Dear Sir.--Thc trade is 1t sea regard
ing wheat. On one hand dynamite
plots and financial scares tend 70 UNI
settle confidence on the other, low
prices and buoyancy IN some depart
ments encourage holders. This after
noon rain is threatened. which makes
little strength. But the average trader
is undecided and conservative. Closing,
May wheat. s2sc. Corn steady. bus
lower sympathy. closing at 393c. for
May; good demand for samples Of
all grades at 80 TO 3slc.. and there 10
no reason why May should decline
much unless crowded down by bears.
Provisions steady and firm At el2.jJ
for May pork; s7.07 for May lard;
1910 for May ribs. Shipments very
large. and unless receipts Of hogs arc
larger than now promised product will
not accumulate.
An advance IN wheat means prosper
ity in all branches. and should be ar
IDENTIFY wished at least.
