prices being kept within range OF e, and
finally closed for the day at the same figures

upon the market, but the cables were nrm,
and the strength displayed in provisions
served to sustain values. and tended to make
q moderate firm market at the close Inc
light receipts of corn, and good shipping
demand allied with the strength displayed by
pork, made very firm market for corn, May
delivery advancing to 4314c for May, with
some sales at 4314@435sc and closed for the
day at 4S004311Sc, or 5000 higher than on
Friday. Oats ruled steady and shade

usually light receipts of hogs caused the pork
market to open at 15c per barrel higher, at
Sl2.lO for May delivery, and then advanced
TO S12 3215. closing for the day at OUTSIDE
figures. Lard advanced 11a0lOc per IOO IDS,
