There was a general desire TO seu wnca' a.
the opening and loudly Expressed wish 70 eet
some corn. The wheat traders changed their
minds In a short time, and many times 10 tne
course OF the days proceedings, but those VINO
wanted corn were 80 ill-suppbed that their COM
plaIuts became louder and louder until, after
| bidding up 10 62JSc. for the May delivery, me
moro pressing requirements OF the greater mum.
| Der were satisfied for the time. Wheat opener
| I6c lower and closed Sc higher than yesterdays
| latest trading prices. Corn started with buyers
but no sellers at the last quoted prices OF inc
| day before and closed at an advance of cents.
| The Government report on the amount OF tnese
cereals still IN farmers hands, issued after the
| close OF trading yesterday afternoon had mucn
| 70 do with the course Of prices. There was a
sharp bulge in oats that carried the price up "
| $500. for May delivery, thereby scoring an eu-
| vance OF IlSc on the highest prices previously
/ attained. The market was active and excited
| with good buying by the ehorts and compa-
ratiyely few sellers. The great strengih IN tne
/ corn market created demand for nog proouc,t
| which could only be satisfied at a considerable
| advance In prices, and that occurred In the
| course Of the day. such Of the packers as we're
/ short bought rather freely and the offerings pc
cams light. The opening Of the market was
| easier.
