Prices Score slight Advance
Corn Opens strong, but Weak
ers-Pork Firm.
EXTRAORDINARILY was good specu-
lative trading to-day. but feeling of nervous
uncertainty pervaded tho market all day. The
opening was about A@11c lower than yester-
days closing, held firm and advanced NGssc,
then weak spell set in, caused doubt by
the rumor of another failure at Boston-which
was afterward denied-and prices declined II
@l3sc. From this there was an irregular ad-
vance of l246p2c, eased off some and closed
about &c higher for December 15sc higher for
May than closing figures yesterday. There
were frequent fluctuations within the estab-
lished range. The improvement was perhaps
attributable as much to local speculation as
to any outside news.
Corn-There was good trade. The opening
was strong and prices were advanced &c. A
decline of &c followed. The Price Cur enps
statement that the corn hadn't been injured by
the late frost, but was still immature and light
frosts would help the maturing process brought
about good rally, and the market closed
with slight gain.
Oats were traded in moderately for May. but
other deliveries we're neglected. Free selling
at the start and the weakness in wheat and
corn caused a decline of sc. After the selling
subsided firmer feeling developed and prices
advanced ssQ13c, and the market closed steady
at about ort3Ide figures.
Mess fork-TradIng was only moderate.
Prices ruled 7&@l0c lower, and the market
closed rather firm at about outside figures.
Lard-Only moderate business was trans
acted. At the opening the feeling was rather
firm, but after a few orders were provided for
at outside figures prices receded 214G5c. and
closed rather firm at medium figures
Short Ribs-SOme interest was manifested In
the market. A few orders were on the market
early. and some transactions were made at
slightly improved prices. Later, prices receded
21195c. Near the close prices rallied to
medium figures and closed steady.
