Dear Sir.-Wheat closes steady at s3c.
for May. \ good deal of pounding was
done. but on the whole we call il firm
market, with good prospects of doing
better. Corn steady and dull at 39gc.
for May. with larger receipts than usual,
but good demand for all grades at 81 To
3sc.. according to quality. II is only
question of time when il will do bet
ter. Oats. 30lc. for May. Provisions
strong. with rather small stock consid-
ering the packing hogs which have been
cut. closing at sl2.57 for May pork,
27.l2 for lard. and sG.4j for ribs. May
lard appears to us a. cheap a. anything
on the list, and should be bought on the
weak spots. McDERMfD q Go.
