AGO, Mareh ¢4 —|Special Telegzram to the Bek. ]—Cables were dull and easier all around this morning, with further declines considered not improbable. ‘The open board #larted May wheat out at Xle, but by the time the regular board opened there were plenty of sellers at 0% e and the market decreased to M{e, fluetuating a while between these two points, T1 is 80 little in the wheat warket that the trade is beginning to argue that its future depends Jargely,if not entirely apon the export branch of it. and that if the tlearances continue heavy they will by the Ist of May make such inroads on the visible wpply that it will be now! e near the bug- sear that it is at present. The local crowd tave got tired of the mystery of the wheat feal and are haif inclined to believe now ihat they have been afraid of a bugbear. For a week some of the be notthe bigcest o them, however—have been courageously *the deal was rotten,” and that ck would demonstrate this. They have not yet summoned courage, however, attack, but fair weatl iower cables and_ disappointment oy falling off in new export business are touraging boldness. 1t is not unlikely tlm! another raid will be i it ch drove it from Se to e, A little mori weather, or a little further favorable progress toward good crops, or a little (Ivcm\'v demoralization abroad, may i atany tune. It isn’t worth while |||'n[.,|]ulll- cating the result. it might drive the clique from the field; it might land all the raiders in the chq!m‘i clutehes: but such a trial of strength of the bull cligue will cer- tainly soon be made. Commission houses and - brokers say there has been no riod in @& long time past when e has exhibited such flat and apparently lifeless conditions. No orders came from any source to day and even the few shorts there are out in wheat see no reason why they thould come in. Thus the ordinary demand from that fource is cut off and the pits leit in an extremely dull condition. Two or three times during the morninz May got up to Kle and 81lye, but settled back to S0%ic and remained around that figure till some time after noon, when a few local longs evinced a disposition to unload some wheat fn»el{ breaking May back to 80lge.
