slant and close attention to follow the
devious ways of wheat to-day. Bull news
was needed 10 assist prices, whilst snort
sellers were timid and apprehensive, az,
than recently. At the start, a moderate de-
cline took place, selling being prompted
by larger Northwestern receipts. and by
Indifferent Liverpool cables An expecta-
ton that reports would show good de-
crease in stocks prevented great recess
sion, however and even caused prices TO
rally. Wheat was freely offered at the
enhanced value. and another decline took
place When the report was received at
noon a bulge took place, after which
the action was erratlc. the market finally
resting at ,sa nrS so def 5s @e n 'ae
2.lS2.6o0 bushels, and another or 1:593.OoO
bushels on the Pacific during March was
reported.
66 5-sc., sold between 81 and C. 3-Sc., and
closed at 66 7-S-l-Sdl-ic. higher than yes
terday. Cash wheat was steady:
Corn-Until noon corn was influenced
principally by the action and tone or
wheat, but after that time. the trade was
more impressed by the reports OF an IN
crease OF 1,3s4.Oo0 bushels: Prices did not
decline much. but the feeling was Tar
from strong. May corn opend at 30 lie,
declined to 80 Lac, and closed at 30 3-S-
1-sc.. under yesterday. Cash corn was
weak, and 1-ic. per bushel lower.
Oats-The market was quiet, and the
tone rather easy. An increase in available
supplies of 246OC0 bushels was reported.
May oats closed shade under yesterday.
Cash oats were easy, and lac. per bushel
lower.
Provisions-The number OF hogs arriving
at the yards continues less than the
estimates, and prices at that place show
more strength. This fact naturally tends
to help product, and the market this
morning was firm on this encourage
ment. The selling was better than the
buying. however. and an early advance
was soon lost and further declines fol-
lowed.
At the close May pork and lard were
each 5d7 lie. under yesterday. and May
ribs sc. lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
