Chicago, March 21.-Reports Of
damage to crops in Continental Eu-
rope to-day, together with fears of a
! late seeding season for the domestic
spring crop, strengthened wheat. May
closed with gain of sc. Corn rose
Nose and oats Ne. Pork advanced
212c, lard left off a shade higher and
ribs unchanged.
The fear Of the crop damage in Eu-
rope and indications OF a late spring
caused a better feeling in the wheat
| market from the commencement. May
opened shade higher at 677s 068c,
and as domestic bad crop claims were
as numerous as ever, the price grad
| uaiiy rose to 688c. Chicago receipts
81 cars against 3Sl year ago. Mime
apolis and Duluth received 1853 car
loads compared with $50 the same day
last year.
Primary western markets received
altogether 422, 900 bushels compared
with 432 600 a year ago. Atlantic port
clearances of wheat and -four were
small, only 2SS,000 bushels. Flour COM
| mission people reported the foreign
demand better than for a month back.
Bradstreets' report OF the worlds Wis
| ible made an increase Of $4,000 bush
els compared with 1851 900 bushels
last year The market weakened on
that information and May wheat, which
previous to the announcement had been
bringing 6S5s06Shc, dropped at once
to 631b @63Ac. It was steadied again.
however, in a few minutes by reports
from New York Of As boatlcads being
taken for export. The bears made q
savage drive about half an hour from
the close, and depressed the market
for a minute or two to about the low
est figure made at the opening. but the
closing price for May was 6SAc.
Diminishing receipts ard bad weather
for hauling the grain to market
strengthened corn. Another helping
factor was a good cash demand for
shipment to the seaboard. Receipts
were sos cars. May opened a shade
lower at 343s 0341ac, declined to 34Ac,
then gradually improved to 347sc, and
closed with buyers at 349s034%c.
There was only a scattered trade in
oats and the market was influenced al
most entirely by wheat and corn. Re-
ceipts, POS cars. May began a shade
lower at 2534 @257sc, improved to 254c
and closed at 26Bc.
Firmness of corn had a stimulating
influence on provisions, but the re-
ceipts of hogs were still too heavy for
any confident buying. Changing of
May contracts into later deliveries was
the chief feature of the speculative
business. May pork unchanged at
SS921a, rose to SS.97K@9.00 and closed
at $685. sellers. The range in lard ana
ribs was inconsequential.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, so cars; corn, ITO cars; oats, rs
cars; hogs, $4,000 head
