while conditions have changed for the
better. they do not warrant such. an ex-
IRENE change in sentiment Without
question the drastic treatment which the

tent cured the evils existing. but full
health and vigor cannot be restored in a

TRADE IN CHICAGO.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.1


Chicago March 3O-Wheat here closed l2c to sc
o1yer Saturday The advance was largely on the
announcement here of a decrease in the visible
supply Of 276000 bushelsabout treble the expecta-
ton It developed about the time the market
closed that the report error. and that the
decrease was 1.764 900 bushels. There is curiosity
as to how much Of to-day's advance will be lost
tomorrow when the error in the visible supply
figures becomes plain to ALL May opened at 'zi4c'
sold between 7214c and 1890. and closed at f3lc;
July closed at 6e24c. Even corrected. the visible
decrease 17e4.OO0 bushels is larger than was eX-
pected. and larger than last year. Clearances to-
Cay were $4,000 bushels. Receipts West and
Northwest were larger than year ago. Cables
were not much changed. No cash business was
reported closed here. The seaboard reported 20
loads The weather clear and mild. entirely
favorable. The feature here, as in other markets.
was the relative strength of May. Armour people
were large sellers of May just at the close. No
manipulation is apparent, but wheat stocks are
small and there is some evidence of natural con-
gestion
Corn advanced sc. and held it. May sold at
4sl.c and 43IAc and closed at 43%c July closed at
44c sellers Small receipts advanced the cash mar
ket &c; that Influenced the futures. Corn was
helped by the wheat strength. There were 81 cars,
with 10 estimated for tomorrow Cudany brokers
were selling May and buying July The visible
decreased 43 900 bushels. The local stock in
creased 249GOO bushels The shipping demand is
not improving but Western offerings are small
Cash oats were 12c to 1c higher, and the futures
closed &c to 1C over Saturday. The May left Off
at $3.50, and the July at Sic sellers. Receipts were
1so cars the estimate for Tomorrow $50. The vsi-
bic increased 600 bushels. Patten seems to be
over on the bull side of May now, and the specula-
tive mood has been changed by the very severe de-
cline of the last fortnight.
The death of Mr.. Swift weakened the provision
market early: because the Swift CONCERN is sup
10 cent break in hogs early, The whole provision
port appeared for ribs and lard. The list closed
unchanged to a little better than Saturday. There
were 5000 hogs West. compared with $1,000 hogs
last year The average weight here last week was
21S pounds compared with 215 last year and 222
pounds two years ago.
