The market opened at about the closing figures
of yesterday. eased off &c and later advanced
nc, the market closing quiet and nc higher
than yesterday. July sold at 1349l7sc discount
below May prices.
Cable advices were again of an unfavorable
character to holders, but the dullness abroad
did not have any effect upon the market here
except in general way. which was governed
mainly by home influences. Crop advices COLI
tinue to come in bad, and operators are evi
IDENTIFY placing more reliance upon various re-
ports received. AT least they were little more
timid about selling
That there has been damage done by the
severe freezing weather some few weeks ago
there is no doubt, but to what extent the plant
has been damaged or winter killed is yet a
question. There was also some report of new
business at the seaboard which acted as a
stimulant to the market and helped to carry
prices to the top notch.
Corn-A moderate business was reported
within nc range, and the feeling prevailing
was. on the whole steady. The steady tone was
due largely to the threatening weather and
storm in Kansas. Operations were in the main
local. and q prominent trader who bought May
yesterday at 1890 sold today at 293l@297Sc. The
speculative market opened at yesterdays clos
ing prices, was very steady, advancing &c,
ruled firm, and closed H@Lc better than yes
terdaf.
Oats were traded in fairly and weaker feel
ing existed in May at the start, sales being at a
slight decline from yesterdays close. TIE de-
mand from leading operators was good and
offerings not being especially large stronger
feeling set in and the market advanced sc,
which was fairly maintained until the close.
PorK-QuIte good business was transacted
and the market ruled comparatively steady.
Opening sales were made at 213@l5c advance,
but later III the day the feeling was easy and
the improvement was lost.
Lard-Only fair business was transacted
and the feeling was steadier. Toward the close
the feeling was easier. and the market closed
at about medium figures.

ness reported. Prices ruled comparatively
steady, and the market closed quiet.
