yesterdays close. Later in the day prices
became quite strong, and advanced l50Ac
further. The close was at the outside and
showed net gain of 1501ssc for the day. Corn
was easy in anticipation OF an INCREASE in the
| interior movement ana on selling by receiv-
Ing houses. Opening prices were unchanged
from those OF yesterd day, declined sc, reacted
slightly, and the close showed a net loss
of &c for the day. Oats were moderately ac-
tive and easier. Prices declined 140%c, but
reacted. The close. however, showed net
loss OF &c for the day Provisions were 50
dull that they responded easily TO very small
offerings or moderate buying. An advance in
the price of live hogs caused rather firm
opening. Some selling by packers was in
strumental in causing slight decline, and
later, on the appearance Of some buying or
probably to cover shorts, there was reac-
ton and advance. May pork closed 2Hc
higher than yesterday May lard and ribs
were unchanged.
