Chicago, H.. March 26.-Wheat prices
got a lift towards the close to-day the
advance which then occurred being due
to a strong market at St. Louis. From the
opening until about noon weakness and
dullness went hand in hand. Fine spring
weather was probably the most potent
among the weakening influences and af-
forded short sellers with an argument COM
prehensive in itself. After u o'clock a
change came over the market, st. Louis
advancing over a cent on bullish report
by the Modern Miller and carrying Chica-
60 upward with IT. May wheat opened
from 721s to 72Ac. sold between 72h and
T3ikc, closing al 727sc-isdMc higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat was irregular, clos
ing steady.
The tone of the corn market was rather
weak, although there was some display of
courage by holders. May corn opened at
24izc, sold at 245s and 2i2s024lsc, closing at
24lhc-a shade under yesterday. Cash
corn was quiet and steady.
There was neither strength or activity
in oats early. The main influence In de-
filming the tone was the action of the lead
ing markets. The business consisted prin-
cipally of local transactions with profess
SIGNALS generally, working in the direction
OF forcing a decline. Prices frmed with
those Of wheat later in the session. May
oats closed unchanged from yesterday.
Cash oats were quotably easy in feeling,
but unchanged IN price.
Provsions-Offerings of product were
quite liberal at the opening to-day, enough
TO cause recessions In prices all round.
The hog market was steady, the fact that
It conveyed no particular strength having
an adverse effect. May pork closed 7IsGD
10 cents lower; May lard 2lkc lower May
ribs &c lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
