'Ml ICAOO, March 2S.-Mnrkots on the
Board of Trade today were" neiio nnil
strong. Aluy wheat closed lMfl'.ic over
ycaterday. Inllllcncrxl largely by damage
to tho Krcin li crop mid ncrvotiMU'H over a
small war cloud reported from Turkey.
Provisions continued their upward career
founded on the email hog supply and the
excellent cash demand, .May pork closing

' u for .May and V better for July.
New of damage to tho Krenrh crop has
beromn a bit of routine, having been cabled
with morn or less persistency since the be
ginning of the pennon. Sometimes It has
been Ignored nnd nt other times given con
sideration. It was ."helved the other day,
but today It seemed freighted with Impor-

were miners the wiirlil over compelled to

from now till next Harvest. The plausibility
of ihe tbcorv that the millers aro In thn
position mentioned Is apparently borne out
b 1 he excellent demand from eastern cen
ters of consumption as well ns from
abroad. However that may be, shorts cer
tainly felt some strong Incentive for get

St Lou's Interests were leaders The ad
vance late In the session was helped somo
by nervousness over the possibility of war

reporting twenty loads taken for export,
t'lorancps In wheat and flour were ecpial
to 322.000 bushels. Primary receipts went

last year. Meal receipts were fifty-eight
nr. nono of contract grade, while Mlnne
npollH nnd Dultith reported 177 cars, against
6.11 last week and 4.13 n year ngo.
The provision market set out apparently
to shatter records and, according to per-'
sons with memories for statistics, clam
bered up to mi eminence, unknown during
the corresponding months of nny year slneo
lst3. The encouragement for the day was
In higher hog prlcef, but back of this In
fluence wns the condition which has oh
tallied for months an excellent demand for
current consumption and prospects of n
diminishing hog supply. Slnco December 1
May pork has gone up nearly $!. while May
lard and .May ribs hnvo gained a dollar
and over. Today' market was an outsid
er s market, their demand overtopping
even tho pressing wants of the packers.
The lard advance wns the feature, being
fiO' per tierce There was some heavy
piotit-taklng. which cheeked the advance
for a time, but this opposition was swept
awav after a brief existence dlirlnc tho
middle of thu neiulnii. Opening prices, al
though over yesterday's close, were tho
lowest of tho day. May pork ranged nt
from $12.15 to 112.50 ami closed 41c higher at
I12.47'.i; May lard at from f!.:S to t.5'J'4,
closing 25c Improved at $ii.f2'i, aifd Muy
ribs nt from JG.50 to i;.C2'., with the close,
17Mi20o better at fi.fi2',t.
The. corn market, as a rival of wheat and
provisions for the calcium light and the
center of the commercial stage, was u fail
ure. Had It not been for themi markets
tuei coarse cereal would probably have suc
cumbed to the statistics, but with the In
fluence, of these two centers! of strength
tho market held firm. Western receipts,
were 1.000,000 bushels, more than double last
Vear'. Kecelptn here were 370 cars. I'oun
trv offerings were Utunll. fables were not
an encouragement, ('ash iieotjle reported
bids for shipment within thirty days extra
ordinarily heavy, In 'i'.o.OOO-bushel lots, but
tho scnrclt.v of cars curtailed business'. May
ranged nt from 3Sc to 3S:Vff3Sl.e und closed
'iWse over .yesterday nt 3vic.
Tho fenturo In the oats market wns tho
lelallvo strength displayed by the July op
tion, which lessened the discount under
May to -ijc. This was due largely to eoun
trj buying, probably on the strength of the
predicted stormy weather. The market In
a general way was supported by the

1'hn wool market hns ruled weak nnd lower,
especially on fleeces. Thero has been n fair
business done, but It has been genernlly at
tho expense, of quotations, although nt
tompts to brenk the mnrket on certnln lines
of territories hnvo not met with the mpns
uro of success nnt'.elpated. Thero can be
no denying the fact that the fleece market
In on a lowpr IpvcI than current quotations
for tho previous week would tndlcnto nnd,
generally rpcnklng. It Is difficult to move
iinv lines of wool except nt somo conces
sion. 'P'o I ondon sales closed last Satur
dnv nt a decline variously estimated nt
from .'j to 15 per cent except on such wools
a' America has been In the habit of tnk
lnir, w itch apparently show very Itttlo de
cline. The withdrawals ncgrecatp morn
than 100,000 bales and thn purchases for
American account are given at somctning
like 10,060 bales. The sales of thp week In
Boston amounted to 2.075.00O pounds domes
tic and 307.0O0 pounds foreign, making n
total of 3,012.000 pounds, ngnlnst a total of
