GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, March 25.-In view of dis
turbing fall in the amount of wheat on
hand at Liverpool and the lightness of
stocks elsewhere in Europe prices here
today showed additional strength. The
opening was a shade off to 1saA higher.
May started at 1.O3Aa1 .O34 to 103ss, un-
changed to haA UP. and rose to 1-O35s.

Commission house demand proved suf-
ficient- to advance corn. Wheat strength
and meager world shipments appeared to
influence the buying. May opened the
same as Saturday night to "A dearer at
y to 72A, touched IFS and rallied to
72A.
Leading concerns were conspicuous on
the bull side of oats. Pit traders, how
ever. displayed considerable spirit in OPP
posing the efforts to lift the market. May
opened 1-16 to 1saA higher at 53s4 to 537s
and seemed unable to move above the
last named figures.
Business later shifted good deal to
the July future. In consequence the
wheat market as a whole eased off. The
visible supply decrease was less than eX-
pected. Closing figures were easy. with
May at 1.02Si, a decline of Sab net.
A further gain in corn was scored on
account of good demand southwest, but
prices afterward weakened because of
bearish advices from New England. The
close was at TBS for May, Is above Satur-
day night.
A heavy run of hogs and little atten-
ton from provision houses was noted in
the provision market, and resulted in
making products a bit more costly.
Initial sales varied from a shade down
for pork, 9.771a for lard and 9.F5 to 9.471a
for ribs

Surprise to Professionals.

Operations during the early session
were on a scale such as the market has not
witnessed in many months. The further
advance took large part of the profess
sonal element by surprise, that faction
having looked for reaction, because of
the backwardneSs of the standard stocks.
AS each buying movement seemed to eX-
hauSt the demand il was followed by an
other rise, especially in the metal stocks,
which easily reassumed leadership of the
market.
There was some evidence of pool ma
nipuiation in minor issues. with indica-
tons of steady profit-taking elsewhere,
but the effect on the list as whole was
unimportant.
