Free Selling Preventing an Advance
Corn Lower = Oats Firmer-

rains have now reached pretty mucn all over
the whole country, and the opening was weak
in consequence, prices declining &c below tne
closing of Saturday but there was good buy

advanced &c, ruled steady and closed ABOUT
the same as Saturday.
The large decrease in the visible supply had
a tendency to create irmness among operators

helped to sustain the market There was some
demand also for cash wheat here and sale Oh

speculative market opened 1sg1zc lower than
the closing Saturday but soon ruled hrmer,
advancing Zc, reacted 1sc, became steady and
closed shade lower than Saturday. There ap-
peared to be a good many orders for July

steadiness, and the decline in prices was re
Only fair trade was reported in lard, and

lower. Later the market was stronger and the
decline in prices was regained.
Trading was somewhat limited In snort LIDS IDS
