feet, and said that it meant simply the
repeal Of. bounty granted to miners
since 1870. The motion to strike out the

CH1CAGO-Wheat. though dull, was
firm all day through to-day's session,
and showed %91sc advance at the close.
Firmness at Liverpool. Il largo visible
decrease and growing disbelief In a
large Argentine exportRbie surplus al
contributed TO the strength. Corn was
weak and closed a shade lower. Oats
showed slight closing advance and
provisions left OFF unchanged to &c
higher.
Influential news OF any kind was
scarce ut the opening In wheat. The
unexpected firmness developed ut LIv-
erpoo' was the most prominent feature.
The course Of that marke, attracted a
great dea, OF attention and was directly
the cause OF the opening ndvaIice here
and a fruitful source OF comfort to the
bulls throughout the session, Opening
prices for May ranged from 00,tc to
9oMc, against Saturdays tinal price OF
9OEc. A little realizing by scaipe:s
caused momcntary drop 10 90fsG90Sc C,
which proved the low point OF the day.
Then moderate but steady buying car
ried the price slowly upward and about
noon 9lMc was bid. Liverpool showed
from II to Id advance ut the opening
here. although It had started at n slight
decline, and that advance was IN the
main held TO the close. A New York
house reported bids received from Man
helm. Germany, and Antwerp, Belgium,
Tor wheat at prices &c above what they
were willing TO pay a few days ago.
Argentine wheat Is usually shipped very
l!Derally to those countries and II was
inferred that offers from the South
