stronger, prices advancing &c, but the tirmness
was only temporary, for the feeling again be-
came easier and market closed about &c lower
than yesterday.
Operators had some hopes of realizing better
prices to-day on the strength Of the reports yes
| terday OF larger export statement, but the
clearances did not show up, and this Influenced
some selling. The market the last is minutes
of the session ruled very weak, due to pressure
to sell, and it was claimed, the closing out Of a
line Of long wheat
Corn was traded in to a moderate extent
| within sc range and the feeling early was a
| little hrmer, but later became weaker. The
market opened a shade under the closing prices
OF yesterday, was frm, and advanced h9Ac
| upon covering by local shorts, who were little
| nervous owing to the limited offerings. Some
outside buying orders we're on rhe market for
| May and July, which also had stimulating
| influence. At outside prices, however, oner-
ings became longer, a prominent local trader
| selling moderately and local operators did like
wise. At the close of the session prices were
| Nc lower than yesterdays close.
Oats were active, but unsettled, and prices
| ranged lower. The market opened steady, and
| advanced nc for May. The increased offerings
| produced a weak feeling and prices declined
! k@Xc. The other deliveries were also affected
ana prices receded A@ssc, closing st that lower
than yesterday.

| was hrmer, and a moderate business was trans
acted though nothing of consequence was
done in deliveries this side of May. Seller
