found reason for rejoicing in the action
of that cereal to-day. From the opening
until the close prices pressed slowly, but
surely, upward and although the gain was
not a great one, still ii was made in the
face of difficulties. The crowd was fixed
for break at the start, but an unexpected
leading and prices quickly turned in the
direction of an advance and continued to
creep higher till the end OF the session.
May wheat opened 50 to 591zc, advanced
TO 59s4c, closing at 595sc-&niRc higher
than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
without essential change to prices.
There was a slow trade in corn, prices
being confined within a range of 4 of
cent all day. May opened at 1870, sold
between that and SOC. closing at 495sc-a
shade over yesterday Cash corn was
steady
A moderate advance was made in the
oat market the aid to which came from
wheat and corn May closed at n slight
fraction over yesterday. Cash oats were
a shade firmer

start to-day it looked somewhat dubious
for product the weakness in live hogs

trade. The turn in wheat, however
. worked an improvement in provisions and
a recovery took place which was kept
well in hand until the close. January
pork was unchanged from yesterday at
the end of the session; January lard 21lc
higher and January ribs &c higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
