Chicago. March S.--Wheat developed
into a bull market late in the session
and closed &c higher for July. May
closed unchanged. Declines resulting
from dullness and bearish statistical
news were recovered by buying by
Letter and by houses which have been
heavy sellers recently Corn was firm
on the renewal of shipping business
and advanced 1s@Ac. Oats closed
lsc higher. Provisions were irregular,
pork losing 71ac of its previous value,
while lard and ribs showed no change
A we'll defined bullish sentiment was
apparent at the opening of wheat.
There was a drop in English conSols,
rejecting the apprehensionS of trou-
bic between England and Russia, and
Liverpool showed a substantial ad-
vance, reporting also that receipts or
wheat during the last three days had
been considerably below requirements
There seemingly was also less pros
pect of trouble between the United
States and Spain. Plenty of bearlsh
statistical news was at hand, but the
crowd was too bullish on the European
situation to pay any attention to this
at first. At a good demand from
shorts. July opened sc higher at 9O&c.
and advanced at once to 901sc. May
opened 1b0a4c higher at $1.05A q y.
The latter delivery, however, has al
most ceased to excite interest. At
9o75c for July offerings became heav-
Ter that being "call" price. There
was free selling against those privi-
leges and also a good deal of scat
tered realizing. This resulted in a
GRADUAL decline in July to 90asc. The
heavy receipts here and IN the north
west were influential in this decline.
MINNEAPOLIS and Duluth reported ar
rivals of $40 cars, against 3o5 last week
and 237 a year ago. Chicago receipts
were 133 cars, 70 of which We're OF
contract quality Besides the contract
wheat from regular sources, o. cars
and $4,000 bushels were transferred
from unlicensed houses. A long period
- du1lness followed with prices keep
mo within an exceptionally narrow
range About the only incident was
tne support given May by Letter brok-
ers at s1.o4, to which figure delivery
had declined. This buying prevented
INC market from getting below that
fioure Around the noon hour the
market began to show strength again.
