THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
BuIIish influence Apparent in Wheat
Corn. and Oats.

Corn. and Oats.
CHICAGO, May Wheat rose under
the influence Of somewhat higher Liver
pool cables and apprehension over the
continued dry weather in the Northwest.
The local sentiment was more bu.lish.
The outside trade continues very light.
Paris advices were weak. Owing 10 tie
holiday the statistical returns were con-
fused. There was fair cash business
here The seaboard reports 80 loads. TIE
strongest feature was the advance in May
price in the different markets throughout
the country.
The corn deliveries we're about a million.
and the cash grain was taken in by The long
interests. The feature of the speculative
trade today was selling CT July corn by
those who are supposed TO be the May
holders. There was narrowing up of the
May July difference, only 7-sc at the
close. Gables were barely steady. Clear
anees for the two days a little over a mil
lion. The cash demand here has been fiat,
but the seaboard claims 70 loads for ez-
port.
There was sharp enough shipping de-
mand for oats to advance the May 5-SM
34c, and to narrow the May discount from
Use to less than 5-Sc. Cash sales here
were az least 300. 900 bushels and g cd
deal more could have been sold. Deiv-
cries were about 100000 bushels Toni sht S
close is 3-Sd5-Sc over Mondays, with the
May the strongest.
The sharp decline in the hog market of
two days past caused very weak OPEN
ing in provisions. prices showing a severe
decline from Monday. The early selling
was by commission houses with packers
and shorts buying. There was further lqui-
dation by holders during the day. Demand
for ribs from packers closed the market
steady a little above inside prices The
cash trade was fair.

The steel securities generally were sold.
and prices went off fractionally in trust
stocks but several points in others. The
new reason for cynicism regarding these
stocks was the talk regarding the Repub-
lie Steel Company difficulties. 1t was
said in some quarters that there is likely
to be a suit for the dissolution of the con-
cerr into its constituent companies. The
foundation for this rumor is not official,
and there is no reason to believe it. Off

lively. The company has been prosperous
and its business is at present in excellent

talk of Vanderbilt buying for control in
