected the temper of wheat, de-
Ginning and advancing with that grain.
There was notable lack of interest, prices
receding under very little trading and re-
covering in the same manner. July oats
closed shade over yesterday. Cash oats
sold at decline of &c, but closed nomi-
nally firm
Observation-Disclosures improvement took
place in hog prices to-day, a good demand
being reported at the yards This was the
main item of news in the product market,
which also exhibited a better tone in re-
sponse. The firmness continued during
most of the session, the rally in wheat ex-
tending help There was a temporary re-
action during the morning, but it was of
short duration. At the close July pork
and lard were each sc higher than yester-
day, and May ribs 21ac higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
