deliveries, with the volume of business quite
large. The market opened 1s0lsc under the
closing prices of yesterday, was easy, and de-
clned in all M015c, ruled steady, and closed

SLOW but steady, most of the business being in
the way OF evening up trades for May. Near

offerings were readily absorbed. Trading was
moderately active in pork during the early part
OF the day, and the feeling was stronger. Prices
were advanced 714610c, more particularly for
May, and the market closed steady Lard was
