Oats were slow and prices were averaging
below yesterday, owing to heavier offerings
of cash, and quite a desire to realize off
the stock in store, dull tone was notice
able for. the day. No. cash was offered
at one time at4O5s and was hardly over
4OA later for regular, w'.iie fresh was
about 1ac per bushel better. Samples
were much more plenty and lower prices
had to be accetped to sell and even then
there was more than needed to fill the
orders in. The afternoon feeling
was even weaker. A decline of 36@Ac
was suffered in the speculative market,
being most severe for May delivery.
Rye was quiet and rather easy. Buying
orders were limited and prices had to be
shaded.
Barley was dull and inactive, but with
little change in values. There was some
call for the lower grades of cash, but no
speculative business whatever.
The offerings of hog products were quite
liberal and the demand active. Early in
the day the feeling was weak, and prices
declined materially on all the leading
articles, but later in the day the market
was stronger and prices rallied again and
closed with considerable steadiness.
Speculative trading fairly active through
out the day, and shipping demand moder-
ate. Foreign advices showed reduction
of Cd in lard, but other articles were un-
changed, and the eastern markets were
comparatively steady. The receipts of
product were few and the shipments
moderate.
Pork was moderately active but irregu-
lar. Early sales were made at prices 2O6
25c per barrel lower than those current at
close on change yesterday, but reacted
2712c and closed at a small advance on
Wednesday. Early offerings were free,
but the lower prices developed in improved
demand and prices advanced. Cash about
same as May and April nearly nominal
On call pork was in good request, frmer
and higher, May closing the day 1Oc, June
25c, and July 15c better than the last sales
on call yesterday.
In lard very fair business was trans
acted, but early the market was weak, sales
making at 1870 per 100 pounds below the
figures current at the close ca SIiange yes
terday, but reacted and closed at an ad-
vance OF only 21ac per 100 pounds. Cash
and April about the same as the May op-
tion. Prices were steady during the after
noon. The gain, although small when
compared with yesterdays closing quota
tions on the board, amounts to 715@121sc,
when compared with the figures current on
call yesterday.
The receipts of hogs to-day, $4,000, were
the largest for some time past. This mar
ket was dull, weak and so 1Oc lower.
