' PRICES, HOWEVER, RISE SMALL FRACTION frevlsloas are Easy, Closing From a Nickel to 8eetesi and Half Cents Uwtr Day's Transactions. CHICAGO, April a Although the grain pita were rather quiet today prices con tinued Arm. May wheat cloning KUc higher, with July up the same. May torn was c better and July up v. while Msy oats were fce higher. Provisions were easier, the July products cloning from t2 7Ho to imc lower. There was only a fair volume of buslne'S In wheat and the market lacked any fea tures of special Importance. Openir.g prices on Juiy were firm and a shade to Wac higher at 724H'72-HiC, under the In fluence of comparatively steady cables, the Liverpool market showing only a slight decline In the face of the revere break here yesterday. May opened un changed to Vc lower at 77'Ki77'c, -ana there was little doing In that month ear y In the day, traders apparently being afraid to venture either way on thU delivery. The market was supported throughout the day by the leading long, and shorts were also good buyers, the latter acting under the belief that a deal Is on In May. Under these Influences and with higher price at St. Louis and New York the market strengthened and the demand gradually en larged. Bullish foreign advices added to the strength the latter part of the session, the German official crop report showing a condition little better than bad, and May aold up to 78c, with July tip to 73c. There was a slight reaction Just before the close and final figures on May were 4c higher at 78h?('78ic, and July ,c h gher at T2',c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 168,000 bu. Primary receipts were oi,0tK) bu., against 2O?,0oo bu. a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 84 cars, which, with local receipts of 35 cars, 6 of contract grade, made total re ceipts for the three points of 119 cars, against 138 cars last week and 135 cars a rear ago. Corn ruled firm on a light trade and in ympathy with the strength tn wheat. The crop news was of the sort calculated to make the sentiment bullish, the govern ment report claiming slow progress hav ng been made In planting throughout the corn belt. May closed Vkc higher at 44o, after selling between 44(44Va and 4-tc. while July was up Vie at 447,c, after ranging be tween 44ic and 43c. Jocal receipts were 87 cars, 2 of contract grade. Small receipts and bullish crop advices caused a good general demand for oats and the trade was on a large scale, espe cially for the July delivery. Shorts were liberal buyers, while commission houses sold. After selling between 84c and 884c, May closed o higher at 344c. July closed Wr higher at ilaic. Local receipts were 60 cars. General liquidation by pit traders caufei weakness In provisions, but trading on the whole waa not large. The buying of brok ers on the decline steadied the market. July pork closed 17Vc lower at I17.42H, July lard waa off WvUc at 39.72H. and r.bs were off 68-7Hc at 9.72H99.75.

The pJatrCjcallle and those that were only part lot sold In Just about yes terday's notches, but still trading was ac tive on all kinds, so that although the big end of the receipts was made up of steers an early clearance was made. The cow market was also active and fully steady, so far as the better grades were concerned, tanners and the common kinds of cutters were rather slow sale, and brought rather uneven prices, the same as has been the case for noma time past. Any kii ui nil desirable, though, changed hands very freely and the prices paid were fully as gooa as tnose in iwm jrewiuni. Bulls veal calves and slags also gold readily at prices that, showed no quotable chsiikC "''" mv, wr cnmnaratlvely few atockefs and feeders In sight thlssmorning and as the demand from the country for good stuff has been quue 1 awvo week, anything good this morning sold at steady to strong prices.

In fact there was practically nothing of fered that could be called choice. As a re sult the market was extremely slow and the tendency of prices downward. Buyers for locsl packers said that they were will ing to buy good stuff at steady prices, but the part-fat klndn. such as were offered to day, they were not at all anxious for. It was late In the day before much business was transacted, as buyers were all bidding lower and sellers wanted steady prices.
