was again a narrow one. more SO than yes'e.
Gay. Some outside business was transacteu'
out most OF the trading was local. New hork
bought some wheat early and a few country
buying orders were also executed. some sen
ing orders were received from the contlnent

There was very little outside news received.
and operators. under the circumstances, were
disposed to wait for new developments. Caoie
advices were rather tame. but did not snow
much of any change in prices Nothing speclai
in the way of crop news was reported, though
a dispatch was received from Kentucky stating
that the wheat had turned black in some sec
tions, while other advices stated tnat tnere
had been no damage to speak OF.
Corn received little more attention than
noted for several days past, the market ruling
Qnite active at times within a lower range OF
prices. The trade was largely local, though
there was more doing on outside account The
weaker feeling was more noticeable on the near
deliveries. The weaker tone was due almost
entirely to larger receipts. The market opened
at yesterdays closing, was steady Tor tlme
until the receipts came in, when il sold on go
&c, ruled steady and closing 1sG1zc lower.
Oats were quiet and easier, fluctuations be-
ing confined TO &c range May was again
steady, but weak feeling soon developed and
prices receded 1s@1kc. This was followed by
slight reaction and IN turn by a further depres-
SION, and the market closed quiet at &c de-
cline for May but was steady for other futures.
In mess pork an unusuallysmall trade was re-
ported and there was no particular changes to
note; scarcely enough doing to establish a
market.
In lard the market exhibited a little more
strength in q general way, but the business
transacted was light. Prices ruled about 21ac
higher, and the market closed steady.
In short RIB sides very little business was
transacted. Feeling rather steady, with no
material change in prices.

Observation-Disclosures of wheat
terday. Shipments 46 cars. The demand was
very slow for cash wheat, with buyers holding
back, demanding concessions. Frices ranged
lower in sympathy with weakness in futures.
Some early sales were made at about yester-
days range, but the later sales were under.
The demand was mostly from local millers,
though some sales were noted for outside ship
ment. In general way business was very dull
