wheat had suffered from the frosts or
Saturday and Sunday nights. The go1d
news was reflected In the easier opening
or that market to-day. Before the close,
however, the crowd had worked them
selves into a feYersh condition over the
predictions Of continued freezing weather
tonight and apprehensive that the grow
ing grain would not fare so wen durinr-
the next forty-two hours, bought freely
OF both short and long" wheat. From
an easy start the market developed into =
roaring bun one, with prices showing d
net appreciation Of 11sc at the close. July
wheat opened from 64Ik to 64Hc. declined
to 637sc, then ruled firm and higher, clos
ing at 65ssc-lhc higher than Saturday
Cash wheat Sample lots) sold a steady

lures.
Corn-The corn belt sent in reports OF
damage to that grain this morning. iowa
seemed TO be the greatest sufferer by the
frost and that state was to have another
visitation OF severe freezing tonight

closing al JDH15lc--Izc higher than yester-
day. Cash corn ruled steady, but closing
firm and &c per bushel higher

served to sustain prices. Business was
not remarkable for anything in p8rtic9-
lar. Local traders having control Of the
market. July oats closed &c lower thar.

PrOvisons-From 1890 until the close
at lbs p. m, there we're just three traders

therefore the stagnation that prevailed in
this market. The hog market was witn>
out change, no direction to product being
afforded by the advances from the yarcs.
