was necessary to bull wheat there was
every reason for that market to advance
to-day, but beyond moderate recovery
from weak start and lower prices than
even yesterdays close, and that rally on
covering by Shorts" there was no evil
dence of any radical changes in the situa-
ton. The low price and daily receipts of
reports as to the feeding of wheat to hogs
would, it was claimed, effectually tell on
stocks and naturally produce change of
however big receipts and large ship
ments from Russia and India, there was
no inclination to invest.
The activity in the trade was irregular
and the tone variable. The opening was
weak, then came a eight rally, followed
by an easier feeling, whilst the close was
opened from 52q52ls. sold between 51a,cGD
52hc, closing at 52sM52Ac-a shade better
than yesterday. Cash wheat was IN
changed for car lots.
Corn-Although governed in some de-
gree by the fluctuations of wheat, stil
there was more tirmness to corn than
could be traced TO the finer grain to-day
There is no doubt but that STRONGER ten
dency of wheat to advance would have
allowed of much higher prices for corn,
as the buying was of a more general char
acter than the selling. May corn opened
at 4Ssc sold between 48Ac and 49Ad49&c,
closing at the top-3sQ15c higher than yes
terday. Cash corn was 12c per bushel
higher.
Oats-No ability 10 rise above or decline
below a point marked by sympathy with
wheat was noted in this market. There
was A moderate business transacted, the
oat meal trust buying fair amount. The
close was unchanged from yesterday for
Nav. prices during the session keeping
within narrow range. Cash oats were
weak early but closed firm, no essential
change in prices taking place.
Provisions-Selling by the packers
early and later bv the peoDle who bought
from them. were the only features worthy
of mention in the market for product to-
dav. No disposition to depress was seen,
sellers rather inclining to sustain them
as much as possible. a weak and lower
hog prarket made itself felt at the open
ing The close was 12lhc lower than yes-
terdav for January pork, 21a65c lower for
January lard and sc lower for January
