CHICAGO. April MAY wheat closed
| to-day at loss of &c and July at gain
OF &c. May sold at one time below 1Oc for
| the first time in months. but the market
| recovered. Liquidation caused the early
| decline, and a bad Missouri crop report the
SUBSEQUENT suns recovery Corn and oats We're 4e
ilrm, and advanced about. 1sc each. Pro-
visions show very little price changes.
In wheat the situation at the start was
fully as favorable for the bears as was the
case yesterday, and in consequence traders
played for a further break. The Liverpool
market opened from steady at unchanged
prices to l4d higher, and a little later Al
I'd decline. compared with yesterdays
close. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were again very heavy for the time of year,
the number OF cars reported being 5Si.
compared with 3l3 Thursday of last week
ana 400 the corresponding day OF the year
before.
The light receipts last year were die to
a very severe snow torn. Stocks of wheat
IN Liverpool warehouses We're $500 busn-
els smaller than March /, and of flour 5000
sacks larger. a BcerbOhm cablcgram

March l3 were 100000 bushels, against
Il $4,000 bushels at the same date the pre-
Vious year. The ope'ing price for May
varied in different parts of the pit from
'O2sc TO lOl2c against yesterdays closing
price of 7O7sc and touched I0Ac before 1t
made a plunge TO 697sc. At zoe there were
number of writing orders both TO buy
and sell and after hot fight, during
which it slipped and fell the other &c, the
buying side began gradually 10 get the
best OF II. Trade was only moderate, ana
while more long wheat was thrown over
on the decline, there was more wanted az
the same time TO cover shorts. The trade
dld not improve 10 any extent. however,
and when fresh move was made until about
30 o'clock when the Missouri State crop
report figures We're received ana that
showing as bad 4 condition or worse than
generally looked for the price jumped
quickly TO 1O5sd%c. The general condition
for that State was reported G4c. The acre
age sown in the fall was said 10 be the
same as last year. but IL was further stated
q per cent. of ii would be plowed up. Dur
ing the last hour the poor export and mill
ing demand caused a slight decline in
prices. May closing at 10l2c.
Corn followed wheat only when that
market turned upward. Although trading
was very dull prices held steady helped
by the small receipts. Wet weather and en-
Crmous seaboard clearauceS amounting
to-day 10 1.l360O0 bushels. Prices at no
time showed more than sc fucuation.

tween 2iAG1sc and 2jq25lsc. closing firm al

In oats. steady feeling. and an extreme
~ duh trade was reported. No feature of
interest developed. the strength displayed
| by the market being almost wholly due to
sympathy with corn. SeabOard ClearanCeS
were liberal, 100000. May opened unchang-
ed at INC. advanced 10 I13sdl2c. and was
bringing that price at the close. Provis-
ion prices were rather firm and business
showed some Improvement over Yesterday,
though sui far from active. The open
ing was strong on small hog receipts.
After a moderate reaction prices firmed ND
again on the strength of the coarse grain
markets, the markets closing steady with
but little change. May pork closed un-
changed at SS.57l2; May lard 2%c higher M
$40 and May rigs 212c higher at %.61l2D
