CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
| CHICAGO. April THE wheat market
was i'm a state of panic and demorallZa-
! ton from the opening tap of the bell
| until the final transactions OF the session
were made Liquidation broad and com
prehensive took place. II was started by
| Bradstreets report, issued yesterday
| able supply of 2652,000 bushels. Liverpool
and other European markets were weak
| and lower for tho same reason. Every
| body had wheat TO sell, and many old
| linz ..f nerf lrf ~ a
on the market The fine growing wea-
ther and constantly improving crop re-
! ports added vigor TO the selling move
ment. May wheat opened at from 6sls
| to CSC, declined to So 3-8c., and closed at
| 65 3-Sc.-5-Sc under Monday. Cash wheat
was weak and 3i2c. lower, and there was
| a reduction In the premium on No. red.
! Corn-The slump in wheat was instru-
mental in depressing the tone OF corn,
| and of causing a material decline in price.
| Trade was. however. too light to really
| bring about any important depreciation.
! May corn opened at "a l-Sc., sod between
| 24i4 and q l-SnZ34c., and closed at the
! inside-l01-Sc. under Monday. Cash corn
nally 1c. lower.
The tendency to decline seen in the
other grain markets appeared likewise In
| oats. through a spirit OF emulation. Bust
| ness was fairly active. May oats closed
| &4W7-Sc. under Monday. Cash oats were
| weak and l2n4c. per buShel lower.
| Provisions-Lower quotations were eS-
| tablished in product early in the day. a
| larger run of hogs than estimated was
| the most plausible reason for the weak
ness. although the demoraliZed condition
| of wheat produced some effect. At the
close, May pork was l2lec. lower, May lard
Sc lower. and May ribs l0c. lower.
| Hides were firm; natives, light. l-sc.
