broke 10 81 O03s. The market recovered to
81 Of. hung around there during most of the
morning. and then lifted to 81 OILS, and finally
TO 81 024. 1t was on this advance that many
OF the early buyers sold out. Corn was very
deceptive. 1t started quite strong, improved a
trifie, and then broke badly. An attempt to
buy little on this break lifted it to the highest
point of the day The market for May especially
was an unnatural one. Attempts to sell had as
much effect in making low quotations as the
efforts to buy had in making high ones May
started at 6334c, sold to $3.50, of TO 624c, aud
up TO 63S4c. The quantity of actual business
was small Oats were quiet and undressing.
The trade was all of Ecalping nature and
pretty well scattered. The market was sympa.
thetic, following corn closely. May started at
531sc, sold to 5SAc, off to 52l4c and up to 5314c
again. Provisions were easier and dull, with
Cudahy again in the market on the selling side.
Other packers were touching tho market
lightly, but selling for the most part. On call
there was little more firmness, but although
corn became very strong, pork did not manage
TO get as high as yesterdays closing prices.
