THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, April "A. Wheat was
more affected today by foreign than by
home news. U~nfavorable Russian ad-
vices and bad prospects in Germany
gave prices an upward tilt. The fact
that ocean passage figures we're much
under those Of the previous week was
also an influence on the bull side Of
the market. Nevertheless the fine out
looked for crops in the United States
acted with the tagging cash demand as
a break on the tendency toward an
advance. The opening was Is higher
to k@N down. May started at 81A to
91A, a gain of Il to Is, reacted to 81
and rallied to 911z.
L~ightness of world shipments gave
strength to corn. besides offerings
here were limited. May opened the
same as Saturday night to Y up, at
51z TO 52h.
Pit traders in oats followed the corn
lead, but commission houses were fair
sellers. The result was about a stand
off. May started a shade to Il dearer,
at 37b432 to 80, and fell back to Big.
Provisions went sharply lower on ac-
count Of the big run of hogs. Some of
the packers were selling with a free
hand. First transactions showed a de-
cline of ia to IS, with July delivery
1870 for pork, 500 for lard and 500 to
sos for ribs.

THE T MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 24.-The cotton
market opened firm, at an advance of
. to II points in response to higher
cables and reports of further rains in
the central belt. Trading was very
active and realizing more or less en-
eral at the advance. but the large Of
ferings were remarkably well absorbed.
and after the opening July contracts
sold up TO l5.11. with the general list
showing a net gain of about s to Il
points. The fear of unsettled weather
in the South probably helped new crop
positions, and October contracts sold at
10 cents, but the advance in the late
months seemed to be largely in sym
patahy with the old crop positions.
Reactions of 5 to s 6points occurred
during the late forenoon under realiz-
ing, but the market firmed up again
toward midday, as offerings had been
very well absorbed and prices made
new high ground on old-crop positions,
with May selling at 1901 and July at
1913, OF Z to 13 points above the closing
figures of Saturday on a renewal Of
bull support and covering. The new
crop was rather slow to respond to the
old crop strength, as the official fore
casts were considered fairly favorable,
but October sold back to l3 cents, or
about 6 points net higher.
