yesterdays closing prices. Cables were in
active and steady and closing ones I'M
changed. with more disposition to buy
Clearances from the seaboard for the week
were 100, 700 bu wheat, $4,000 Blu corn and
10000 pkgs flour. The feature of the trade
seemed to be that considerable wheat was
offered for May OH outside orders early i'll the
day, and much of it was picked up by scat
tering operators Subsequently there was
moderate advance, and the early buyers. hay
ing profit, were selling against II considera-
BILE wheat, which tended to weaken prices
again with rather free trading. June was
nominal at l5@lc above May, with July
nominal at about &c above May. First trad
ing i'll May was at 77Ac, with decline to
Wise, and a later advance TO 7734@77L9c.

hours were 212 cars, with shipments thirty
nine cars Duluth received thirty-one cars
The market for spot wheat was in better
form, and home millers were buying more
freely. A few buyers for outside account
were in the market, but their purchases
were not large. A few local milling concerns
took the greater part of the offerings and
that with firmer general markets was the
cause of the improvement. Prices we're
ABOUT the same as they were the day before,
but more of the offerings were taken earlier
in the session.
