MARKETS BY WIRE.
Wheat More Active md Higher-Oats Move
Up and Corn Down-Bullish Crop
Reports-A Slight Rally In

olueLs IeCelNeu carried the market ouI VI 'he
control of the local operators. Operators how
ever, generally felt bullIsh, and there was nc
desire under the present condition to short the
market. Those who sold quickly covered Wnen
the market turned against them. The firmness
and tone OF the market induced some covering.
The market opened 14@5sc higher than satur'
days closing, and with only slight fuctuatlons
advanced &c more for May and llsc Tor July,
eased off some and closed about 1c higher 1or
May and l1sc higher for July than the closing
figures Saturday.
Aside from the natural condition OF the mar.
ket the firmness and advance OF to-day was
assisted some by the unfavorable tenor Oh crop
reports received. many of whlch were accom-
panied with buying orders. From points IN
Indiana advices were received claiming not
more than half a crop. The Illinois report was
unfavorable, and advices from ST. Louis tell OF
damage to the winter wheat.
Corn-There was a very good business trans
acted, the market most of the session ruiine
fairly active. within M@1ac range. Inc Ieenng
prevailing was nervous and unsettled. tnougn
the underrone appeared to be firm, the market
sympathizing with wheat some. The unfavor-
able weather also had stimulating effect on
values. The speculative market opened nrm
at Saturdays closing prices, and under Drlsk
demand advanced L@Hc, reacted N93sc, ruled
easy and closed shade lower than saturday:
Oats were active, stronger and higher. The
feature of the trading was the strength ana ad-
vance in July which sold up sc from opening
figures. The strength was attributable to the
advance in wheat and corn, the sharp demand
from shorts and the report of a good many buY-
ing orders. Offerings were not large except at
the advance and caused fair recessio1s. but
last sales were at 1l@34c above the last sales on
Saturday.
Mess Pork-Only moderate trade was re-
ported and the feeling was stronger. A proml-
nent local operator purchased moderately,
while the offerings were rather light. Prices
were advanced 5@715c on the whole range: At
nation to sell, but the demand was light, and
prices settled back 219@5c and closed compare
lively steady. There very little trading
during the latter part of the session.
Lard-A very quiet feeling prevailed and
trading was limited. Prices were a little more
favorable to sellers, but outside figures were
barely supported to the close.
Short Rib Side-A fairly active trade was re-
with trading mainly in contracts for May and
July.
