CHICAGO, April 21.-The markets
were all quiet to-day. Wheat was
steady, closing a shade over yester-
day. Business was mostly in the way
of changing. Corn closed a shade to
nc down and the oats market IS to 3sc
reduced. Hog product was weak and
the close 10c to 17Hc under yester-
days final figures.
Up to IL o'clock the wheat market
was quiet but steady, slowly but firmly
working upward under the influence
of steady cables and the frmness of
corr together with light receipts in
the Northwest. Corn, which had been
firm early, meanwhile was working
lower and this finally had its effect on
wheat, which ~relinquished the bulge
r%etreating the mark from which it
had started out. Shorts were the best
buyers early. They sold yesterday
and the steadipesS of cables this norm
ing. gave them cause to repent. The
southwest was also a buyer, much of
it, however, to cover short lines of
no particular magnitude. The bulk
of the days business was in changing
May for July, or vice versa. Most of
this business vas done at a spread of
" to 1hc. Opened a shade up at 6512
@653sc, advanced to 65% @65Ac and
closed a shade up at 65A @65%c. July
opened a shade higher at 66A @66Bc,
touched 67Bc and closed a shade up at
66A @66Bc.
May corn ranged from 38%c to 1874
and closed &c down at 38Ac; July
from 39s @39%c to 39Ac, closing a
shade down at 39Ac. AS in the other
grain markets, there was considerable
changing, mostly of May for July.
Liquidation of May was the feature
in the oats pit, the July attaining a
premium of Ac at the close. May
ranged from 231s to 22%c and closed
3sc down at 229se; July from 23A to
22B@23c, closing Hc depressed at
22B @23c.
Provisions were dull and weak. Hogs
were lower and there was continued
liquidation which met a slack demand.
May pork sold from $12 921a to $12 721a
and closed 17hc under yesterday at
