everything except May wheat. Not
enough was doing to sustain prices, which
at the opening showed a tendency to ad-
vance. Several large operators, notably
Lester & Co., who have been heavy buyers
lately, were sellers to-day, and this broke
prices. There was a partial recovery in the
latter part of the day, but all grains except
corn closed lower than they opened, while
provisions, on the contrary, scored small
advance.
In the wheat crowd quite an active spec
ulative business was transacted. The
offerings to sell were LIBERAL and markets
ruled weak and lower. The market opened
at about closing figures yesterday,
advanced ia &c, then became weak and
closed with slight fluctuations &c lower,
rallied trile and finally closed about q |
a &c lower than the closing figures
on change yesterday. The weakness was
attributed chiefly to the fine weather, |
predictions of stormy weather set forth at |
this date not being verified. Operators |
were anxious to realize and good deal of
wheat which had been bought in anticipa-
ton of higher prices, it is thought, was
closed out, and the offerings at times were
liberal. Receipts moderate. Foreign ad-
vices quoted wheat steady and weather
frosty. The afternoon trading was at the
closing board figures. Winter and spring
quiet and a shade lower, influenced by the
speculative market.
Flour shows no better. Foreign advices
as yet give no encouragement to opera
tors.
Among the corn men business was quite
active at lower prices. The receipts were
fair and the weather clear and
bright. The offerings to sell were liberal,
and good deal of corn
which had been bought in anticipation of
stormy weather was thrown on the market.
This Influenced rather free speculative of
ferings, hence the declining tendency.
The market opened steady, but weakened
under free offerings, and prices declined
with slight fuctuation a c, then rallied &c,
and finally closed about the same as on
change yesterday. The shipping demand
was moderate at a shade lower prices, No.
2 and high mixed in good demand, and
receipts dated March Z, and since, sold at
5Sl1lc, and closed firm at So &c. Receipts
dated Feb. &c to March 6, inclusive, quota
bly, 15c less, and round lots of regular
quotable the same as March. New mixed
in good request, and offerings moderate.
The May option was pretty we'll sus-
tanned. On the call board there was bet
ter inquiry, longs being numerous, and
%@4c better figures were paid. May
closed at about 6215c.
Oats ruled dull and quiet Prices reacted
from the advance of yesterday, and the de-
t cline amounted to 1S958c. Speculative
g orders, both buying and selling, were linn
tied, and trading was unusually light. The
! decline was due mainly to other markets
being lower, but there was also quite lib
eral increase in receipts. Offerings of il
store and cash oats still light and sales
limited. A few cars were sold at 42c fol-
gilt edge No. =, which was ~ lower. Sam
, pie lots were more freely offered, and were
r weaker. Trade was fair, but concessions
r were asked for. In the afternoon little
r firmer tone was manifested. Rye wai
3 again weak and lower. No shipping or
ders, and demand only for rye to hole
: against May contracts. The arrivals anC
\ offerings again exceeded the speculative
). demand; hence the depression. Othel
g markets being weaker also exerted an cas-!
:, feeling. No. 2 cash was nc lower
and only gilt edge receipts were wanted
Sales were at 6415. Rejected quiet
= Sample lots slow and easier. Future de
Iiveries were dull and easier. There wa
IS &c to 1c decline. Feeling easy and littl
d disposition shown to buy. Barley wa
dull. There was but little demand. TIL
t in store market was nominal, and the of
q ferings of sample were increased so as t
be considerably in excess of the demand
" and they also ruled lower, and they coul
not all be sold.
10 The offerings Of hog product were nc
e very large, and the inquiry not particular
ly urgent. Spectators were not incline
st to 90 much business, and shippers wer
favored with few orders. The marke
u ruled easier during the early part of tn
day, and prices were slightly reduced, br
" toward the close the feeling was steadit
ie and prices rallied again. Tradin
in the aggregate not very larg
ct Foreign advices showed a steady feelin
Id in that quarter, and lard was quoted 3
higher. Eastern markets without matters
- change. The receipts of product WEI
ed fair, and the shipments moderate.
The offerings of mess pork were fai
and the demand moderate. Prices d
ge cl1ned 5@S15c during the early part
he the day, but rallied again, and closed con
he paratively steady. Cash in moderate d
p- mand, in the way of filing some order
IN and prices steady at an advance of $751;
he and about &c higher. There was a goo
he demand for provisions in the later houl
to of the day, and on call 21zc better We
realized than at 10 o'clock, for both pol
IN and lard. Eleven thousand live hogs wei
u u received to-day, and good grades wei

n vance of so 1Oc. As high $3.50 was pa
all for gilt-edged.
