Il higher for July than the closing figures
on Change yesterday. No. was in good
demand and closed at about 5411ac, short
receipts sold at 53A@54c. Rejected was in
moderate request. In the afternoon there
was much more activity than on the board,
100000 bushels finding purchase on call
at figures a q g C better than those cur
rent at o'clock. May sold to the amount
$4,000 bushels at l551a aG55A.
Oats were quite dull. The cash market
was quiet. few cars of No. 2 were sold
early at Al &c, but after this Ale was about
all that could be obtained. Offerings on
the regular market were light. Sample
lots also were easier. The supply was fully
adequate to the demand, and buyers dis
played more or less indifference about
taking hold, and the market favored them
rather than sellers. The speculative market
was moderately ssactive, and fair share ofthe
business done wal in the way of changing
May contracts to June. The latter delivery
was about 55s % &c premium. Early in the
session on accontof corn going up the mark
ct exhibited some strength and advanced
shade over yesterdays closing. A weaker
feeling followed. May ranged &c lower,
June sc, July &c below yesterdays clos
ing. There was finally a slight reaction
from the inside, but the market remained
somewhat dull. A better tone was gained
during the late hours of the day, but prices
gainedlittle.
Rye was doing somewhat better to- day,
selling at slight advance for all futures,
with fewer sellers and more buyers. May
closed at 6215c.
Bailey was trife steadier than yester-
day. The transactions were small. but there
was more looking about and a disposition
to advance rates was shown. Cash was
held trife higher.
The demand for hog products was active
on speculative account early, and prices
were advanced materially on all the lead
ing articles. The offerings, however, were
rather free, and during the middle of the
session the market weakened and the ap-
probation in prices was lost. Shipping
demand rather light. Foreign advices
showed stronger feeling in that quarter,
and lard and bacon were quoted &c higher.
The Eastern markets were irmer and prices
favorable to sellers. The receipts of pro-
duct were fair, and the shipments were
moderate.
Pork was active and irregular, opening
strong and advancing, selling zoe per bar
rel above yesterdays closing figures on
change, then selling back 80 cents,
again advanced and closed at an advance
on yesterday of 5@71ac per barrel. The
bulk of trading was at higher prices. Cash
dull at about May prices, and April was
nominal at fraction under the May op-
ton. On the call about 2115c better than
figures current at o'clock was asked and
generally conceded.
Lard was active on speculative account,
and early in the session the feeling was
strong, the full outside prices of yesterday
being reached, but reacted some and closed
shade under yesterday. Cash and April
nearly the same as the May option. Values
were well maintained during the after
noon.
The market for live hogs, though rather
| active, was weak to-day, and concessions
of 5910c were made by holders. The ar.
rivals aggregated IL 900 animals.
1t is thought more than probable that
upon the completion and occupancy OF
the new board of trade building, the pres
ent call board will become merged into the
regular call board to be instituted in that
portion of the new building set apart by
the board of trade for that purpose. Mr.
Heumberry, secretary of the call board
stated to-day that that organization was
instituted outside of the board of trade
because under the latter's rules the method
sales by call was not pro vided for. Thu
new board of trade building was to have
call room, and if it could guarantee that
the call would be continuous, it was quit
probable that his organization would con
solidate with the regular board. Nothing
more definite could be stated now. Al
election for new board of Director
would take place this week. The organiza
tion had accomplished what it sought, viz
To demonstrate the practical benefit o
having calls each day. Any report tha
the board was about to build was entirel,
groundless. If it decided finally to main
tain separate organization it could OBJ
tain quarters at any time within thre
months before the board of trade opene
in the new structure.
