active ut the start. First prices for May wheat
wera from 81 02 to 81 021s. The demand was
such as to carry it quickly to 81 O2lz. Realizing
sales on this rapid advance caus d reaction to

time between 81 O24 to 81 02L5 before again
starting TO climb. The second splurge carried

May was at 663sc, and in July at 6516c, which Is
merely 9sQ34c advance, respectively, on yester-
days closing figures The highest prices for
oats was made to-day when May sold at 5sc
thereby showing an advance of 1c on the preyi-
high point, and the squeeze still goes on. The
market was active early and rather quiet to-
ward the close. The opening for MAY was &C
54c, then to Doc, to 54c aud then to 5476c the
cioso being at point 5sc higher than yester-
day later figure. The provision market felt
the fury OF tue storm, which was raging in corn
and for time the traders in hog products were
only trifie behind corn spectators in their
eagerness TO come off the short side. For May
pork the opening price was 81 60, and it shot
up smartly to S11 IS, but reacted again around

excited than pork. Fluctuations were confined
to range of about 50119c. The comparative
cheapDess OF ribs attracted attention, and in
such strong advancing market they had a
large share of speculative attention.
