though denials were quite as numerous
as the rumors. TO the former the value
of wheat IL indebted for loss OF lie. TO,
day The rumors referred to financial
difficulties, involving different banks at
New York. No confirnationi OF them
was received. The only buyins was by
shorts, and by those who held puts. May
opened at Bs.. &c. under yesterdays close,
advanced TO 652.. declined. and closed at
64a.c.. n net loss OF lc. for the day.
Cash corn was quiet and about 1zc.
Oatswere dull and inactive with the
tone steady, when the weakness In wheat
and corn is considered. and the price
suffered loss OF but &c. for the day
Provisions were more under the fniiu-
encs of light receipts Of live hogs than
they were susceptible to the lower prices
