PRODUCE.

Chicago, March 19.-May wheat
broadened into an active market to-
day An insistent demand from shorts
sent the price up to $1.07 during the
early part of the session, but heavy
sales by Letter broke the price badly
toward the close Final prices showed
a decline of "a in May and q q sc
in July. Favorable weather and ex
pectations of heavy receipts Monday
were factors in the decline in both OPP
lions. Corn and oats both broke with
the late slump in wheat, corn closing
unchanged and oats about 1sc lower.
Provisions were heavy and closed so
TIC lower.
The opening in wheat was irregular.
Traders in July rather looked with
favor on the selling side, as the cold
wave which was expected to follow the
rains did not materialize, and there
was apparently no prospect of any
serious drop in temperature. Cables
failed to respond the strength shown
here yesterday. This caused some liz
uidation in July at the outset opening
prices S5B@S6c, showing nc decline.
There the market halted higher. May
was strong from the start. Shorts
were active bidders for this delivery,
which opened &c higher at S1.06, and
heavy buying soon sent prices up to
$1.06%. The demand for May and the
advance in that future soon brought
July shorts into the pit to protect
themselves, heavy buyers of yesterday
coming into the market again, and
the demand became general. The re-
suit was a gradual advance to 86hc.
Realizing then set in and a reaction
to $3.50 took place, May at the same
time dropping to S1.06ss The drop
ping off in the northwest receipts was
a helping influence. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 312 cars against 375
last week and 412 year ago Chicago
receipts were 121 cars, fifty of contract
grade The days clearances of wheat
and flour from Atlantic ports were
heavy, amounting to 100000 bushels,
but this was in a measure offset by the
heavy primary receipts, 1861 BUSH
els. Continental markets We're steady
The reaction in both options was of
short duration. The demand soon be-
came heavy again, especially in May,
the price of which was sent up to
SLOT. July advanced to S6%. The
advance was well maintained up TO
IL o'clock, when the market began
gradually to give way. Letters bro
kers had meantime been selling heav-
lily of May at top figures, and as shorts
became filled up, the demand from this
source decreased. Liquidation, how
ever, did not become general until
heavy estimated receipts for Monday
were posted. This brought in flood
of realizing orders and prices late in
the session broke very sharply. Lett
er kept up his selling of May to the
last. and probably disposed of over
1000, 0G0 bushels. In the last few min
utes early buyers became sellers and
with this added weight OF liquidation
the market became very weak, though
July did not suffer so much as May.
Closing prices for the latter option
was S103, July closing at S5A @S5ssc
Up to the last half hour OF the ses-
sion, corn was slow but steady at a
slight advance. Enormous clearances

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE market

Manufacturers have withdrawn from the
market to a great extent and dealers find
a very dull demand in progress. This has
a tendency 10 cause weaker prices, and
with outside conditions in such a strong
position holders are not attempting TO
force business. The London auction sales
of wool commenced March Is. and under
continental demand fine merinos and
crossbreds advanced 12d over close of

note firm prices held for new woods.
Prices at seaboard are nominal and held
