on Reports of Fine Weather and
Ioxyer Price. In Europe.

Yesterdays closing. with the feeling easy and
prices subject to further decline of &c, then
rallied slightly, but again became weak, and
prices for May declined lc: while July Declined
only &c then ruled steadier, and the Market
closed about &c lower for May and 74G9sc
lower for July than the closing figures oil yes
terday.
The weakness was attributed to the hne
weather, but more particularly to the dull and
heavy feeling reported in the European mar
kets, all of which were quoted lower, and the
English market advices were emphasized with
the remarks that indications favored still lower
prices. A dispatch was received saying that
some of the Russian ports were open ana that
Russia was offering to sell more freely:
Corn was traded in to a moderate extent. anu
the feeling developed was a little easier. trans
actions being at slightly lower prices. The
easier tone was attributed almost entirely to
the decline in wheat. The market opened a
easy though no decline of consequence was
noted, fluctuated slightly and closed &c lower
than yesterday.
Oats were moderately active and steady
There was good buying for May by large
operator, who sold on yesterday and selling by
most of those who bought. There was little
outside demand late in the session, and prices
receded sac for May. July showed consid-
cradle strength, and few trades made were at
a slight premium over June.
Mess pork-Rather an active business was
transacted. Prices ruled somewhat irregular
within a range of 5G71sc, and averaged higher,
but outside figures were not supported to the
close
Lard-A fair trade was supported and a COM
paratively steady feeling prevailed.
