strong throughout the days session. The brilliant
outlook for spring wheat and corn has caused a
complete change in sentiment so far as the profess
sional element is concerned. little while ago the

and Quincy, has disconnected the bearish element.

slightest tendency to recede. Sugar, Chicago Gas
and Leather preferred were in the best demand.
