May Nhent Stronger, but Other Features
Lose Ground-Corn and Oats Hold
Their own-Trifug Changes

bulled some on the report from New York that
while there were no exports of wheat reportea
some 224. 900 bushels had cleared late YESTERDAY
anu would show up tomorrow.
Advices were received from California re
porting more rain and the Sacramento Valley
flooded; also. that recent frosIs had done some
damage to the wheat. Snow was reported al
Minneapolis. but weather in the West generally
was reported fine.
Corn-There was fair amount of specula-
tive business transacted, and the situation was
relatively firm early, influenced largely by the
| strength of wheat, but later an easier tone was
developed, due largely to large estimated re-
| ceipts. The market opened at yesterdays
| closing prices, was firm for a time, and sold up
a trife. Houses that purchased yesterday
| bought again to-day, but offerings became
| larger and prices declined &c. local elevator
| selling moderately and final quotations were
| the same as on yesterday.
| Oats-The market was fairly strong. There
was good buying by several large operators.
but the offerings were liberal and their wants
were supplied. The feeling at the opening was
rather easy, and prices receded Slightly, rallied
! &c for May, but later receded &c, and the
market closed steady at about the same prices
Pork-Not much doing and the feeling was
| comparatively steady. Prices exhibited only
slight changes, and the market closed at inside
! figures.
Lard-Trading was moderate with only slight
changes to note in prices. Shorts provided for
few contracts early, and prices advanced 216@
DC. Later the market ruled quiet. and prices
settled back again to medium figures and closed
quiet.
Short Rib Sides-There was moderate bust
ness, and the market ruled steady at about
former figures.
