CHICAGO, March 21. The wheat market,
encouraged -by a good foreign demand,
forged upward and onward for a time to
day, but reacted when this demand was
satisfied arid closed weak. May un
der yesterday. May com closed Ue lower
and May oats a shade better. Provisions
at tho close were fie lower for May pork
to 5c higher fnr May ribs.
May wheat opened a shade down at KM
0C!Ho and eased quickly to (HV. Inllueneed
by the prediction of heavy Argentine ship
ments. A cabin from that country said
flf'y boats were being loaded. At the de
cline matters took a better aspect nnd a
reaction followed, .May selling to 6rVf
667frc. T1i scahord reported a good de
mand, both from England and the con
tinent, and 60,000 bti were reported sold
hero for export. illds for I.Vi.ow were In
the hands of cash people. Liverpool was
H'eady and Paris higher. The bulge met
prollt-taklng, however, and the demand.
.Having apparently been siitlsiied, the mar
ket turni-.! tall. Hlumnlng to WUc. Tho
close was weak. Muy Wi'Ai' depressed at
WdftOOUc Trade on the whole was rather
ilull and feeling bearish. New' York r-
ported 2y load taken for export. Atlantic
port clearances In wheal and Hour were
equal to 2GI,'o bti. Primary receipts were
.!'S.iM) bn against 11-0,'WO ,u, n(,t y,.:ir.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 531 cars,
comimred with tta last week and 112 a year
ago. i.ocai receipts were si) cars. 1 01 con
tra, t grade. The cash wheat bids were
fill right, but differences arose concerning
h lipping terms, as bidders clamored for
ririmpt shipment, while brokers asked for
de'ay. pleading lack of ears.
Trade In corn was altogether local In
character and at that there was not 11
Kreat deal of l. Country offerings wero
umall. but the shipping demand was also
light; 150,'fiO bu. were reported sold hero
for shipment to the seaboard and New York
reported 31 toads taken for export. Local
receipts were 2S4 cars. M.iy ranged from
J.e to 37'ic ol closed 'fee down at 3'e.
Tho oais market was steady, helped bv
some demand from shlpoers and the smith
raslem stocks. The range, however, was
narrow and' the session quiet. Local re
rplptH were 101 cms May sold fiom 21 to
3-l'l.c, closing 11 shade Up at 21ft 2 Hke.
Thn provisions market, save In Mav pork,
was llrm. Pork scored an advance In sym-
fiathy with lard and ribs, shirts cover
ng but lost It and cloxcil weak. I'or laid

Thero has been no advance in prices, but
the downward tendency in values appears
to bo temporarily nrrested nt any rate; tho
market seems to have settled upon 11 basis
on which actual business can bo consum
mated to porno extent nnd tho general feel
ing pervading tho trade certainly shows
moro hopefulness and confidence. No
great amount of business has been done,
however, nnd If It wero not for a large
HalO of 1.000.000 imitn.lu rn.mrto,! Iii- r. ,.r.
tain well known house thp business of the

On tho uverngo there has lieen a tleclino
of 51714 per cent In tho price of domestic
wool from the top edge touched by tho
mnrket last November, but for the tlmo
being tho mnrket is In a sternly position
as to prices. Tho sales of tho week In
Hoston amounted to 3.0U7.00O pounds domes
tic nnil 5SS.000 pounds foreign, making a
total of 3,595.000 pounds, against a total of
