CROP DAMAGE REPORTS
CAUSE GRAIN TO RECOVER FROM
LAST WEEKS DEPRESSION.
The India Wheat Crop Now Said to he
Suffering from Drought-Corn
Higher and Pork Firm.

CHICAGO. March 13.-Reports Of drought
In India to-day. together with domestic
crop damage reports, had a bullish effect
on wheat and May closed &c higher. Corn
gained &c and oats A@2sc. Pork left off
2l2c higher. lard unchanged and ribs PIC
lower
The early news connected with wheat al
together was encouraging TO the bulls, and
at the start the market recovered somewhat
from the e> rene dependency 1t expert
enced Satur, ay. The better feeling was i'm
parted by eady foreign markets and the
small worl g shipments last week The ex-
ports frc-i this country comprised about %
per cent OF the total, while Russia and the
Danubian countries combined furnished only
about 10 per cent May opened 14g9sc high
er at from 69lsc up to 695s469s.c, but the de-
mand at the Improvement was not urgent.
Scattered selling by commission houses
forced the price off to 6s5sc. AT that point.
however, the selling pressure slackened and
an upward tendency set in. Chicago re-
ceived sixty-eight cars. of which only three
graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 557 cars, compared with "A for the same
day last year. Primary Western market re-
ceipts all told amounted to 63S,0S0 bushels,
against 514, 900 bushels year ago. The do
nestle visible supply increased S22.0o
bushels; last year it decreased 59', OoO
bushels. Clearances of wheat and -four from
Atlantic ports equaled 26l0o0 bushels. The
principal feature of the news was the crop
reports. They came from all directions and
made much more positive claims Of winter
killing than previous advices. Near the
close the reported damage TO the Indian
wheat crop by the drought and the steadi-
ness of European markets caused this mar
ket to rule firm to the end. From 692sc for
May the price gradually rose to 70lsc, when
a slight reaction set in on profit taking and
May closed at S93sQl0c.
Corn gained q little in sympathy with
wheat and also the receipt of quite a volume
of buying orders from the country. one
of the heaviest local shorts was the prlEci-
pal buyer. Liquidation of long corn seemed
TO have run its course. Receipts were fSE
cars. May opened l4qSc higher at SS1sd
| 35Ac, eased off to 343sc. then reacted and
closed at 351sc.
oats were firm IN sympathy with the other
grains. There was q good scattered demand
for May, but July was more or less
| neglected. The cash demand from the East
was good, but holders here were not IN
clined to sell at current prices. Receipts
go cars. The market began Qssc up al
26ssc sold sparingly at 26hc, rallied 70 2ssg

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, March 13-The influx of buyers f.
still very heavy and trading along broad
lines Nearly all divisions of the market, both
at first hands and with jobbers, the scenes
OF liberal buying. Cotton goods have shown bet
ter results than for some time previously. The
market for blesched cottons has shown more
stability than heretofore Coarse colored goods
have been the subjects of freer inquiry, too Both
divisions are very strong, prices considered.
Brown goods. both for domestic and foreign con-
sumption, seem to be more freely bought than
recently. Ducks and Osnaburgs strong and in
favor with buyers. Converted goods show gen.
orally good results The manufacturing and cut
ting-up trades are fairly active operators in the
market Print cloths, according TO corrected re-
ports, sold to the extent of nearly $50 600 pieces
at Fall River and other Eastern markets during
the last week. None of these goods were extras.
The latter are quoted nomnally at 2Ac, but in
reality cannot be secured at that price. The stock
shows slight increases. Southern print cloths
have KEPT pace with the advances in Eastern
goods. Prints and woven coored cotton fabrics
continued to show good results. Several lines are
sold up and with the exception of these trading
has been going forward with considerable vim

The Iuterstate-commerce Commission, in
session at Chicago yesterday, began inves
tigating the grain rates of Western rail-
roads. 1t is expected the inquiry will con-
tinue the greater part of the week The
Chicago Board of Trade has complained that
the Western railroads are discriminating in
grain rates against Illinois points in favor
of places west OF the Mississippi The rail-
road and warehouse commission OF Illinois
IS conducting the case for the shippers. The
Board of Trade presented no evidence
against the railroads in support of the
charges. A written statement not sworn
10. was filed, but could not be judicially con-
sidered by the commission +. A. Grier. of
Peoria, told OF the injury done TO Illinois
shippers. he said Peoria had fourteen rail-
roads and last year handled 1870 600 BUSH
els of grain. At present there is 10000 BUSH
els or grain in elevators there The diScrim-
nation In rates, he said, had stopped the
shipments of grain through Peoria for eX
port. Points IN Iowa, he said, could ship
TO Baltimore for 4 cents per hundred less
than from Peoria. As a result the Iowa
farmer was getting 2l4c per bushel more for
his corn than the Illinois producer In reply
TO questions put by railroad men. Mr.. Grier
admitted that this years crop of corn N
uct of Iowa and less suited for the export
trade. Other witnesses from Peoria reiter-
ated Mr.. Grter's testimony.
CT. j. Grammer, general traffic manager of
the Lake Shore. was the only railroad man
examined during the day. He suggested
ing been filed was that the roads were abso-
lutely maintaining rates. and that every
shipper, big or little. was required to pay
the same rates
