! Chicago, April 1.-THE wheat mar
| ket to-day ruled weak and strong by
turns within range OF lac on crop
| damage news, May finally closing Win
| a gain of &c. Corn is unchanged and
oats nc higher. Pork lost lac, lard
| 71zc, and ribs &c.
| Iae impulse among wheat Specula-
| tors at the start was to sell ON the
| government crop repors, which was re-
gar6ed as bsarizh. Nay opened 1sQ Ac
lower at from 71Asc down to 707sc, and
| as there was no great amount OF wheat
| wanted to begin the price declined
steadily to 70$sc The decline was ac-
centuated by report from Kansas
City to the effect that the Kansas crop
| had without doubt improved wonder
fully in the hast few days. The more
the government report was considered
and analysed the more the trade was
inclined to doubt if it could rightfuliy
be given bearish Interpretation, and
many of the early sellers wanted SACK
former holdings. Statistician Snow,
in his report, based on mere recent
adyices than the government received,
reported severe declines within the
week, reducing Indiana 10 per cent,
Illinois Is, Missouri IS, and Kansas 3.
The latter report had nuch influence
with traders and turned the general
pit feeling from the selling to the buy
ing side. May rose from around 7012c
to 721sc on the buying it melted, sub
stantiated as it was by numerous prl-
vate reports of deteriorating conditions.
Chicago received 118 cars, of which
eight were graded contract. Minneap-
oils and Duluth got 1876 car loads, conf
pared with 18i a year ago. Atlantic
port clearances OF wheat and -four were
10000 bushels. Bradstreet's reported
worlds visible decrease since last
week 331. coo bushels, compared with
l 10000 bushels increase the like week
last year. In the end the niarke's began
to give heed TO the little peeping note
of improving prospects in Kansas, and
to turn deaf ear to the perfect howl
Of distress from other interests. I.iqui-
dation set in on heavy scale, ald
the market lost the advance about as
fast as it gained it, May closing with
sellers at TN @71$sc. The cora mar
l.et kept in range with whedC. Re
celpts were light and prom to re-
main so for some time to come, but
the weather was seasonable and prom
Using for the pushing OF spring work
en- the farms. There was fair cash
demand. Receipts, 259 cars. May
opened a shade lower at 34tsG9c44c,
rose to 34Ac, then dropped back to
34Ac, the closing price. Oats were
fairly active with trade of general
character. More favorable weather
caused easiness in July delivery, while
the good demand for May from ship
pers held this delivery quite strong
Receipts, 16S cars. May begau u shade
higher at 261s Q26Ac, advanced TO
2e1ac, then reacted to 26e. and closed
at 26Ac.
Liquidation weakened Provisions.
Cash trade showed some little improve
ment, but the stocks of lard are accu-
mulating fast, and bulls in this product
were discouraged because the May and
June run Of hogs is now near and May
liquidation in order May pork opened
21zc lower at s9.i71s, touched 1920,
then sold off to $9.021a and closed at
$9.05. The range in lard and ribs was
small
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, II cars; corn, 120 cars; oats,
SO cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
