CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISION
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices ON Board of Trade.


CHICAGO. April 29,-Additional delay to
seeding operations in the northwest, owing
% continued unfavorable weather, caused
4 further advance in wheat prices today,
l9sq1zc to lhc. Corn and oats closed mod
sfetely firm and provisions firm.
The wheat market was strong all day
and at one time the July delivery was up
Fac from the low point of the day, while
other deliveries showed almost equally as
sharp advances. The bulge, however, in
iueed liberal realizing, which resulted in
a break of about 1c from the best mark
Of the session. A heavy snowfall in the
Canadian northwest and snow OF rain
throughout Minnesota and the Dakotas was
The chief factor in the situation. Reports
rom Minneapolis claimed that seeding has
already been delayed more than a week
md that II will be fully another seven
lays before farm work can be resumed
even with favorable weather. An inn
proved demand for spring wheat Tor ship
nent TO the east from Duluth and a re-
rival in flour business at the northwestern
markets prompted. additional buying OF
wheat here. The loss of a large quantity
" wheat in the destruction by fire of a
local elevator had a slight bullish influence
AZ the start. The trade was inclined TO
,gnore the beaTtsh reports emanating from
he southwest, where weather conditions
we're decidedly favorable for the growing
crop, and also to disregard the weak tone
Of cables. During the day the July de-
livery ranged between Sl.0SA and SLIPS and
closed at 3llllR. september SOLD between
dOl7k and s1.04is and closed at N.03h.
Wet weather and the bulge in wheat
had a strengthening effect on the corn
market. During the day the May delivery
sold between 70&4c and 71%c. The close
was firm, with prices unchanged to ia
&c higher, with May at 1G71sc.
Cold weather in the west and northwest
inspired considerable buying OF oats and
the market was firm all day. Al the close
prices were unchanged TO hc higher. COM
pared with the previous final quotations
MAY ranged between $40 and 56Sc and
closed at the low figure.
Trade In provisions was extremely quiet
Al the close prices were 5al2lkc lower thar
the previous close.

planned and every part was well tax
en-. The church was filled to its ut
most capacity and many unable to
get in, went away. The trial lasted
tor about two hours and the jury
brought IN verdict for the defend
ant, although Mr.. Bell, one Of the
jurors, insisted ( that the plaintiff
should be allowed three-fifths Of ru-
