going on the rampage, but near the close

demand WIS quite active and offerings
moderately large. Sales we're principally
in January.
Corn actively again characterized the
market, but trading ceutered chiefly in
May delivery i'll which future very large
business was transacted. The market was
considerably excited. Unusually large
amounts were offered when the market
reached the highest prices, still the market
was pretty well sustained for time being,
and even sold be- ond that price. Shorts
were anxious TO cover influenced in their
action by the report of rainy weather in
the west. Toe visible supply also showed
a reduction of fabcut 100000 The receipts
were larger and the shipments rather
small. Prices were advanced Mc for the
near deliveries an5 I@14c for May above
opening figures, but later reached M@1Mc
and finally closed about Sc lower for the
near futures, also &c lower for
May than closing figures on
Charge yesterday. On call the
demand was fairly active, and prices
frmer, and 10 4c higher. Trading was
principally in the May option.
In the market for oats as com pared with
yesterdays closing or outside quotations,
prices ranged about $5@15c higher. The
advance was due to toe influence exerted
by higher marko: for corn, aud The fact
that at the preseat stare of trade sell srs are
not coming forward very freely. The spec
ulative demand was fair, but The market
could not be called &ctiye, and the full ad-
vance wss not naintained All trading on
the regular market VISA in speculative
way. The sample trade, or rather the
shipping or cousumpsive trade was just
moderate aid prices were quotably steady.
On call, the m0rhoJ was rather quiet,
and prices g. trifls higher. Trading was
confined to the Nay delivery.
In Iye, the market reacted from the de-
cline of yesterday and ruled firm. Quite
little future rise has been closed out by

the speculative offerings were smaller
and the advance in other markets
affected better feeling. There was also
more demand on q speculative nature. Ar
rivals only moderate. Demand mainly
speculative. On cali rye was in fair re-
quest and prices steady. Sales we're prin-
cipally in January. IN barley trade was
dull and there was more barley on the
market than there was demand for. No.

little speculation IN that grade. In
store prices were not changed ma

little in store. Most Of the barley is Of
fered by sample because sometimes bar

spection on account of some little blemish
and By sample it sells for more than the
in store price OF the same grade. The sup
ply of sample lots largely exceeded the
demand. ConsigDments have been &C
cumulating for several days and the ordi-
nary qualities viii probably have to go
to store more than at any previous time this
season. Flour continues quiet and it has
been difficult for some time to bring
about fair sales with the home trade pick
ing up about the usual quantity of the bet
ter family and bakers brands, but ship
ping orders are light and it has been
necessary to allow shaded prices to dis
pose of any quantity.
Rye flour SLOW. Buckwheat flour dull
Bran and all millstuffs were bringing firm
prices.
In provisions a good business
was reported but the feel
ing was very unsettled, and prices
fuctuated.
The receipts of hogs were quite liberal
and prices were we'll maintained on de-
sirable grades, and this tended to strength
en- the market early in the session, more
particularly as the local and outside orders
to purchase product were sufficiently large

material advance in prices. Toward the
close the market again showed consider
able strength but weakened again and
closed dUll.
Foreign advices showed frmer feeling
in lara and quotations advanced Cd, but
pork and bacon was dull at former prices
Eastern markets were stronger in gem
eral way and prices rather favorable to
sellers. Weather is mid.
The market 70. mess pork attracted
marked attention and the volume OF busi-
ness transacted was liberal. At the open
ing the market was easy and prices log

an urgent demand gradually improved 10
