but 1t averaged lower for the day. Corn is 1ac
higher for May, 7sc higher for october and 10
Veneer and lc higher for December. Provisions
are slightly higher and oats lac higher.
wheat was hrm for moment at the opening at
a shade over Saturdays closing price, but the de-
mand was quickly supplanted by pressure to
sell. December, which closed on Saturday at

The short-liyed firmness at the start was chiefly
due to strength in the corn market. but the
strength in corn really should have an opposite
effect on wheat, seeing that IL was because OF the
rain, the rain was badly Needed for the late sown
wheat, the latter market soon went downward,
Indicated by the quotations.
The foreign markets all hrmer at the
opening, with the exception of Liverpool, which,
was weak. The disposition to buy came back
with renewed force alter the decline. due to the
growing hrmness of corn.
be primary markets receipts were 1,lS2,O0
bushels, OF which 931000 bushels were Mime
apoliS and Duluth. Export cearances from the
Auanllc seaboaro amounted IN wheat and flour to
372.OoO bushels. The visible increased about
expected .53l 200 busbels-compared with
increase OF 2.349OOO bushels last year. The early
loss was recovered. aud at the close 521sc for
December and $3.50 for May were the trading
prices.
The break in the dry weather postpones to
still later day the grading of corn into the con-
proceedings in that market and on its account the
price got hoist OF from S4c to 3sc Immediately

sympathy with corn was the principal cause,
although the disposition TO buy was more proml-
nent than to SELL outside business did not
amount to much, althe ugh some orders filed.
