| wild and fluctuations violent They reacneu d
higher level than had before been touched OF
| the up turn. The feature of the market to-day
was the varying differences in the dlHereh'
futures and the selling of July closer June
ranged from the same to Nc premium, and aIse
| sold at 15c discount. July sold early At o14S
discount below May. and later 63zc discount
was made, but gradually selling to within Z24e
of the May price, and closed at &c discount

about 25sc higher than Saturday.
The highest point reached to-day shows 1915
advance from the lowest point reached some
two months ago and July advanced l254c In
the same time. Speculation. of course, had
everything to do with the advance to-day, and
| the shorts, frightened again, cabed 10 cover,
| and there was considerable excitement at vari-
Gus intervals There has no doubt been active
/ buying of May to cover shorts. and at the same
time, while there was a good deal of July sold,
the later market developed active buying for
that future. Outside business was very large,
! and there is no denying that the country is
| trading heavily. Foreign advices were faVor'
| able, quoting higher prices and hrm markets.
