Causes Contribute to Create n
strong BuIIish Sentiment
Provisions Active.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-There was a contin-
uation OF the builish sentiment IN wheat
today and c.osing prices were strong, May
beng &c nigner and July %qhc higher.
May corn ciUseu at q gam or AQmc, with
oats Lss1-4c higher. Provisions we're strong,
the Juiy prouucts closing with an advance
OF from i1tql0c to 2Oq221ac.
Opening prices In wheat were barely
steady, due TO moderate selling move
ment by local traders on the 1avorable
weather conditions and to the Indifferent
cables. May was down 1s9hc TO hq &c at
7lAc TO II4sc, and July was unchanged TO
baAc higher at lAQ,2c TO 72lsc. The mar
ket received some support from the Armour
interests eaIy in the session ana with
foreign news uullsh, together with strong
1reely, while commission houses also bought
liberally. UnUer these conditions prices
gIauually advanced, May selling up TO 1Sc
anu July to dz19c. Late In the day there
was a slight reaction on Liquidation, but
ciosng prices were strong, May being hc
mg her at 7fAq65sc and July up Ssu nc at
7z&c Clearances of wheat ana flour W IRE
equal TO 4o2,OJV bushels. Primary receipts
were 1880 bushels, against 1880 year
ago. Minneapolis ana Duluth reported re-
ceipts OF l6J cars, which with local receipts
OF 20 cars, OF contract grade, made toeal
receipts of 1870 cars, against A2 cars last
week and l43 cars year ago
Owing to scarcity of offerings the trading
I'm corn was rather light, but unuer the In
fiuence of the strength in wheat and oats q
firm feeling prevailed, with a good general
demand, particularly in the July option
Commission houses were good buyers oi

market opened firm at an advance OF sos
points, ruled steady and fairly active FOR
time and then commenced TO decline under
realizing. The early Improvement was at
tributed to much better class oi caples
than called for by The closing OF the New
York exchange yesterday. the demand IN
the local market was mainly from shorts'
with subsequently ceiling movement IN,
stituted by parties who had pro1ts and
were disposed to secure them In view of the
large movement. Wi,hiI less than an hour
the net rise had been reduced to 1q3 points.
The new crop months were comparatively
neglected. The local contingent has been
Inclined to sell in a conservative way on
the large movement. The volume of busi-

SHEEP-There were not enough sheep
here today TO make a test of the market,
but for the week supplies have been about
the same as for last week and a little
heavier than for the corresponding week
OF last year The tendency OF prices, how
points and in fact the break Is the most
radical of the season. All kinds, the better
grades as well as the common kinds, can
safely be quoted 50lG75c lower than a week
ago The principal reason for this sudden
drop, as has been previously mentioned, is
the fact that Arizona and Texas grass
sheep are now arriving on the southern
river markets and also at Chicago and as
prospects are favorable for liberal receipts
from this time on the break in feed stun
Is not TO be wondered at.
The bulk OF the offerings now coming for
ward at this time consists OF clipped stock
choice A few bunches OF good stun ar
rive every day, but the big end Is only part
fat. Quite few wooled lambs are still
coming.
The feeder market has been very dull all
the week the demand and also the
supply has been very limited. Prices have
OF course, followed the downward course
OF values on fat stun.
