ceipts at this point were slightly below Cd

is the prevailing opinion among receiVln
houses that there is not likely to be any IL
crease in the percentage of No. in the nea
future.
Bull news again predominated, and in fac

the bears could point was the continued hgh
outward movement from seaboard ports. A
an offset to this poor showing, however, is tn
fact that exporters have been bidding highe
prices for wheat in Western markets for tn
past two days. twenty-five thousand bushel
of No. spring was worked here to-day, an
some house took 1000 bushels OF No. hard i

the difference between the near and off futures

closed ZQssc lower than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and steady and without new
features of interest There was fair number
of orders on the market to buy on any decline,
but the limited offerings prevented more than
&c change in prices.
The mess pork market attracted little atten-

in small quantities. Prices rather favored
buyers.
very quiet feeling prevailed in the lard
market, and trading was light.
In short rib sides trading was moderate and
prices exhibited very little change.
Ihe leading futures ranged as follows.
