CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Wheat got to the call price to-day. but closed under the top. It was a short market, puts having been good for sev- eral days. The best advance in the last hour on cable avices from Paris that the remis- sion of the wheat tariff might be extended to October l, the Chamber of Commerce having petitioned for that action. Liverpool cables showed decline for the day from 9s@2d cen tai The continental markets taking holiday. There a continuance of favorable weather in the West. The Price Current was rather bearish. Joseph Letter had bid to-day for another heavy line of wheat from the same people whom he sold 2.0O0, 900 bushels for ship ment to France about two weeks ago. The opening strength here was added to by reports e1nanating from St. Louis that complaints of rust wheat were being received there from northern sections of Missouri, and of course as the bearish local sentiment was based almost entirely the unblemished reputation of the coming crop shorts took fright immediately upon the shadow of suspicion being cast upon it. July sold down to S1 0512 and September to SS1lc, and they respectively to $1 o74 end S93sc on the rust scare. July wheat opened higher at s1 06 sold up to s1 065s, declined to s1 051k recovered to $1 o7A and closed at s1 CT unchanged, declined to s1 35 and advanced to s1 45 bid at the close.
 Corn was firm to-day and at time was full cent above yesterday. July closed with net gain of A G2sc
 Oats followed corn but closed unchangei
 Provisions ruled dull and easy. There some buying by packers. Pork and lard and ribs closed 171zc higher for the July option
