CHICAGO MARKETS..

CHICAGO, ILL, May 6.-Interesting features
either in the way of news business were de-
cdedly few in the wheat market to-day. The
only information aside from the usual statistical
figures and cables was that contained in the
Orange-Judd Farmer, which made its appearance
about noon. IT made the condition OF winter
wheat SS.4 against 81 month ago. Private dis
patches from winter wheat points equally
satisfactory and encouraging In the Northwest
show wers still interfere with seeding, causing some
apprehension. The foreign demand continues
light and clearances small. The market
opened and remained firm during the morning
the retarded spring wheat seeding being the main
influence. The public announcement of the
orange-Judd Farmer report brought abont tenn
porary ecline later Liverpool cables were
steady. Receipts were moderate, Chicago having
but three cars. The Northwest had 23S cars
against 3O7 last Wednesday and PAT a wear ago
Local Withdrawals from store l36 200 BUSH
els, and Atlantic seaboard clearances OF wheat

toward the end OF the session it stated that the
Ohio state report gave material reduction in con-
dition. This caused prices TO rally from a weak
position taken when the Orange-Judd Farmer re-
port was announced. Closing Paris cables were
unchanged for flour and unchanged TO 10 centime es
and Antwerp unchanged July wheat opened
