Chicago. April 15.-There was a cent
range TO wheat prices to-day, but the vol
ume of trade was not large or important.
The outside still holds aloof and fiuctua-
lions depend on the activity with whlch
scalpers and local professionals trade.
There were reports of frost in California
in circulation this morning and although
it was claimed that no DANCE had been
wrought still there was strength impart-
ed to prices by the information. The
weekly weather bulletins by other states
We're very encouraging and on them de-
cline was inauguas ted. Later in the session
and towards the close there was decided
strength. Partridge was said to be very
! i'll and his death was momentar1ly eX-
pected, The crcwd supposed mat there
was still considerable wheat short for his
account and with that opinion used great
exertion in causing an advance 1t was
denied that the big sealper had any in
| terest in the market but the pit was SO
! skeptical, and took the denial in Mega
tive sense. May wheat opened from 65A
| to 651sc sold between 64ss and 655sc, clos
| ing at 6512c-15@ssc higher than yesterday
| Cash wheat was quiet and steady.
Corn-The dullness of corn was still the
notable feature of that market Commits
| sion men had little to do and the scalpers
| and nit traders found difficulty in ac-
| comprising much in their particular
! line Moderate fluctuations took place,
of course but they were inStigated by the
| action Of wheat and not by anything of a
| direct nature. Only small lots at .nfre-
! quent intervals were traded in. May
! corn opened at 3Ok, sold between 30Q3Olf
| d9OA, closing at S01sG3OAc-a shade over
! yesterday. Cash corn was steady at I'M
! changed prices
oats were in an inanimate condition
| throughout the greater part of the ses-
| sion Occasionally on account of adj
vance or decline in wheat the traders were
| aroused from stuDor Of dizziness and at
tempted to transact some business, but
| the efforts were generally inenectual. May
| oats closed unchanged from yesterday.
Cash oats were quiet.
| ProVisions-Iarger receipts of hogs
| than expected at the yards had the natur-
| al effect Of causing a decline in prices al
| that place and in the due course Of events
| product likewise receded At the open
| ing prices were quiet and weak, but the
! market was accorded some support later
| the consequence being that a recovery
| took place. At the close, May pork was
PIC under yesterday, May lard unchanged
and May ribs 21zc higher. Domestic mar
kets were steady and foreign firm.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest Closing.
