points vas that not q bushei was re-
ceived at st. Louis and shipments from
there were only $4,000 bushels. The ex-

COMPRISED 5000 bushels Of wheat and

ncstic movement were favorable to

The corn market started without any
business In either direction. It soon.

strength. and In the end led the ai-
vance IN the grain markets. The cash
demand was good both by local Gus
toners. warehousen1en and shippers

estimates are only 100. May sold at the
opening at AZ 7-Sc spar1ngay. but more
freely at 4ac. It worked steadily up-
ward to 44c and closed there.
Oats participated In the general firm-
ness and fluctuations were principally
influenced by the higher prices in the
other markets. A fair business was
done. There were not many more oats
offered In theScash market than could
be easily consumed and the strength
was the principal feature here and ex-
tended quickly to the speculative
crowd. May Sold at e 2-lne9c and
closed at % 7-s02sc.
The provision market was Arm. but
dull. The receipts were only $4,000
hogs instead Of $4,000 al estimafed.
