the rules prohibiting the practice. sold the
market of on the curb, and prices we're labor
ing under that handicap at the start to.day.
Offerings were free and for short period it
looked like stampede. but New York and

buying rorders in liberal numbers. The
effect of this buying was, OF course, an
advance In prices. Weaker cables and
fine weather had much TO do with the weak
opening. May opened &c under yesterday

ton, then advancing AIl&c, and closed lac
higher than Yesterday Oats-There was a
moderately good trade in May options, but
other futures we're dull. The close was about
1sc over Tuesdays figures. Provisions we're
weak at the start, on lower prices for hogs,
with'a large run on them. Later In the SEES
sion further decline In prices at the yards
was reflected in the provision market by
much weaker tone and corresponding recess
sion. The close showed a loss OF pc for the
day In May pork. 15c loss in May lard, and
l2H9l5c in May ribs.
