the death of Emperor Frederick, and the
excitement over the crop situation, to-
gether With the buying craze which comes
with any successful bulge, caused prices to
jump at one time nearly &c over the out
side price of Monday. There was the same
excitement in corn as in wheat; at any
other time the same action in corn would
he remarkable. May opened at 56sc. or &c
over last night; sold down to 56ba56fc
and then up 10 SIC, from which realizing
sales caused decline to 56sa56{c at the
close. Oats showed downward tendency
from the opening until wheat and corn
showed so much strength, when prices raj
lied and advanced &c over last night.
