eral variations in tone with corresponding ad-
vances and declines and the net result was a

day there was no marked feature to the trad
ing, which, was principally for local account.
The market opened unchanged from yester-
day, declined n fraction, reacted &c. eased
OF and closed as above. Corn-Tradiug was
mainly local as in wheat, the transactions
were OF the character which are usually seen
on the last day OF the week, that is, covering
by shorts and evening up by longs. The
opening was slightly higher than yesterday s
close, declined lac, advanced ti61a6C and the
close was with that amount gained over yes
terday. Oats Dull and steady with no fel-
| ture OF note to the trade, Price changes
were governed by those of corn and the close
was &C above yesterday. Provisions were only
moderately active. he opening was firm
| on account of the advance in prices for live
| hogs Offerings then became slightly In ex-
cess Of the buying demand, and an easier
| feeling prevailed Later when wheat
strengthened, some Improvement was made
in product. At the close there was some de-
cline, from the outside with firm under
tone. Pork closed 2%ac higher than yester.
| day May lard 2iac higher and May ribs ga
TIC higher.
