more disposition to realize. The demand
was only moderate, and prices gradually
receded during the first half of the session.

for while, then prices declined &c below
the extreme outside figures, fuctuated
slightly, and finally closed $Sc lower for
May and 58c lower for April

In the afternoon an easier feeling was gen
eral. Lower prices were accepted in some
cases. The weakness was largely due to
the tendency of wheat, although during
most of the time there were more sellers
than buyers.
BuYers'of the lower grades of corn are
still discriminating in regard to location,
and some days when there are numerous
buying orders for corn in some certain
houses the premium paid is large, varying
from 1 to 124c per bushel. The reason for
this is said to be that the quality of the
corn in some elevators is more desirable
than others. Houses which are receiving
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri corn are
preferred, this corn, it is claimed, being
dry. Hence the premium paid over other
houses.
Oats we're weak, and the demand was
moderate all round. Large receipts and
lower markets generally Influenced the
market to lower prices. Cash declined 1c,
and futures ranged 15@Mc lower. Late
in the session the feeling was strong, for
there were not many sellers at the decline
Car lots of No. 2 sold at 41l4c, but there
were not many offered, SO that trade
was light. Sample lots were quite
plenty. The usual buyers held off in view
of lower prices which caused sales to be
rather slow, and sellers had to make con-
cessions.
Rye was very dull and weak. There was
1@1lc break in prices. The arrivals
were quite liberal and the offerings ex-
ceeded the demand. Speculative demand
also light, and it was reported that some
parties long on rye had made sales. No.
cash opened at 6414c, and after the re-
ceipts were posted the market declined to
63c. Rejected sold early at sac, but later
53c was the highest bid. Sample lots were
dull and easier.
Barley was neglected and dull, with
holders of cash finding it difficult to sell,
even at lower prices, while speculation has
been neglected and nearly ifeless for a
'ong time, with offerings of cash entirely
in the sample markets and, as
all could not be sold by sample,
many cars had to be placed in store. No.
2 was not mentioned. No. sold lower.
Samples were going off slow, and at shaded
prices.
The demand for hog products was rather
light, and the offerings not very large.
The market ruled weak during the greater
portion of the day, and prices ruled lower
on all the leading articles. Speculative
demand rather light. Foreign advices
showed a stronger feeling in that quarter,
and prices were advanced 2s on pork, Sd
on lard and Cd on bacon. The Eastern
markets are without material change. The
receipts of product we're fair and ship
ments quite liberal. The inquiry for mess
pork was moderate and offerings rather
light. Prices ruled weak and declined so
10c and closed quiet. Cash in light re-
quest. The demand for lard was only fair
and the offerings quite free. Prices ruled
easy and declined 591Oc per 100 pounds.
Cash quiet On call pork was sold trife
lower, but lard held up better. The de-
mand was fair. Hogs continue to climb
right up, and for the first time in months
SIS was paid for prime porkers. Only
5000 were received and offers were gen
orally 610c better than OF Saturday.
