improved some, ruling quite strong, and ad
vanced TG1c, and closed steady and about ~
higher for December and &c higher for MAJ
than yesterday.
European advices were indicative of a trihC
steadier feeling. Some export inquiry existed
and New York reported three boatloads taken
and freight room engaged for six loads to go tc
Glasgow. The receipts in the Northwest con
tinue large. Cloudy weather was reported
pretty much all over the country, and rain IN
some sections. Detroit wired that the deliV
cries Of wheat in the winter wheat belt were
very light There was no decided action TO the
market until very late in the session, when
| prices were advanced to outside range.
Corn-Another day of activity was witnessed
in this market, with the feeling generally quite
strong, though at times a little unsettled. A
| still further advance was recorded on the near
| figures, though extreme prices we're not main
tained. The influences on the market were
| much the same as yesterday, namely, the small
! receipts, active shipping demand and unsettled
weather, which had a tendency to make shorts
on the near deliveries rather nervous. The

tion followed the early advance, due to free
selling of May by several large local operators,

/ OAlS-An active business was Lr2nSaCIeQ anu
| higher range of prices recorded but outside
! figures were not maintained. The feeling most
/ OF the session was firm, due to continued wet
and cloudy weather and sharp decline in ar
rivals. A good miscellaneous demand existed,
and shorts were the chief buyers. Offerings
were free at an advance Of nc over yesterdays 8
closing prices for May, and caused a recession
Of sc, but later the market again became firm
er ana prices rallied Lc.
Mess pork-Rather more life was manifested
in this market and speculative trading was
quite active, though almost exclusively in No
vember and January deliveries. Free offerings
early encouraged little buying from the short
interest, and prices were advanced to outside
figures. At the improvement there was some
desire TO realize, which caused a decidedly
weaker feeling especially for January delivery,
and prices receded again. Trading in October
delivery was moderate-the buying being
credited 20 the long interest-prices ruling
and closing weak.
Lard-The market attracted very little at
tention, and trading was comparatively light.
Prices ruled 21f@5c lower on the deferred de-
liveries, while October ruled strong at 65El70c
advance
Short ribs-Only limited trade was reported.
October delivery ruled steady, while November
and January deliveries were easier.
