CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 28.-The question of peace or war overshadowed all else on change to-day. Assumptions of a possible solution of the Gu ban question resulted in sharp recoveries from early declines and with the exception of oats everything closed strong and higher. Wheat advanced 7sc for July and 1Ac for May Corn closed 2s@1kc higher; oats shade lower and provisions 2AG21ac higher.
 Wheat started with appearance of firm ness that gave way almost immediately to one of weakness. There & mild disposition shown at first to cover short lines account of the low temperatures prevailing in the Northwest. Heavy rains were reported over the winter wheat country and reports of other damage by the cold coupled with unexpected strength at Liverpool where some futures were 7sd higher. started the market, far as July at prices shade better than Saturdays clos ing. Smaller receipts in the Northwest also of- fered encouragement to the bulls. But the market turned weak at once. What little de- mand there was for the shorts had been quence materialized, the decline for a few moments was rapid, July selling off at S3k0 at6n S S by the large World wheat which amounted to 900 bushels Another source of weakness was the large addition to ceived from regular sources. 40 cars and 3s- 400 bushels No. l Northern were received from mixing houses, total of about 2o3 900 bush els in all After the decline to S2ssc in July there was a rariy to s2Ac under covering by sealpers, but prices sagged again in short time to s23sc and held around that until about Il o'clock. Then the market began to improve. The decrease in the visible supply, 1 $50. .000 bushels, much greater than looked for. But everything else was lost sight of in the consideration of the news relating to the crisis between the United States and Spain Reports that Spain had accepted the suggestions of this Government In regard to Cuba started a buying demand that increased in volume as the season and did not until the closing bell sounded. Shorts of every descrip- tions were driven to cover and investment buy ing, which has been almost totally lacking for some time, in evidence.
 an from the close July had d. vanced to S4Ac Realizing was quite heavy at this point and the price, reacted to sage. but rebounded again shortly. The close was strong at SIC bid. May was traded In very lir- tie. It opened 15c lower at s1 0319 but vanced at once to s1 04 and during the activ- ity in July sold up as high as s1 o54. IL closed at S1 05A
 Corn was fairly active and firm with the ex- cepton of short time after the opening, when decline took place in sympathy with wheat. May ranged from 29Ac to 2S10 2sssc and closed ss91kc higher at 2shc.
 Oats were heavily raided during the morn- ing by all classes of longs. Liquidation was general and prices broke sharply. The market
