than yesterday, ruled easier and declined zse
&c. touching soc for May, and after hat rule'
a shade above, closing about hs@Zc higher thar
yesterday.
Local receipts were 81 cars and withdrawal
from store 45,022 bushels, of which S3y3OO bush
els was No. 2 red. this being some more OF tn
wheat contracted to be loaded into vessels u
await opening of navigation. The marke
strengthened a little toward the close.
Corn-But little interest was manifested II
this market, the trade being Light and nuc1ua
tons exceedingly narrow. The feeling preVah
ing was steady and prices showed put htu'
change compared with yesterday, closing quota
tions being about the same. Receipts were con
sIderably short of expectations, there peinl
but 263 cars. of which IS cars were billed
through and SO cars graded contract ESTIMATES
for tomorrow are smaller, as usual, on 1ues
day, being placed at las cars. The cash markel
was quiet, offerings light and prices steady anc
without special change. There was little II
any doing in lower grades.
Oats-The increased interest conferred In the
specula tive market alluded to yesterday proved
to be of brief duration, for to-day the market
again ruled quiet. Few operators gave the
market attention. which was suggestive OF q
small run of orders. Notwithstanding the
Quietness which prevailed and the guinness IN
surrounding markets, the feeling was tolerably
steady. Value were not subject to huctua.
lions of any importance, and the recent small
improvement in near futures was maintained.
Cash oats on the regular market were exceed
ingly quiet, almost nominal in fact. due to an alb
sence of offerings. No. 2 oats, cash, were
quotable at 201Sc, probably salable at that, and
No. 3 white to 90 to store, special houses, usu'
ally sold at 2lH622c, outside for choice.
An active trade was reported in the market
for hog products, still the volume was not as
large as that reported yesterday. The receipts
of hogs were largely in excess OF all estimates
accompanied with a decline in prices OF fully
10c, and this encouraged local operators to en-
large their line of shorts to some extent. Out
side orders to purchase were moderately free,
and some local operators were inclined to pur-
chase for an investment, and this combination
was sufficiently strong to check any material
decline in prices. Manufacturers, too, were
more independent in this view Notwithstanding
the decline IN prices of hogs, as a rule were
asking higher prices for all the leading de-
scriptions, more especially those most in request
for the consumptive trade. The weather, too,
was somewhat colder, and this was regarded as
a favorable feature.
The market opened rather tame at about the
closing figures of yesterday, and a slight re-
duction was temporarily submitted to. Later,
with fair miscellaneous buying, the market ex-
hibited some strength, with trading chiefly in
May contracts, and prices were slightly adj
vanced.
