Chicago, March 1S.-The appearance of
cold weather in the Northwest to-day
brought an end 10 the long spell of weak
ness in wheat and caused heavy buying

| strong throughout, May closing 11bc high
er, and July lAql@se higher. The same in
huence ruled in coarse grain markets,
corn and oats advancing &c each Provi-
sions were very duh and inclined to weak
ness, though price changes were small.
