Wheat Business gave unmistakabe
indications at tho opening OF On under
lying sentiment of strong bullish ten
! denotes peryading the crowd. The open
ing price for May, sl.0laSl.0li, was
about tc. higher than the closing price
Saturday. The Immediate cause OF the
advance WAS the firm tone of cable adj
vices and the marked advance in price OF
silver at New York. The price fluc-
tuated for half an hour between S1.0l ia
Sl.0OI, and then an advance to 81 OH
took place, the last half of which addi-
ton took place too rapidly 10 permit Of
much business while ii was in progress.
A decline which followed the first adj
vance reduced the price Of May to 1904.
1t reacted to sl.0lt, but once more
declined to 81, at which price it closed
with an easy tone. Corn inactive and IL
| closed &c. lower than on Saturday. A
heavy liquidation in oats, superinduced
by heavy estimates for tomorrow,
caused decline Of 10. from the opening
price, which was &c. below Saturday 8
close. Mess pork--A fairly active trade
was reported and prices ruled irregular,
with moderate range. Lard-A fairly
active business. Early sales were made
ut slight decline, but later prices i'm
proved 5a7sc. and closed steady at out
side figures. Short-rib Substituting
far. Early prices about &c. lower.
During the latter part of the session
prices advanced 5a7tc. and closed steady.
