CHIcAGo-In spite OF the fact that it was the
last bushes day of the month the markets had
holiday look. There was plenty Of bullish
news afoat regarding wheat, but the bearisn
items were few. The strongest bullish factor
was the decrease of $4,000 bushels in the visi-
BILE supply.
July wheat opened at 7ss4c, sold at 79c and
1880 early, frmed up to 7Sss07s7zc when the
big decrease in visible was known and then 1t
reacted to 7g1zc on sales by local operator
and closed at 793kc- May wheat opened at Sic
sold 81zsc and became very dull around the
latter price. June opened at 81szc, sold at
S2ISc and finally sled down closing at S21sc.
There was good trade in corn. Most Of it
was changing from one future to another. The
shippers were taking the May and selling July
May opened at 3S11c, sold at $3.50, and later on
a decrease of 1862 600 bushels in the visible
supply improved to 34c. closing at SSzSc.
Receipts of oats were large. May opened
strong at 2lss0213zc and frmed up to 221sc.
The provision market opened with a raid on
prices. The covering for May then caused
good rally which was encouraged by those who
wish ed to work values higher so as TO put
for July and September. The covering was IN
ibis, lard and pork. The carriers relieved the
small longs of the stuff they did not want to
take and pay for.
