grade was chiefly wanted on contracts for |
the years delivery, but the inquiry not be-
ing urgent, the market showed little ami
nation, but considerable firmness, prices
advancing 1ac during the week. A frac-
ton of the advance was lost before the
and there was no great urgency to buy.
The frmness was due chiefly to the fact
that the inspection was poor, only about
25 per cent. of the current
receipts being dry enough to grade No.
2, and toward the change of the week it
began to be felt that if this continued
throughout the month there might be diff
fculty in getting enough corn to deliver
on your contracts. The. speculation in the
larger future has developed some during
the week, and the demand has led to some
improvement in prices. The receipts dur
ing the week exceed the shipments by over
one million bushels.
Oats are scarce. The few cars of No. 2
on market to-day brought 371sc., or the
same as Saturday, and there was fair de-
mand. No rejected offered; ; salable at
about $3.50. Sample lots were i'll good
demand for all good grades, but there
were some lots of common mixed which
ruled slow. On call the demand was better
iand prices a good 1sc higher, with a
stronger and better feeling.
During the week under review the mar
1et has been active, and values were show
ing a substantial improvement, with
heavy line out for the year helping to bet
ter prices for cash, while the active and
stronger corn market was giving better
tone to the whole trade aud more business.
The offerings of cash were liberal, but
with the outgo lighter and at the high
prices in store good proportion of the
cars inspecting No. ? was going IN store,
while the rejected and No. 3 white were
doing the best on track. No.

Monday to 375sc early in
the Gay on Saturday, closing at SIC
Samples went out only fairly at the high
asking prices, while the advance in freights
at the first of the month made difference
IN the outgc.
Barley to-day was rather neglected. A
few cars of No. 9 were sold at SOC. This
was little better than former quotation;
still nothing was done that would cut any
figures. No. 3 remains abont sic and
nominal. Sample lots were in ample supply
but only a very limited demand existed,
and holders had slow dragging market
with prices easy.
Rye was steady with enough local de-
mand to absorb the cash offerings, but
aside from that there was no trade.
An increased speculative demand was
noticeable to-day for hog products. and
offerings we're liberal. The receipts of
hogs continue liberal owing to the reduced
freights The three railroads cutting rates
brought in 60 per cent. of the arrivals last
week, and prices ruled lower, which had
the effect to reduce the prices Of product,
especially during the early part of the ses-
sion. The shipping demand was fair and
lower prices were recorded. Foreign ad
vices indicated an easer feeling in thai
quarter. Eastern markets were reported
