CHICAGO-Reports OF drought In In
Ola to-day, together with domestic crop
damage claims had bu!lish effect on
wheat. May closed 7ss higher. Corn
gained &c and oats ga &c; pork left off
PC higher; lard unchanged and ribs
2i.c lower.
The early news connected with wheat,
taken altogether. was encouraging TO
the bulls and at the start the market
recovered somewhat from the extreme
dependency il evidenced Saturday. The
better feeling was impaired by steady
foreign markets and the small worlds
shipments last week. The exports from
this country comprised about Go per
cent of the total, while Russia and the
Danuhian countries combined furnished
only about 10 per cent. May opened
AGNc higher at from 69nT69T. &; G9$tc,
but the demand at the Improvement
was not urgent. Scattered selling by
commission houses forced the price off
to $3.50. At that point. however, the
selling pressure slackencd and an up
ward tendency set in. Chicago received
IS cars. of which only three graded
contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got
O5' cars. compared with IA for the
same day last year. Primary western

increased $4,000 bushels; last year 1t
decreased 557 600 bushels Clearanccs Of
wheat and -four from Atlantic ports
equalled 26l, 600 bushels. The principal
feature of the days news was the crop
damage reports. They came from all
directions and made much more posi-
tive claims OF winter killing that pre-
viouS ndviccs. Near the close the re-
ported damage to the Indian wheat
crop by drought and the steadiness Of
European markets caused this market
TO rule firm TO the end. From 699sc for

Oats We're firm in sympathy with the
