STURDY STOCKS.

A Light Business and Few Price Changes
Scraping Bottom.
Active stocks yesterday were Philadelphia
Gas and Luster. Total sales were ll5 shares.
There was less bidding than usual, indicating
less confidence IN lower prices. While there
was NO particular feeling or sentiment either
way. stronger uudertone could be seen crop
ping out here and there. 1t is safe to say the
bottom is being scraped by most of the special
ties
As COMPARED with closing prices of the pre-
vious day, Philadelphia Gas was about the only
thing that showed improvement. Owing to
intrinsic merit it is hard matter to keep it
down. Central Traction was a shade weaker.
but this class of securities is so persistently
ignored that Quotations on them count for
little. The resi- of the list stood at about where
it left off the day before.

CHIcAGo-Wbeat-A weaker feeling was
developed to-day and while good business was
transacted in the aggregate. trading fell some
what short of yesterday. The opening was
about L@Hc lower than yesterdays closing.
but was Immediately followed by good buying
and an advance of A@1c. But the advance
brought out free offerings, under which prices
eased of l@l1sc, then recovered some and
closed about 1s01<c lower than yesterday,
The early weakness was attributed to the cas-
ier tone of cable advices. There was rumor
that weekly paper had estimated the crop OF
wheat at much below other estimates, and this
helped to advance prices, but the paper alluded
to denied having made anv recent figures, and
then the market settled back again.. The later
weakness was due TO rather free selling.
Corn was quite active and rather unsettled,
price changes being within lc range. Inc
market opened with free selling by longs at NQ
1Sc decline. after which the market sold on an
other lc, when a sensational report OF local
weekly came on the market making the crop
less than 1300 100000 bushels in IL states. and
the market responded to the free buying which
followed and prices advanced 1c, when longs
again unloaded and a decline OF lc was re-
corded, when the market ruled steady and
closed with a loss of N@Hc- .,--
O1Vs were IdlTly ACTIVE uut uusebticus anu
prices ranged lower, with frequent fluctuations
within very narro.F range. The early weak
ness in wheat and corn had depressing effect,
ami first sales for May were al Mc decline. and
receded Nc more on good selling by large
local operator. The decline was checked by
good general buying, and prices advanced &c,
but receded &c after the demand had been sat
isfied. The market all through the session was
nervous and final sales were at net decline OF
HG3zc.
Mess Pork-Trsding was quite active; open
ing sales were at 215@oe decline but prices
were gradually advanced 1715Q20c, but receded
again 1715G2Oc. Toward the close prices rallied
I71SQ20c. and the market closed steady.
Lard-A comparative light trade was re-
ported. Prices ruled 2]S@5c lower, and the
market closed steady at outside figures.
Short Rib Sides-Trading was moderately
active. Opening sales were made at 5@713c de-

to advance prices 21S@5. Later a weaker feel

Lumber.

Building lumber continues active. but prices
are unchanged. Hard woods are very firm,
particularly cherry and quartered oak. Lum-

the faith of heavy fall trade. and from pres

grounded.
