CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Traders in wheat had an exciting time during the first hour to-day account of the violent advance at Liverpool but there was an evident indispostion on the part of many to allow excitement abroad to unhinge their own Judgment at home quite general impression prevailed among traders that foreigners were becoming hysterical over the supposition that Spain may interfere with the export movement of American products But another portion of the trade interprets the wild advance abroad to the sudden discov- cry by foreigners that there Is not enough wheat and flour available anywhere to keep them supplied until the next harvest. The req sonings of these two factions Is what caused the market to fiuctuate violently until the bears appeared to be on top. The advance of Sg10Mc for July and May at Liverpool and smaller rises at Paris and Antwerp were said to be the result of American covering but ex- porters sold several cargoes of northern at Sl A and private cablegrams said English mill lers were bidding excitedly for wheat JnIv which started 2lad3Ac higher at 97h@9Sc de- clined rapidly to 96c. rallying just quickly to s,Ac;.., This range was covered several the close private cablegram from Argentine reported an increase in the estimated wheat enough selling to break July to 95c, the low point of the day. but quick rally to 9515c fol lowed ,n July S Sl9ssd at the last; figure 24, closing 1Ac net higher at s1 22lk
