and the closing was about 1sG1<c higher thar
yesterday. Foreign markets were frmer.
A lot of 81, 900 bushels of No. spring is being
loaded here for direct export, being the bal
ance of a lot of 75, 900 bushels but few weeks
ago. That the wheat proved satisfactory to the
buyers on the other side would be inferred
from the advices received stating that IL more
of the same kind of wheat could be bought al
the same price to 90 ahead and buy. The wheat
cost Csc.
"A good trade was reported in corn and the
feeling was stronger, higher prices being the
rule on all futures. The strength was due to 9
great extent to the smaller receipts both here
and in the Southwest. The principal feature
of the day was the selling of about 500 900 bush
els May at Biz by local operator. which was
readily absorbed by local shorts. A very firm
undertone prevailed, and considerable quaint
ties were purchased for country account
Trading was largely in May, though other fut-
ures received more than ordinary attention
The market opened a shade above the closing
of yesterday, was firm, advanced LG5sc, ruled
steady and closed K@ssc higher than yester-
day.
Oats were stronger and 1s@He higher. The
January and February options showed the
most strength, due chiefly to the small offerings
and moderate receipts. There was trading IN
May, but the demand was not of sufficient mag.
nitude to cause a material advance. A promi-
nenC local OD6raTOT SOFA ABOUT QuSQGlS,
and supplied the wants Of buyers.
Only a moderate trade was reported in mess
pork. The feeling was firm and prices were
advanced 25930c, more particularly on the de.
ferred deliveries, and were fairly well supported
to the close
Trading in lard was limited, and there were
no material changes. Prices ruled 214Q5c
higher.
In short ribs there was only a fair business
transacted. Prices ruled fully 5@l0c higher,
and the market closed steady.
