CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. March 6.-Not quite az
much apprehension over the eastern pO-
litical question was felt in the wheat
market today az yesterday, the effect
being shown in the course and action OF
bic at the close. Other matters We're
however very little In consideration, and
the decline was due rather 70 the belief
in a peaceful solution Of the Cretan af
fair than TO any bearish Interpretation
of the statistical news, or TO the wheat
situation proper. The opening Of the
market was easy. squirt 70 Yesterday
close following, but, prices afterwards
settled down, and closed steady at the
decline mentioned above. May wheat
opened at from 76 3-Sd7G 1-Sc sold be-
tween 76 "a and 76c.. and closed at 100
10 1-Sc.-1-2q5-Sc. under yesterday. Cash
wheat was easy and 1-2c lower.
The corn market was generally steady,
the opening, however, being easy, partly
through the influence exerted by the quiet
tone of the cables, and partly in SYM
PATTY with wheat. May corn opened at
= 1-2c,. sold between that and "a S-ic.,
and closed at "a 5-Sc.-unchanged from
yesterday. Cash corn was in good de-
/ mand and firm. Prices were lac. higher
Oats-The trading In oats was light and
the tone about steady. The same con-
sderatiOns which tended to restrain bull
ish ardOr I'm wheat and corn were ef-
! fective in oats. Cash oats were firm and
| lie. higher
yards this morning was little more than
| half tho number expected. An advance
| OF 5Ql0c. in prices at thar place was the
result. and product received stimulus
! from that circumstances. Values edged
! or somewhat later on fair, all-'round
not extraordinarily 30. May pork closed
q shade higher, May lard unchanged, and
May ribs > l-2c. higher
