in sympathy with wheat On fair buying
it rallied to 4615c and closed strong at 46A &c.
A close observer said: 1.-THE bears are ap-
parently awaiting the expected
LARGE RECEIPTS
and are unwilling to increase their short
lines, and the bulls are satisfied with the
present price, which enables them to work
off protitably all the cash corn they can
take" Prime said that corn needed rain
i'll many states and for the lack of it, as
well as from late planting, the general
average was put at So per cent, against 80
per cent last year at this time. s'The visi-
BILE" tomorrow is expected to show pretty
good increase in corn, but from some cause
or causes the market seems very lifeless
and inconsequential. The close was firm at
about Saturdays prices, at Al &c June, 4614c
July, 461sc August, acc September.
Oats were quiet but firm, and closed at
the outside figures of the day, which were
duplicates of those current forty-eight hours
ago. The receipts were 235 carloads,
against 231 carloads on Saturday. July
ranged at 32$s to 33c, and closed at the
outside. August closed at 2T2s to 2Sc and
September at 27c.
PROVISIONS.
There was quite picking up in the pro-
vision trade, which has been fearfully and
wonderfully dull in a speculative way, of
late, that still continues to have little life,
but there was an active trade in cash stuff.
A few shorts bought in a lot, on reports
that the receipts tomorrow would be large.
Frank Clifton bought a large amount OF
lard. The market opened easier, and all
the produce sold down early, but the de-
cline was almost wholly recovered before
the close Of the morning session. Receipts
of hogs were again liberal, which induced
free offerings during the first hour. but
later there was no pressure to sell, and
closing transactions at l o'clock were at
figures almost identical with those ruling at
same time Saturday. This afternoon there
was increased demand from short Sellers
and the market slightly improved, with
closing prices for all the products shade
higher than those of the opening. Closing
prices for the July and August product
were: Pork, so. 3O@10.371s; lard, $6.621a
@6.70; short ribs, SIS. 35@5.45.
