although the close was not at the nlgn
figures OF the session. At the top ngures
the profits were tempting to the lonss,
who sold out before the close, prizes
losing something by the operation Inc
difference between December and May
narrowed TO very nearly &c. to-day.
May wheat opened at from % 5-SneO l~z
to 60 l-2c., and sold to 81 l-ic.. closing al
Gle. with the gain above noted Casn
wheat was firm and 1-2c. higher.
Corn-The trading in corn was at
higher range of prices, though the advance
was not enough TO arouse enthusiasm OF
cause unusual activity. The strength
which permitted Of the advance was az
tributed to Improvement in wheat and TO
light receipts OF corn.
May corn opened at % S-4c, and adj
vanced to % 1-Sc., c.osing at % l-ic.-5-sc.
higher than yesterday. Cash corn was
firm.
oats derived benefit from the upward
movement OF the other grains. Inc
amount of business, whilst probably
little better than has been noted lately,
was, however. considerably short OF fair.
May oats closed 1-Snl-ic. higher tnan
Yesterday. Cash oats were firm and FUZZY
l-4c. higher
northumberland closed at about the
same prices as ruled at the opening, al
though there was an advance In the m
term The hog market was down this
morning, and provisions responded at the
start The strength OF wheat was con-
sidered encouraging, however. and the
scapers bought, but offerings became too
free for the advance 10 be maintained
and at the close the feeling was scarcely
steady. at a complete loss OF the early APP
probation.
At the close May pork was a shade
higher than yesterday. May lard ana
| ribs were unchanged.
