THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Narrow Fluctuations Mark the Trading in the Wheat Pit. A NOVEL MOVEMENT IN CORN. An Alleged Shortage of the Visible Bupply Has the Effect to Weaken Prices—Oats Dull-Gen- eral Quotations. COhicago Produce Market. Cricaco, March 10.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.)-The wheat market showed some strength early inthe session and even ad- vanced J4¢ above the opening figures, but af- ter that the market sagged slowly for awhile and then a little faster when the knowledge of the government crop roport was dissem- inated. However, a majority of traders re fused forsome timeto belicves that there was any crop report, as it was generally un- derstood that none would be issued before April 10, But the report came through the usual channels and bore internal evidence in fla style of composition of its authenticity. Stll there were doubters and more who questioned its aceuracy. The fact that there were 10,000,000 bushels more ‘wheat in farm- ers’ hands than on March 1st, 1887, made so decided a change in the situation and was so far from the opinion generally held that it was not easily credited. The effect, how- ever, was depressing and prices fell another J4c because of it. But the bears were not pressing their advantage, The local scalp- ing shorts had to ‘even up” for Sunday, and the * small decline was nearly all recovered before the close, Trade was at no time very large, and with the exception of some free selling supposed to be for New York account, early 1 the day, was largely local. May wheat opened at 805¢c, advanced 0 80%c, then gradually declined to 80%c¢ With some recovery before the close, which was at 0% @S0'yc. June wheat opened at 8lc, s0ld up to 81%c down to 803¢ and closed at 80%7c. The course of prices in the corn pit fol- lowed those in_wheat very closely. There was a slight advance early, but this was fol- lowed by a continually sagging market until just before the close, when there was a little recovery. The government crop report, al- though it showed nearly 100,000,000 bushels less corn in farmers’ hands than'a_year ago, was taken as a bear argument, the bear theory being that with prices so much higher, and no greater shortage than thus indicated, there was no reason for expecting higher prices, In fact, the report caused more weak- ness and a l..leutcr decline here than in wheat. Trade was not large, however, and the shorts taking their profits before the close caused some reaction. May corn opened at 52%c, sold up early to 52 @3 the gradually declined to above b23¢c and later fell with great rapidity to 523, recovered a little at the last and closed at )2‘(L5’”4c June corn omucd at 523¢c sold up early to 52%{c, declined to 52)gc and closed at that price. The speculative oat market was dull and without special feature.. Prices declined somewhat following the lead of the other grain markets. May oats opened at 31gc, sold up to nn,@mga down to 8li{c and closed at 811@315c. 'June oats opened at g:;‘@'u ¢, sold down to 813¢c and closed at @31 e, In provisions the weelk closed with a strong market. From the opening to-day the feel- ing favored the bull side, and'in some in- stances higher prices prevailed. In a word, trade, if anything, exhibited an_advancing turn, though lard and short ribs closed prac: tically unchanged as compared with night's quotations. Pork sustained an preciation of 2ige. Cash product was in ctter demand, and in aspeculative way a fair activity was witnessed, especially during the morning. Tor May, the leading’ future, ork sold at $14.10@14.233¢; lard wt $7.72}@ 75, and short ribs at § 7.80, the same month closed at §14 §7235, and short ribs at § pork was quoted at 12}¢e, March lard 5@T and March short ribs 7igc under May, wl June pork ranged at a’ premium of Bi@sc, i}"lh lard 5c, and June short ribs 7igc over ay.

In Wall streot an unsettled feeling prevailed, but the changes with few exceptions were small and mainly in favor of the bears, Reading and Lackawanna showed the most actwvity and strength, and New England the greatest weakness and decline, dropping 2 points on free selling induced by reports that the company was in bad shape and would go into areceivers hand. Grangers weresteady, s there 1s a prospect of restoration of rates March 26, The labor troubles, however, are far from being settled, and the character of advices received from the west, while quite assuring in many sections, were the reverse in others, one report being that the Atchison engineers would strike if thoy were ordered to move Burlington freight. The gossip was that the New York Central would increase its dividend A per cent at the next meeting. On the other hand it was also asserted that a heavy liquidation had recently taken place in the Vanderbilts, and that unless the market was supported in better shape than of late a dechne would follow. Friends of Lacka- ‘wanna say the road is earning at the rate of 18 per cent per annum, that the road’s re- serve fund is larger than ever, and the stock is selling 20 points lower than when the coal trade was demoralized. The bank statement was expected to show a large decrease, but agreeably surpriscd everybody by only de- oreasing §1,257,400, against §2,455,72 the pro- vious weck. Deposits decreased $2,917,900 despito the large amounts received from the treasury, Total sales were 72,627 shares, GOVERNMENTS — Government bonds were dull and steady. YESTERDAY'S QUOTATIC 1.

The strike affcets all grocers, dry goods men and agrie cultural implement dealers alike. Outside this the outlook is very good and the promise of an early spring and returning_sunshine has had an encouraging effect.

According to the Bankers Monthly, six banking institutions in this state were dis- continued during the month of February. A rumor is prevalent in commercial circles. in Chicago that a syndicate has been formed for the purpose of buying corn and bulling it to a much higher point than at present. About 75 per cent of the exports of this country during the fiscal year were agricule tural products against 25 per cent of manus factured articles including refined petroleum. Sugar bein| ntrolled by one trust and glucose byganother, a 13oston syndicate pro- poses to orfanize a sorghum trust. The next number on the programme will doubtless be a maple sugar trust.
