and the feeling IN the trade was a quiet
one. Still there was more looking after
stock and better prospect is predicted by
the trade, with tina home trade picking up
the better takers and fancy branks and
exports were bidding for low to good
stock and firm asking prices to prevent
business. Bran and all mill stufs in light
stocks and doing well.
Corn fairly active and feeling unsettled.
At the opening there was strong pressure
to sell, influenced by reports which pre-
dicted warmer weather, and also owning to
the fact that the frosts predicted for last
night did not occur. The market opened
unsettled and 1859 lower. but quickly
recovered and rallied 1@11Sc above inside
prices, then eased OF 15c, followed BY a
stronger feeling, and finally closed about
&c higher than yesterday. The receipts
were smaller, and market advices from
other places quoted firm feeling. On
the curb later there was quite g stifening
up and in some instances re higher was
paid.
Oats firm, and there was H@15c ad-
vance. There was good cash demand.
Local buyers and shippers both bought
quite freely; and receivers were enable to
dispose OF consignments in a satisfactory
manner. The speculative market was
also firm. The receipts during the week
have not been up to expectations, while
the shipments have been liberal. Stocks.
if not much reduced, have not at least in
creased. These facts have rather checked
the desire to sell, while at the same tune
some little demand has existed from shorts,
and for day or two the market has been
firm.
Rye firm, and there was 15@1o advance.
A good speculative demand existed, and
there was desire manifested By the shorts
to cover. No shipping demand of conse-
quence existed, but during the past few
days quite liberal quantity Of rye has
been taken for export.
Barley dull as usual. On the regular
market no business of consequence was
done. Former prices were obtainable all
round, but for several days no cOnsign-
ments have gone in store. The better
grades of sample lots were quite firm, and
sales readily effected. The market was a
little better, the effect of smaller arrivals.
Low grades, however, continue dull end IN
improved.
The trading in the aggregate was com
paratiVeIy light in the market for hog pro-
ducts. Spectators, either outside or local,
wera not inclined to do much trading, and
shippers we're favored with full orders.
Foreign adv1ces showed no material
change, and eastern markets
were comparatively steady. The re-
ceipts of product were light and shipments
Of all kinds quite large. During the early
part of the session the feeling was easy
and slightly reduced prices accepted, but
during the latter part the market was
stronger in general way and the decline
was recovered.
Only a moderate business was reported
in the market for mess pork. Speculative
trading was comparatively light, and the
shipping demand meagre. Prices were
weak at 591Oc lower early, but rallied
5910c and ruled comparatively steady to
the close.
The inquiry for lard was moderate and
offerings only fair. Trading in the aggre-
gate was smaller than usual. Prices
averaged little lower, but on the
whole range exhibited little change
from those current. Yesterday shipping in
quiry fair. Curb trading in both pork
and lard was at slightly improved values.
At the yards the market for cattle was
moderately active and as receipts were
light prices for COWS, feeders, butchers,
and fair steers ruled steady at about yes
terday's figures. There were no choice or
extra grades received, and the market was
entirely nominal. Hogs are again easier.
There was moderately active market for
light packing and lingering grades, and
prices were steady and unchanged from
yesterday, heavy packing and shipping
grades ruled weak, and decline of SO
10c was submitted to. Shippers were the
principal purchasers.
