CHICAGO-The wheat market was
somewhat Irregular to-day. but on the
whole was depressed by the large re-
celpts and light clearances, May closing
h4%c under yesterday. Corn and oats
closed q shade higher and provisions
unchanged to &c UP.
The Indifference Of Liverpool to the
advance in wheat here yesterday weak
ened the local market at the opening,
May at 67%@67%c: showing an initial
loss OF nc. Buyers late yesterday on
the war scare sold and the price eRsed
off to 6I1s867Mc, where 1t steadied, and
on reports OF better export demand,
laboriously advanced to Csc. On liquid
alton occasIoned by the very light clear
ances and the liberal primary receipts
the rally was lost, May touching 614ac.
A rum0r that Ladysmith had fallen
caught the market in an oversold con-
dition and shorts made haste to cover,
under pressure OF which the market
again advanced May to 6S96SBc. The
rumor was unconhrmed and some OF
the scare accommodations were disposed
Of. The close was rather weak, May
M6Mc under yesterday at 67%c. About
forty loads were reported taken for eS-
port. Seaboard clearances were S2,49S
bushels, Of wheat, $40 barrels Of -four.
Primary receipts were 6l1, 40 bushels,
compared with 7O7,22S last year. Min
neapolls and Duluth reported 3O6 cars,
against PSI last week and 469 year
ago. Local receipts were 4O6 cars, none
OF which were graded contract. Trade
was generally dull, though at times
fairly active.
Corn was firm all day, up a tribe at
times even when wheat was weak. The
opening showed a fractional decline In
sympathy with the wheat market, but
II WIS soon recovered. Small country
offerings and rather unreasonable
weather were the strengthening infiu-
ence8 The market was dull and the
shipping demand poor. The condition
of this demand-or lack of it-can be
illustrated by the fact that a New York
wire announced the departure Of the
steamer Belgravavia, empty, having
failed to get eight loads Of grain at the
minimum freight rate, although her
Destination lB the largest corn center In
Europe. Receipts here were AZ cars,
MAY ranged from S2Ic to SS&c closed
a shade over yesterday ut 33D33hc.
Oats were firm but very dull. The
market occupied somewhat novel
position, MS there was plenty for sale at
90 and a good demand for the cereal
Mt prices only fractlOnally under that.
Tho result was that as soon as the ask
inE price was reached the price imnle-
diately dropped. CoOntry offerings
were small, The sample market was
firm. Receipts hero were lbS cars. May
ranged from 2SK 62SMc to 2ic. closing
shade up at 2tc.
A good shipping demand and some
covering By ahOrtS held tho provision
market ann In the face Of liberal hog
receipts and softer prices at the yards,
Longs were made the proht-takers,
The trade was not active nor large.
May pork sold from SO rs to $40 S2}s
and closed Sc over yesterday at $40 S2m;
