appeared to be bound for the dollar mark.
but after the noon 1t looked as though
the bottom had fallen out of the market
fVNT hn wa hndlV
sawed and a number of traders who
made profit on the upturn early, party
with their gains before the session came me
from y to V of a cent higher than yes
terday's close. Some sharp buying gave
P To6 about an ipet end of tbe s half hour
and a further advance of 1hc was record
ed. Foreign orders to buy, accompanied ny
from Argentine. inspired the strength
moderate rally from the in
side. May wheat opened from 67967l4c,
sold between 66sIc and 6S1sc, closing at
67ssc-Ac higher than yesterday. Cash

Corn was ready enough to decline with
wheat, but not as agreeable about par
ticlpating in the early advance. The
market was very common place, the I'M
provement in the finer grain early being
responded to feebly and prices receding
quickly when the slump in wheat took
place. May corn opened from 3OAq303sc,
30ssc-a shade higher than yesterday.
Cash corn sold at 4c advance, but closed
with the gain lost.
Sympathy with the other markets gov
erned the. action of oats, On the early
advance shorts" covered with freedom,
but later sold on the break. May oats
closed unchanged from yesterday. Cash
oats sold 14c higher closing easy.
Trading In product was with some ir-
regularity, the opening being at easier
figures than the close of yesterday,
through sympathy with the hog market,
which was lower. The strength of grain
early in the session helped product but
towards the close prices eased off and
at the end were about steady May pork
closed TIC higher than yesterday; May
lard, 5G715c; May ribs sc higher. Domes-
tic markets were steady.
