CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade


CHICAGO. May 13.-Wheat opened with
some disposition in the crowd to buy at a
slight advance over yesterdays close, al
though no reason for the strength was ap-
parent, unless it was the influence of last
nights strong curb. This reason, although
shadowy, was sufficient to start July at
" advance and hoist it up to 73ss@73%.
Then the slump which was inevitable in
view of the early news, occurred, the mar
ket sliding off by easy stages to Is cents,
which marked the ebb of the tide for the
day. The bearish news consisted of Nd
opening decline at Liverpool and another
1Ad decline later on. California kilograms
said that even If all the late sown wheat
was destroyed, the area left was practi-
caly as large as the harvested acreage of
last year. Much needed rain was also re-
ported from various parts of the state.
Northwest receipts were liberal, the num-
Der Of cars received at Minneapolis and
Duluth being S12, against 1858 week ago
and 1853 last year. But the rest of the news
and statistics were bullish, and was in
strumental in changing the bearish feel
ing to a. bullish one. Liverpool recovered
Nd of the decline before that market
closed, and other continental markets
showed good advances. New York wired
that the engagements there and at out
ports yesterday aggregated 500, 900 bushels,
and there had been rather free accept
ances today on last nights cable orders.
Boston and Baltimore also cleared freely,
and 10000 bushels were reported taken here
for export. Predictions of frost for to-
night Quickened the demand considerably.
The market showed decided strength dur
ing the last hour, and as high as 74% was
paid for July on o reported sale of 35 boat
loads for export at New York, and diff
Guilty there to get wheat for export on Nav
contracts. The closing price was 741h
asked. Corn was fairly active. The ad-
vance in wheat, small receipts and pre-
dictions of frost tonight in several west
ern states all had their effect in producing
the firmness which characterized the mar
ket throughout. May was particularly
strong. Oats in the working Of big line for
shipment was the main feature Trading
was fairly active. but principally of q
scalping nature. Outside of some buying
by packers, trade in provisions was not
very active. The market as a rule was
firm with wheat, although exhibiting some
opening weakness to a like condition at the
yards.
