ly small export trade to-day dissipa-ed
an early show of strength in wheat.
December left off at 3s@12c decline.
Corn advanced Ac. Oats are I'M
changed. Pork closed TIC lower; lard
sc, and ribs 21a@5c.
Wheat started tame, and during the
early part of the day had nothing to
stir into more than moderate activity.
However, the frmenss of the cash mar
kets in the northwest and recovery
at Liverpool resulting in Ad advance
for the day imbued the crowd here with
desire for the buying side. They ac-
cCrdingly pursued a bull policy during
the forenoon, but in a conservative
way taking moderate quantities on the
soft spots. English consois opened
5-16 per cent higher and made fur
Their Is per cent advance retaining all
of it at the close This peaceful in
dication was the balance in the smaller
domestic receipts and the closing firm
ness of the Liverpool market. 1t was
rumored that fifty loads of wheat had
been taken at New York for Europe.
Broomhall cabled that the Danubian

wheat crop credited to them earlier in
the season, saying it was now 20 per
cent below the average crop. Mime
apolis and Duluth reported receipts Of
760 cars, compared with S37 the same
day last week, and 939 a year ago.
Primary western receipts were 1,2S8,000
bushels, against 1,151,0Q bushels the
corresponding day of last year. Clear
ances from the principal Atlantic ports
were equal in wheat and flour to
$4,000 bushels. Paris reported de-
cline in flour of from 10 to 80 centimes.
The bulls weakened near the end and
bears persisted in selling on all hard
spots. New York kilograms did not
come in near the close as they have
been doing of late with claims of an
immense export business, but reported
only the fifty loads rumOred early n
the day. All that was capable CT being
confirmed was % boat loads, II of which
were for pain. December opened &c
lower at 66B067 sellers, declined to
665sc, rallied to 671a@675sc, then drop
ped back near the end to 66Ac, the
closing price bid.
Light TSCSlpUS anu tOUl-
plants OF the poor condition resulting
from the recent damp weather strength
ened corn. Strong Liverpool cables
were also a consideration, and the for
eign demand for corn as reported
from the seaiboard was urgent The
large interests favored the buying side
and prices showed a good advance the
greater part OF the day. The weak
closing to the wheat market, however
caused a weakness to corn and the adj
vance was nearly lost. Receipts were
294 cars. December opened 1sc higher
at 32A @323sc, declined to 321sc, rose
to 1925 @32%c, then weakened to
32as@3212c buyers, the closing figure.
Oats were quiet, prices being sustain
ed by the strength in corn and coed
cash demand. Receipts were 1S5 cars.
May began a shade lower at 243sc, de-
clined to 24A @245sc, sold up to 241a0
243sc, then reacted to 243s@241ac at
the close
The heavy run Of hogs was a de-
pressing feature in provisions, and more
than balanced the excellence Of the
demand for meats. The market was
dull throughout and the tendency Of
prices was slightly downward Janu-
airy pork opened SC lower at 50 C71a,
advanced to So 10, then declined to
SO G5 sellers, the closing figure. The
fluctuations in lard and ribs were mar
row.
