wheat market found themselves in trouble
this morning again and as the short ses-
sion was on they were plunged in deeper
worry. The export tales from New York
yesterday had not fully borne fruit when
business was over but on the curb they
were effectually worked and an unofficial
gain OF Ac took place. This Improvement
was fully sustained at the opening this
morning and more was added to the price
during the first hour. 1t was broad mar
ket, and individual operations were not
appreeiable in the excitement and uproar
although two of the heavy short sellers
were believed to have covered very freely
Higher Liverpool cables at the opening
and sharp advances in continental mar
kets at the close were features of strength
More than all else in causing alarm, now
ever, was the insufficiency of moisture in
the southwest. July wheat opened from
62B to 62&c, advanced to 64Ac, and closed
at 6fsc-15sM1Ac higher than yesterday
Cash wheat was l12c higher than yester-
day.
Corn had a fair share of the speculative
action and was benefited literally by the
boom in wheat. Scalpers and local traders
were heartily in sympathy with the
eighth advance in that market was the
signal for increased buying of corn. July
corn opened from 4SAc to 4Sl4c, advanced
to 4S%c, where 1t closed-7sc higher than
yesterday. Cash corn was Zee per bushel
higher.
Oats moved very leisurely in the up
ward direction. The motive for advancing
was obtained from the course adopted by
wheat and corn. Some covering by shorts
took place and there was buying of long
stuff on the confidence produced by the
general strength of grain, but no partic-
larly large or notable trading occurred.
July oats closed 1s0hc higher than yester-
day. Cash oats We're firm and 14c higher.
Provisions-It would be said of product
that it was steady, that was all. The bust
ness lacked the appearance of activity, the
first of May tending to deter operators
from opening new accounts. The
hog market was firm, and higher
early, but later the advance made
was lost, so that no influence
in either direction was had on provisions
The close was &c higher than yesterday
fer July pork a shade higher for July lard
and unchanged for July ribs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
ODpDinR Highest. Lowest Closing
