CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, April 20-Wheat fell cents
a bushel with a dull thud at the opening
and lay squirming where 1t dropped for
matter of fifteen minutes. May closed yes
terday at 20 and was offered for sale at the
opening at from 13A down to TIA. After
fiuctuating for short time between 70 and
1895. it tried-its hand at little climb, but
it was SO weak 1t soon lost its grip and
came sliding down again. The quotations
for English consols We're such a small
fraction lower that 1t was at once per-
ceived no fear of the Graeco-Turkish war
spreading so as to- include the great powers
of Europe was entertained in the United
were just as little affected as the English.
The supposed prospect of a general Eu-
ropean war having been the whole thing
yesterday. the contrary OF that expecta-
ton was the controlling influence Today.
The market worked gradually in the d.
recton of still lower prices, although some
of the news of the day was rather bullish.
Chicago received carloads and shipped
l30. 525 bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth
got only 290 cars, compared with 504 week
ago and 800 the corresponding day Of last
year. Wheat and flour clearances from
the Atlantic seaboard amounted TO $4,000
bushels. Bradstreet's reported the worlds
visible as having been reduced 2,94S, 900
bushels last week. Liverpool closed at an
advance of only I'd from Thursdays close.
What had become the general feeling for
awhile about the price going back TO the
70 cent mark, again changed toward the
close, when it became known that a good
cdSn trdue was uOnS mere tOudy ou tHt re-
action. A Minneapolis miller advised
sale of 1000 barrels of flour on acceptance
of a cabled offer to Amsterdam, Holland.
and local flour broker reported English
acceptances of 1000 sacks at Is higher than
they were willing to pay before the Easter
holidays. After May had sold as low as
74ss and July 74A. they rose under the in
fuence of the good local milling demand
for wheat to the highest prices of the
day May reached 741s and July 1875. Corn
ruled firm. The demand for shorts was the
chief cause of the advance in this arti-
Gle. Oats opened weak under liberal SELL
ing and through sympathy with wheat and
quite sharp decline was recorded. Spec
ulative trade In provisions was light and of
