day. under lower English cables, May clos
ing &c lower. May oats and corn each
closed sc lower but provisions. after an
early slump finished at advances.
Wheat opened weak here because New
York sent selling orders to inaugurate the
uay business, ana those We're Tor a larger
quantity than the Chicago bulls were pre-
pared to absorb A Liverpool cablegram re-
ceived by New York firm saying that the
foreign market, after opening firm, had
closed weak, owing to freer offerings from
Argentine, was given as the cause of weak
ness in New York. Receipts at primary

trading at 4i5sc at the close.
In oats quite a good business was trans
acted. and values at the end showed a
slight falling off from Saturday. The inf1u-
