Chicago Change.

Chicago, March D.Wheat, after finger ing around yesterdays close during the most Of today's session, became strong near the close and advanced almost a cent. The trade was dull and listless throughout. the local traders being the only people evfnc- ing any interest. The strength which de- veloped before the close was ascribed to sales of cash wheat to nllers in this mar ket, A prominent St. Louis operator was credited with covering May and selling July literally, thus widening the difference in price between those options. May wheat opened at 7414Q743se, sold between 7S7sc and 75lsc closing at 73c-7bc higher than yester- day Cash wheat was firm closing 3sc higher than yesterday.
 Firmness was again the predomlnatinS tone of corn. A good shipping demand from seaboard ports, higher Liverpool re, ports and moderate receipts, encouraged Speculation. The strength of wheat fur nished additional impulse to prices of corn. May corn opened at 241sc sold between 2?1sc and ssQ247sc, closing at 251sc-AQssc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was in good de- mand and i4c higher.
 Oats were practically lifelesS most or the time, but were saved from suffering in price by the strength derived from the other mar kets. May oats closed bGfAc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady and unchanged.
 Provisions-Th product market displayed strength today. There was a resumption of the advancing movement in the hog mar ket which set provisions in motion. The trade was large and extensive, outsiders buying and shorts covering freely. Part of the advance was lost on realizing sales ater: May pork closed 2ta05c higher. May lard and ribs each 2lsG5c higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:
