CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmoaao, March 27.—[Special Telogram to the Bee.]—The position of the local trad- ers in reference to the wheat market seemed 1o be largely responsible for the fluctuations in that grain, In view of the bad crov re- ports there were some local shorts quite anx- fous to cover at the opening and there were somo buying orders from the winter wheat country. The result wasa higher opening and an advance of !c. At the top, however, Ream was a liberal seller, the country orders were filled, and & good number of local traders found themselves on the other side and willing to let go. There was no sudden drop, but the tendency was constantly down- ward, and prices gradually sagged (e from the highest point reached. Here some wheat ‘was wanted and a reaction followed. News was generally bullish. Reports of crop damage are increasing in number and grav- ity, May wheat opened at 774c, advanced to 7780, with but few transactions at that price, then slowly declined without any considerable reaction until 76}gc was just touched, when there was an improve- ment to 78¢c, and the 1 o'clock close was 47%@77){c. June wheat opened at 7Se, sold up to BE@T8Kc, down to TIH@7I74c, and closed at 1 o'clock at 775(c. The corn deal was again the most, interest- ing and exciting on the floor. The pit was full of traders throughout the session, and transactions were large, There is talk of manipulation in May corn, but the shorts seem to put little faith in it, although the possibility of the market cornering itself, with the comparatively small amount of corn of contract grade in store here, and scarcely any coming in, is cnough to make them nervous occasionally, and then they bid prices up at a lively rate, The fact that there were but two cars of contract grade in to-day’s receipts was probably the strongest bull influence at the opening this morning, and the shorts put the price up e from last night's close very rapidly. Of course when the demands of the shorts were satisfled, the buyiffg ceased, and the decline was almost as rapid as the advance had been, and its ox- tent was greater, May corn opéned at 5%, Which was Mo higher than Iast night's closo, and after selling early down to 51%c, ad- vanced to 52%c, then declined to 51'ge, ad- 'llm:edwh"‘u' then declined to 5[,{ ad- vanced to 5%%c, and closed at blig@sle. June corn opened at 51%c, sold up to 52, down to 513gc, und closed at 513¢oat 1 o’clocic. There was aciive speculuivo trading in oats, and fluctuations were “vide for that market. They followed in a general way the course of prices in the corn market. May oats opened at 81igc, which was i{c higher than ~yesterday's close, sold up ‘to 31gc, down 1o 80%/@30%e, and closed at 1 o'cloc at 3lc. June oats 0{' med at 311jc, sold at 813c and 80%/c, and closed at 10" clo(' at 3lc. July oats ranged from 5lc to 30%c, and closed at the last named price. August oats s0ld at 271¢@2714c, closing at 274, c bid. The provision trade was stronger. Traders showed no inclination to continue their late bammering of Rmk and with a good short demand, coupled with the improvement wit- nessed in grain, the bull side was regarded with increased favor. In the different lines of product higher ‘TILCI were the rule, and as compared with last night's final quota- tions, the 1 o'clock closings showed an ad- vance of 10c in pork, 5c in lard and 2}gc in short ribs.

Cnicaao, March 27.—[Special Telegram to the BEe.]—Carrie—The light run to-day and the falling off of about 7,000 in the sup- ply as compared with this time last week, had the effect of getting buyers out early, made trade active and pushed up prices a noteh or two, making an advance of 25¢ for the week 8o far. All useful and good cattle were sold early, the market closing steady.

New York, March 27.—[Special Telegram to the Bie.]—Stocks-—The declaration of 13¢ per cent quarterly dividend by the Mis- souri Pacific directors late yesterday, al- though a reduction of & per cent, was what a majority of the operators had expected, hence it cut but a little figure in the market. Jondon had moderate buying orders, and who conversed with Gould talked wery bullish on Missouri Pacific and predicted high prices. Thew predictions were partly true, as prices were advanced 1% per cent, but a recession of 3¢ per cent followed. The rest of the list, except Lackawana ana West- eru Union was weak. - Reading and Grangers came in for a large share of atiention. The sales of Reading during the moruing consti- tuted almost one-third of the eutire business. ‘The stock came out in blocks, the pools feed- ing the market. 'Long stock also came out from weak holders. There was a moderate supply early, but the gains were only tempo- rary, and were followed by a sharp decline Extending to 134 per ceut. The failure of T, E. Trowbrdge, although at first supposed to be small, proved larger than expected, and the selling of his securitiss under the rule ac- celerated the downward movement. 1t was also reported that $300,000 In gold had been ordered shipped to Europe. This created the idea that money would become tighter and selling increased. The close was on a decid- edly irregular market, Lackawanna, Mis- souri Pacifie, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and New England being fractionally higher, but tho rest of the active list lower the losses extending to 15¢ per cent, Reading heading the list. The severe break in the latter is due to the falling off in the company’s fbusiness and a desire on the part of holders who have sus- tained the price by main strength to get out. Chicago houses are havinga better trade, but it was cniefly in the way of taking profits and selling short, there being very little in- vestment buyers. Total sales were 280,000 shares, against 208,470 yestorday.
