CHICAGO-The wheat market was
strong and active to-day, mainly under
the incentive OF reported damage to
the French crop. Profit taklngs also
played part and most Of the advance
was lost. May closed a shade over
yesterday. Corn closed h6Ar improV-
ed, and oats unchanged. Provisions ut
the close were 2A9f0c UP.
Breadth, strength and animation
were shown by the wheat market and
foreign buying, caused by further re-
ports that the French crop had suffer-
ed severely was the feature. Paris was
up equal to &c bushel here and was
reported taking all Offers made over
night, The irresponSlVe attitude of
Liverpool to the advance here yester-
day had a dlscouraglng effect early,
May opening &c lower at GSA I6S7sc. A
reaction followed by reason OF the pre-
'dICtiOn Of a severe cold wave, the bet
ter tone of later Liverpool cables and
the French RdvIcea, May was bid up
to 69I69Nc. There had been talk Of
considerable export, but New York re-
ported only eleven loads taken, which
with vigorous profit taking by traders,
resulted in reaction which sent May
to 6SAkc, at which that option closed
firm, but only shade over yesterday
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels.
compared with $4,000 bushels last year
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 800
cars against 3l4 last week, and $40 u
year ago Receipts were ~ cars none
OF which were Of contract grade. Clear
anceB at the seaboard in wheat and
-four were equal TO $4,000 bushels.
The corn market was strong and
trade fairly active. A reiteratIOn that
the Aragentine crop had suffered Sc
Verely and n cable announcing the ruin
Of the Uruguay fields by wheat were
the factors. Liverpool was up ultie.
The strength of wheat was also an In
fluence. The market was n broad one.
Clenrances were $4,000 bushels and
local receipts 7lS cars. May sold from
SSIs a S3Mc 20 3a7Gc, and closed m0ko
improved at 334c.
In the oats market, which was tirm,
but not active, light country offerings,
small receipts and the strength Of corn
were the influences. Local receipts
were l75 cars. May ranged from $3.50
23Ac, closing unchanged at 238c.
Provisions were active and proper
tionately strong, pork ut the best being
up l2ih@l7ilc; lard &c and ribs Toe. a
recession from the top was caused by
profit thklnRs. The factor aside from
some natural sympathy With grain,
was the excellent outside demand
which met with light offerings from
those who are supposed to be the lar
gcRt holders Hog receipts under the
estimate and better prices Mt the yards
were also Influences, which were felt
mostly Mt the opening, initial figures
showing shade gain over night. May
pork sold from $l1 l5Ili 30 Und closed
