weak front to-day. The bears were still in
control OF the situation at the opening, and
maintained their position throughout the en-
tire session, with the exception OF a very short
period Of firmness. The selling to-day was
led by George II. Seaverns & Co and Lamson
Bros. & Co., whilst McDougall covered a
lower at 62hc to 624c, declined to
62Ac, reacted to 624, where it
closed with net loss of
16c for the day Corn was laDoring under the
same conditions that have existed for some
time, and for good part of the session
prices were weaker and lower. The opening
was 1sc lower than Yesterday s CLOSE, de-
clined another &c reacted &c and closed
practically unchanged from that Of Yesterday.
The action of wheat was partly Instrumental
in causing the early weakness. Oats we're much
steadier than either wheat or corn. Offerings
were not as heavy, and the demand from
shorts was more important. May closed with
gain Of &c for the day. Provisions opened
steady although the hog market was lower.
The fact that arrivals of hogs are very light
evidently cuts more figure in establishing
prices of product than does the prices quoted
for them. Packers and shorts supported
prices and succeeded in advancing them lit
tie over yesterdays close, May pork closed
15c higher; May lard 21s@5c higher, and May
ribs l0c higher.
