Chicago Grain.

Chicago, March 26.-Grain traders displayed more confidence today re- garding war developments and there was q moderate advance in prices. In the corn pit offerings were light and it did not take much buying to lift values. Smallness of receipts here tended to aid the bulls. Opening prices which showed Is cents gain with May $l.25 7-s were followed by a continued further upturn.
 Seaboard demand gave strength to oats. Commission houses were also good buyers. After opening Is to 1 cent higher with May 85 1-2 to S6 the market scored additional gains.
 Higher quotations on hogs put firm ness into provisions. The advance of cereals counted also against the bears.
 In the later dealings something of a reaction took place, owing to a lack of fresh buying orders. The close was steady at the same as yesterdays finish to Is cents higher, with March $1.27 3-4 and May $1.25 7-S.
