side trading especially was small, there not be-
ing enough action in the market to stimulate
outside business. A prominent local trader,
however, was credited with being large
buyer, and to these purchases was the strength
of to-day largely credited. May advanced lc,
and closed Nc higher than yesterday. July
opened Nc lower. and advanced 1c, declined
&c, and closed 1sc higher than yesterday.

tract grade. 1t was also rumored that 100000
bushels more will soon clear for Canada.
