You can define your chart type in your Series variable.

/*Horizontal bars*/
series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Bar;

/*Vertical columns*/
series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Column;

So your code could look like this:

private void LoadChartData(DataTable initialDataSource)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < initialDataSource.Columns.Count; i++)
    {
        Series series = new Series();
        /*make sure every series is of the same chart type*/
        foreach (Series series in chart.Series)
        {
            series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Bar;
        }
        foreach (DataRow dr in initialDataSource.Rows)
        {
            int y = (int)dr[i];
            series.Points.AddXY(dr["Closing_Month"].ToString(), y);
        }
        Chart1.Series.Add(series);
    }
}

Thank you @Serv.But i have tried that already but its throwing error like cannot include multiple chartypes at the same time – Priya Jul 01 '15 at 06:26
Chart Area Axes - The chart area contains incompatible chart types. For example, bar charts and column charts cannot exist in the same chart area. this is the error throwed – Priya Jul 01 '15 at 06:28
This means you have different SeriesChartTypes defined in your chart. I have edited my answer. see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23244745/chart-area-axes-the-chart-area-contains-incompatible-chart-types – Marco Jul 01 '15 at 06:30
